The eternal problem when publishing your email, of course, we don’t want to receive spam in your mailbox as a result, and here we begin to resort to various methods of obfuscation (so that people understand, but bots do not understand) our email address. Silvan Mühlemann dealt with this issue, created 9 different email accounts , protected them in 9 ways , placed them on a popular server so that they were indexed by google , waited (total, nothing) 1.5 years and here it is the result ...
The graph shows the protection methods and the amount of spam in MB received by each method. As a result, the following 3 methods turned out to be the most reliable: 1. Changing the look through CSS
2. Using the CSS display: none method
3. ROT13 - encoding You can encode
email in ROT13 using the rot13 tool or php str_rot13 function and then decode using Javascript. Of the 3 I liked the 2nd method the most, as the easiest to implement.
And, at 451 degrees Fahrenheit you can still read different things.
