 * Hi,
    Thank you for the plugin!
 * Just one question, I want to know is there a possibility they make a bot that
   can read it after encoding?
    I want to use this plugin to encode same of my content
   and I want to make sure they can’t make a bot to read or decode it

 * Hi [@saman27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saman27/) – thank you a lot
   for your message.
    My answer might be a bit too theoretical, but in general, 
   the following condition is given: Once you use an email on your website, it will
   be readable if someone puts in the effort and time to build something for reading
   out data.
 * The practical answer: The goal is to make it always as hard as possible to prevent
   the theoretical view.
    We do this by using different methods to encode the email
   so that the bots, that visit your website, have nearly no chance of recognizing
   your email.
 * We build a “bot” for yourselves to confirm if the encoding works well, which 
   you can try too: [https://ironikus.com/email-checker/](https://ironikus.com/email-checker/)
   
   Simply include your website URL there and it will show you if there is a URL 
   available, which is unencoded.
 * To sum all of it up:
    Yes, our product definitely helps you to protect your emails/
   content from a big variety of bots. But still, there is a slight chance of your
   email being read since the only way from preventing that is simply by not putting
   the information online.
 * Hope this brings some clarification. 🙂
    If you have questions, feel free to 
   reach out at any time!
