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.

Overview

About this plugin

TrueSift Ad Detect helps publishers respond to ad blocking without turning the website into a wall. It checks the browser quietly and gives you control over what happens only when blocking is confidently confirmed.

Choose the experience that fits your site:

  • Show a friendly reminder banner and let visitors continue.
  • Redirect confirmed detections to your own information or support page.
  • Use the browser event to build a completely custom front-end experience.
  • Discourage casual copying with independent right-click and copy controls.
  • Keep copying available while automatically adding the current page URL as the source.

The banner can be matched to your website with light, dark or custom colors, adjustable width, corner radius, typography and six placement options. A live preview in the WordPress admin helps you see the result before saving.

TrueSift uses a fail-open approach. Only a confirmed blocked result triggers the action you selected. clear, limited, unknown, invalid responses and scanner or network failures allow the visitor to continue normally.

The Scanner V2 runtime is loaded locally from the plugin. Only the public probe resources are requested from the TrueSift scanner service.

TrueSift Ad Detect does not create a detection history in WordPress. If a visitor dismisses the optional reminder banner, only the reminder expiry is stored in browser localStorage. Content protection runs locally in the browser and does not send copied content to TrueSift.

TrueSift Ad Detect is Made in Germany by WebDigiTech.

External service

AdBlock detection is disabled by default. de to request neutral and ad-specific probe resources. These requests are necessary for the AdBlock detection feature.

Like ordinary web requests, the scanner service processes standard connection metadata such as the visitor IP address and HTTP request headers. The WordPress plugin does not send a WordPress user account, site secret, management token, form content or detection history to the scanner service.

Privacy

When detection is enabled, the browser requests probe resources from the public TrueSift scanner service. Standard network metadata is processed by that service as part of normal HTTP delivery. utm_source=wordpress_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=truesift_ad_detect&utm_content=privacy_policy for details.

The plugin stores only administrator configuration in WordPress. A dismissed banner stores its reminder expiry only in browser localStorage. Content protection settings act locally in the browser.

If source attribution is enabled, the current page URL is added to the clipboard locally; copied content is not sent to TrueSift.
