I am working on a simple static website that gives visitors basic information about myself and the work I do. I want this as a way use to introduce myself to potential clients, collaborators, etc., rather than rely solely on LinkedIn as my visiting card.
This may seem sound rather oxymoronic given that I am literally going to be placing (some relevant) details about myself and my work on the internet, but I want to limit the websites’ access from bots, web scraping and content collection for LLMs.
Is the a realistic expectation?
Also, any suggestions on privacy respecting, yet inexpensive domains that I can purchase in Europe would be of super great help.
Any attempts to mangle the body of the pages or obscure in in JS are moot. Most competent stealthy scrapers have visionai as a fallback, so even if you reduce the ability to programmatically parse the page body, the bot can just snatch an image of the page and OCR the contents.
what scrapers actually go to such lengths? I’ve never heard of any.
Not general purpose ones.
