Although it looks like this plugin simply publishes your email address, it cleverly
renders the link when the page is viewed/loaded and email harvester see a loading
placeholder (use any page scanner to check this). Simple and effective and keeps
my published addresses organised.

This is not a cloaking plugin. This is a plugin that makes your email address clickable.
Every page builder has that today. What I was hoping for was that this would be 
a real cloaker that can protect my emails from bots. It’s not even close.

This plugin is very effective, and so simple. Plus, rapid, helpful replies from 
the Support guys makes it one of my recent plugin faves!

Am a little amazed this plugin has no other reviews as it just works so well. I 
have used it now for a year on a few websites and had no issues. It is ‘mobile friendly’,
I’m an Android user and the email ‘mailto’ function works seamlessly. Regards, Dennis
