WindCodex ScraperBlock – Block AI Scrapers & Bots from WordPress & WooCommerce for WordPress

WindCodex ScraperBlock is a free WordPress plugin that blocks AI scrapers, content crawlers, and unwanted bots from harvesting your site. Protect blog posts, product pages, and proprietary content from being fed into AI training datasets – without slowing your site down for real visitors.

Setup takes under two minutes: install, enable the protections you want, save.

Why Your Site Needs Bot Protection AI crawlers – including GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), Google-Extended, ByteSpider, CCBot (Common Crawl), and dozens more – continuously scrape WordPress sites for training data. For content creators, WooCommerce store owners, and publishers, this means:

Your original content gets harvested and used without permission or attribution.

AI training traffic inflates your server load and bandwidth costs.

WooCommerce store owners face a specific threat – price bots and competitor scrapers continuously harvest product prices, stock levels, and catalog data to undercut your pricing in real time.

Proprietary product descriptions, pricing strategies, and business data are exposed to competitors and AI systems.

Scraper traffic can mask real user patterns in your analytics.

ScraperBlock gives you practical, layered defences against these threats – all from one settings screen.
