Сүрөттөө
cloaked.ink injects a lightweight script tag into your site that loads the cloaked.ink widget. The widget fetches your CMS content and renders it as Canvas-drawn glyphs — no text appears in the DOM, so content cannot be selected, copied, or scraped.
How it works:
- The plugin strips full post content from the HTML response, serving only a short excerpt
- The cloaked.ink widget fetches your content via a secure API and renders it as Canvas graphics
- Visitors read your content normally — but it cannot be selected, copied, or scraped from the page source
Features:
- Zero-config per article — the widget auto-discovers content containers
- Works with any WordPress theme
- Lightweight — single async script tag, no impact on page load speed
- Full formatting preserved (headings, paragraphs, lists, links)
- Responsive — adapts to any screen size
- Server-side content stripping — full content never appears in page HTML, RSS feeds, or meta tags
- Enable/disable toggle in settings
Requirements:
- A cloaked.ink account at cloaked.ink
- A registered WordPress site in the cloaked.ink dashboard
External Service (required):
This plugin depends on the cloaked.ink hosted service. It loads a JavaScript widget from https://cdn.cloaked.ink/w.js on every front-end page load. This script is the runtime client for the cloaked.ink SaaS — it creates a sandboxed iframe that communicates with https://api.cloaked.ink to fetch glyph data and render your content as Canvas graphics. The script cannot be bundled locally because it is versioned and updated as part of the service infrastructure, similar to how Stripe.js, Google reCAPTCHA, and Cloudflare Turnstile operate.
Data transmitted to cloaked.ink servers:
- Page URL (to identify which content source to render)
- Content source identifier (configured per-site in the cloaked.ink dashboard)
- Visitor IP address (hashed server-side for rate limiting, never stored in plaintext)
No cookies are set. No personal data is collected by the plugin itself.

FAQ.KG
-
Does this affect my SEO?
-
When the plugin is active, full post content is replaced with a short excerpt (~55 words) in the HTML response. Search engines index the page title, excerpt, and meta description — enough to rank and appear in search results. The full content is rendered as Canvas graphics for visitors with JavaScript enabled. This follows the same pattern used by paywalled sites like NYT and WSJ, which Google explicitly supports.
-
Can I disable the plugin temporarily?
-
Yes — go to Settings > cloaked.ink and uncheck the “Enable cloaked.ink” checkbox. The script tag will stop being injected.
-
Does this work with page builders?
-
Yes. The plugin injects a script tag into the
<head>and the widget auto-discovers standard content containers (.post-content,.entry-content,.article-content). -
Does this affect the WordPress REST API?
-
No. The WordPress REST API (/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/) returns full post content unmodified. The content stripping only applies to the front-end HTML rendered by your theme. The cloaked.ink service uses the REST API to fetch content for Canvas rendering.
-
What do visitors without JavaScript see?
-
They see a short excerpt of the post content and a message explaining that JavaScript is required to view the full content.
