Public Email for Authors / Speakers
Public-facing professionals (authors, speakers, journalists) need contact emails. Obfuscate to reduce spam.
HTML entities (recommended)
Each character becomes a numeric HTML entity. Browsers render it as the original email, but most simple scrapers reading the raw HTML see gibberish.
<a href="mailto:hello@example.com">hello@example.com</a>
How it renders in a browser:
💡 Modern spam bots are sophisticated. Obfuscation slows them down but isn’t bulletproof. For maximum protection, combine with: server-side rate limiting on contact forms, honeypot fields, and reCAPTCHA-equivalent. For low-stakes use (a contact page on a small site), HTML entity obfuscation cuts scraper hits by ~60-80%.
Author Contact tips
Authors with public Wikipedia or book pages get a lot of email scraping. Obfuscation on personal sites helps.
For speaker bureaus and event sites where attendees need contact info, obfuscation balances accessibility with anti-spam.
Pair with rate limiting on your inbox (Gmail does this by default) — defense in depth.
