We’ve extended protection against crawling personal data on public pages. Since version 6.55 plugin encodes phone numbers as well as emails on any public page in your WordPress.
Encoding works by two switches. Either you turn on global encoding for all content on the site,
WordPress console -> Settings -> Anti-Spam by CleanTalk -> Advanced Settings -> Encode contact data -> Encode phone numbers.
That’s all, phone number is encoded and protected against crawling by spam bots!

Please welcome Evgenii, our new team member! Evgenii is an experienced software developer in web applications field and ready to rock nuts for cleantalk.org.
Here are a few words Evgenii could say about himself and the very first days in the company,
Can you tell briefly about yourself? What are you interested in, what do you live by?
Over the past few years, I’ve been interested in gaining experience as a digital nomad and exploring different cultures. In my free time, I enjoy camping, spending time outdoors, watching movies, and listening to music. I’m also passionate about topics like cosmology, cybersecurity, cryptocurrencies, decentralized networks, and playing musical instruments.
My favorite movies include Fight Club, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and The Dark Knight. As for books, I especially enjoy The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny and the works of Carlos Castaneda.
Whenever I get the chance, I like to stay active—my favorite sports are swimming, skateboarding, and football.
What did you find interesting in CleanTalk?
One of my key interests is cybersecurity. Over time, it has evolved from a hobby into a vital necessity for me. As the modern world becomes increasingly intertwined with the digital realm, the boundaries between the real and virtual worlds continue to blur, creating a single, interconnected reality. As a result, cybersecurity is no longer optional—it has become an essential part of everyday life for every modern person.
Unfortunately, this critical issue often receives insufficient attention, both from individuals and even some private companies. That’s why I’m especially grateful for the opportunity to combine my passion with hands-on experience at CleanTalk. I’m excited to contribute to solving the pressing challenges of cybersecurity alongside the CleanTalk team, gain valuable experience in the field, and continue growing professionally in this direction.
What kind of tasks did you find more challenging in the very first days with us?
One of the first complex and engaging tasks I worked on at CleanTalk was measuring page loading speed. This task involved considering a variety of important factors to make well-informed decisions about optimizing performance and enhancing the user experience.
Another particularly interesting challenge was implementing React into the project to enable smooth rendering of page elements and further improve the user experience. This task was both technically demanding and rewarding, as it required integrating modern technologies into an existing live system—a non-trivial and highly valuable experience.

Do you have specific plans for the next few months?
I plan to continue growing and developing in the field of cybersecurity together with the CleanTalk team. To gain more and more experience in this area. To try to improve the CleanTalk project, giving our users more and more confidence and positive experience in working with our products.
Good start, Evgenii! Personally, I and the CleanTalk staff are happy to work with you as a team!
