Hide links from search engine crawlers while keeping them accessible to human visitors, with full RGAA/WCAG accessibility compliance.

Benjamin Thiers

<p><strong>Link Obfuscator par Benjamin Thiers</strong> hides specific URLs from SEO bots and crawlers. The anchor text is visible immediately on page load (with configurable color and underline). The actual <code><a href></code> tag is only injected on the first human interaction — Google never sees the URL.</p>
<p>This is ideal for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Affiliate links you don’t want indexed or followed</li>
<li>Private or partner URLs</li>
<li>Any link you want to keep out of search engine results</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<p>The URL is encoded server-side (base64, charcode, ROT13, hex, or chunk redirect). A <code><span></code> with ARIA attributes (<code>role="link"</code>, <code>aria-label</code>) is rendered in its place. On the first mouse, touch or keyboard interaction, JavaScript decodes the URL and injects the real <code><a></code> tag — making it fully accessible to human users while remaining invisible to crawlers.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>5 obfuscation methods: Base64, CharCode, ROT13, Hex, Redirect</li>
<li>Shortcode <code>[linkobf_link]</code> and native Gutenberg block</li>
<li>Configurable link color and underline per link</li>
<li>Custom CSS class assignable to each link</li>
<li>Accessible: <code>role="link"</code>, <code>aria-label</code>, keyboard navigation (<code>tabindex</code>)</li>
<li>Built-in shortcode generator in the settings page</li>
<li>No external dependencies, no tracking</li>
</ul>
<h4>Accessibility</h4>
<p>Each obfuscated link renders as a <code><span></code> with <code>role="link"</code> and <code>aria-label</code>, so screen readers announce it correctly. Keyboard users can tab to it and activate it with Enter or Space. This meets RGAA and WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements for links.</p>
