Clear-Text Email Checker

Scans the page for email addresses exposed in plain text.

What this tool checks

  • Email addresses not exposed in plain text

    Scans the rendered HTML for email addresses written as plain text (outside mailto: links are still counted).

    Why it matters: Plain-text email addresses on public pages are harvested by spam bots. Obfuscating them or using a contact form reduces spam without hurting real users.

    If it fails: Replace plain-text addresses with a contact form, or obfuscate them (e.g. render with JavaScript, use an image, or entity-encode).
