About this plugin
HapiGuard detects and blocks invalid ad clicks in real-time, protecting your AdSense and Ad Manager account from policy violations caused by click bombing, bot traffic, and accidental repeated clicks.
All core protection features are free and fully functional with no account required. The plugin stores blocked click data locally in your WordPress database and shows you a 7-day summary right in the admin dashboard — no external service needed.
Optionally, you can connect a free RevHapi account to add cloud-powered features such as geo-blocking, email alerts, and advanced analytics. These are provided by an external service that processes data on RevHapi servers. The core plugin works entirely without it.
How it works
- Install and activate the plugin
- HapiGuard immediately begins monitoring ad clicks on your pages
- When a visitor exceeds your configured click limit within the time window, they are blocked from seeing ads
- The plugin records each blocked click in your local WordPress database
- Your Protection Summary shows blocked clicks and total click counts from the last 7 days — no account needed
Core features (free, no account needed)
- Real-time click detection and blocking
- Works with AdSense, Auto Ads, and Google Publisher Tag (GPT / Ad Manager)
- Preemptive CSS hiding — ads are hidden synchronously for blocked visitors before any network request
- Vignette and interstitial ad blocking — blocked visitors cannot see overlay ads
- Configurable click limit, time window, and ban duration
- Local 7-day stats: blocked clicks and total click count shown in admin without any external service
- Client-side fingerprinting using canvas, screen resolution, and timezone — no server round-trip required for blocking decisions
Optional cloud features — external RevHapi service
The RevHapi cloud service is a separate, optional offering. com adds:
- Server-side page view and session tracking
- Geo-blocking — block or allow specific countries
- Email alerts when a click spike is detected
- Anomaly detection across visitors
- Advanced analytics: page views, sessions, avg time-to-click
These features require server-side processing (cross-site fingerprint correlation, email delivery, geo IP lookups) that cannot be performed by the WordPress plugin alone, so they are provided as an external service under Guideline 6. The plugin’s local click protection is fully functional without them.
