A Galaa plugin that makes copying site content harder: it can block printing, right-click, dragging and text copying, with restrictions assigned per user group.
AntiCopy by Galaa is aimed at site owners who want to stop casual copying of their texts and images, such as author blogs, training portals or catalogues with original product descriptions. The plugin applies a set of browser-side restrictions, and every rule can be assigned to user groups, so registered members may keep abilities that guests lose. Such measures cannot make content fully copy-proof, but they do make quick or bulk copying much less convenient.
Features
- Block printing of the page.
- Disable the right-click context menu.
- Prevent dragging and copying of text.
- Show a pop-up message when someone tries to copy or cut.
- Obfuscate the page HTML so it is harder to read.
- Exclude selected URLs from the rules.
- Stop other websites from loading the site inside a frame.
Compatibility
- Joomla 5 and 6, current version 5.3.0, last updated in JED on 17 March 2026.
- A paid full version exists. It adds source code protection, hides the page when JavaScript is off, reacts to open developer tools and blocks keyboard shortcuts; it also lets search engine bots bypass the protection and can add a noarchive meta tag.
