EMAILProtect hides a normal e-mail string (e.g. “info@domain.com”) by editing the HTML code.
This does not effect the outcome as the normal user sees it, but it make’s it impossible for
web crawlers to locate the e-mail address.
Most crawlers these days are “non-javascript crawlers” (to speed up the crawling process)
which means that almost no crawlers can see the re-written e-mail addresses – even though
it looks just the same for the regular user.
If you look in the source code of you WordPress page, with this plugin activated, you will see
a JavaScript (e.g. <script type='text/javascript'>plug_emp('3;4;1;6#cominfo1domain');</script>)
where it’s supposed to be an e-mail address.
