## Descripció

**Link Obfuscator par Benjamin Thiers** hides specific URLs from SEO bots and crawlers.
The anchor text is visible immediately on page load (with configurable color and
underline). The actual `<a href>` tag is only injected on the first human interaction—
Google never sees the URL.

This is ideal for:

 * Affiliate links you don’t want indexed or followed
 * Private or partner URLs
 * Any link you want to keep out of search engine results

#### How it works

The URL is encoded server-side (base64, charcode, ROT13, hex, or chunk redirect).
A `<span>` with ARIA attributes (`role="link"`, `aria-label`) is rendered in its
place. On the first mouse, touch or keyboard interaction, JavaScript decodes the
URL and injects the real `<a>` tag — making it fully accessible to human users while
remaining invisible to crawlers.

#### Features

 * 5 obfuscation methods: Base64, CharCode, ROT13, Hex, Redirect
 * Shortcode `[linkobf_link]` and native Gutenberg block
 * Configurable link color and underline per link
 * Custom CSS class assignable to each link
 * Accessible: `role="link"`, `aria-label`, keyboard navigation (`tabindex`)
 * Built-in shortcode generator in the settings page
 * No external dependencies, no tracking

#### Accessibility

Each obfuscated link renders as a `<span>` with `role="link"` and `aria-label`, 
so screen readers announce it correctly. Keyboard users can tab to it and activate
it with Enter or Space. This meets RGAA and WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements for links.

#### Privacy

This plugin does not collect, store or transmit any personal data. It is fully compatible
with GDPR requirements. No cookies are set.

## Instal·lació

 1. Upload the `bthiers-link-obfuscator` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings > Link Obfuscator** to use the shortcode generator.

## PMF

### Does this work with the Gutenberg block editor?

Yes. A native block called «Obfuscated Link» is available directly in the block 
editor. Search for it by name in the block inserter.

### Which obfuscation method should I use?

Base64 is the default and works well for most use cases. All methods are decoded
client-side via JavaScript — choose based on your preference. None of them are cryptographically
secure; the goal is to prevent crawlers from indexing the URL, not to protect sensitive
data.

### What do crawlers see?

They see a `<span>` with text and ARIA attributes. No `href`, no URL. Example:
 
My link

### Does it work if JavaScript is disabled?

No. The link injection relies on JavaScript. If JS is disabled, the visitor will
see the anchor text but won’t be able to click through. This is expected behavior
for an obfuscation plugin.

### Is it compatible with caching plugins?

Yes. The obfuscation is done server-side at render time. The resulting HTML is static
and cacheable. The JavaScript injection happens client-side on interaction.
