The best advice for your scenario?
SafeGuard Cloud mirrors your content from our servers, but there are many differences between SafeGuard Cloud and other "cloud" hosting services (like Cloudfare). While SafeGuard Cloud provides all of the usual features like reduced latency, reduced download times and DDoS protection, SafeGuard Cloud provides most unique features not available elsewhere:
Bots are used for a variety of purposes and while GoogleBot and BingBot can be important for web exposure, most other bots are not interested in anything more than extracting data and media for their own benefit, and that can include reselling your media or analysing web traffic and content to advise your competitors how to get a better ranking that you. Scraping has never been friendly and it has been going on for a very long time. Most people tolerate it because doing anything about it has been beyond the scope of most website operators.
But now that AI is scraping websites website operators are being robbed outright, because unlike search engines that provide a link for more information, AI "answers" take all claim for the information with no link back to where it was scraped.
SafeGuard Cloud is a no nonsense solution that can prevent all bots regardless of fake user-agent and fingerprint.
Site owners can allow access to select bots by nominating a tariff to be paid for access rights:
Pages and collections of pages can be nominated for copy protection that uses the most secure solution ever imagined. The ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS) provides a secure tunnel between server and the user's desktop by delivering encrypted web page sthat only the ArtisBrowser can decrypt and display. When a page is tagged for Protect Mode it cannot be saved, copied or extracted in any way, even by using packet sniffer software.
Pages and collections can be nominated for DRM protection that require a token that governs a users right to view.
Pages protected by SafeGuard Cloud will not be accessible by normal web browsers, as the ArtisBrowser is the only web browser that can decrypt SafeGuard Cloud pages. However that will not affect other pages in your website because the only pages to be encrypted will be those that you specifically nominate, leaving all other pages (doorway pages) open to the public to serve as search engine fodder.
None. Unlike other cloud services, you do not have to mess with DNS server configuration for proxy services. Any web site at all can use SafeGuard Cloud.
Approved account holders are provided the HTML code to manually add to the pages to be protected by SafeGuard Cloud. Otherwise, if using a CMS like WordPress or Moodle, plugins are available to nominate which pages are to be protected by simply nominating keyword/s found in the page's url. For example by nominating "lesson", all pages that inlude that word, like https://example/lesson/maths1/ will be protected by SafeGuard C;loud. Any web site can use SafeGuard Cloud, even if using static html.
While CMS plugins may be used to nominate which pages are protected, your dashboard at safeguard.media can manage all manner of settings for the options mentioned above.
