The Shieldify script

What the Shieldify script actually does

One line on your website, checked against a crawler list that updates every day. When an AI company's crawler arrives, it gets a clear refusal instead of your work.

How it works

  1. 1

    One line goes on your site

    You paste a single shield line into your site's page header. No plugin, no server access, no developer.

  2. 2

    Every visit gets checked

    The line asks our gateway whether the visitor matches a known AI crawler. The answer comes back in milliseconds.

  3. 3

    Known crawlers are refused

    If it's GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Applebot-Extended or any of the other crawlers on our live list, the request is answered with a clear 403 refusal and your content is never shown.

  4. 4

    You see it happen

    Every block is recorded on your dashboard under Live blocks, so you can see exactly which AI company came knocking and when.

Why it beats blocking things yourself

A rules file only asks politely

The shield line answers with an actual refusal, not a request to be left alone.

A hand-written server block goes stale

Our crawler list refreshes every single day, so bots launched next month are covered without you touching anything.

Server-side blocking needs hosting access

The shield line works on WordPress, Shopify, Wix and Squarespace — anywhere you can paste one line.

You never find out what happened

You get a live record of every crawler turned away, on your own dashboard.

Being straight with you

No one can promise that every AI company everywhere will behave. Some crawlers hide what they are. What we can do is put a clear, current, provable block in place — the rules file, the page tags, and the live shield line together — and show you the record of it working.
