Analytics could tell you that without exposing your email address to the world.

  But analytics wouldn't allow me to respond to the people asking for help. The site has been up for over 20 years, I think I added the email address about 10 years ago. If it was a mistake and would result in massive amounts of spam surely I would have felt the effects by now.

    Did you obfuscate the email in any way or is it a mailto link?
    • TrueGeek 3y ago
      Nope, just a mailto: https://truegeek.com/contact https://truegeek.com/contact

        Cloudflare obfuscates it automatically, look at the raw HTML and you'll see that the mailto is replaced with a "/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" link, along with a email-decode.min.js script tag being added See: https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/tools/scrape-shield/email-address-obfuscation/ https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/tools/scrape-shield/em...

          omg, all this time I've been giving FastMail the credit. What a nice little feature.

            lol, this reminded me why I tell devs that they should be the first to QA their stuff. So they can confirm intended behavior. Indeed it’s a cool feature from CloudFlare to obfuscate all mailto links. Now you know. I was a bit curious when you claimed FastMail has the best anti spam and you rarely get junk. Even with email mx verification and all, with a p2p spam list, and a fingerprint - I still get plenty of spam email or unwanted marketing spam.
