Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview
About this plugin
A lightweight plugin that protects plain email addresses and mailto links from email-harvesting robots, by encoding them into decimal and hexadecimal entities. Has an effect on the posts, pages, comments, excerpts, text widgets and other filtered content. Works without JavaScript — just simple spam protection.
To see whether all your email addresses are properly protected, use the free page scanner tool.
Other content (like phone numbers) can be protected using [encode] shortcode:
Full-page protection that catches all email addresses
Hardened protection using JavaScript and CSS techniques
Improved phone number protection
Built-in plugin support for ACF, Jetpack, WooCommerce and many others
Check out the Premium version of Email Address Encoder.
