If someone copies your whole site and makes a clone site of a round pakuri, how can you counter it?
Even if you create your own website with design and usability in mind, there is a possibility that a malicious person will copy the entire website and create a clone site. When people who actually suffered such damage asked for countermeasures on the social site Hacker News, various comments were received.
Ask HN: What to do when someone clones your site? | Hacker News
The site of Mr. preinheimer who reported the problem is a B2B SaaS website.
One day, Mr. preinheimer discovers that his website has been copied to a site hosted by a German hosting provider, with only some logos and colors changed. He contacted his hosting provider and registrar, but neither responded.
Preinheimer asked for advice on Hacker News, citing concerns about cloned sites appearing in search engines, confusing potential customers, and potentially resulting in lost sales. I was.
Logicalmonster, who learned about this situation, commented , ``It may be too late after the fact, but there are defensive programming techniques.'' I introduced how to make it difficult to create a clone site by recreating your own website.
One of the ways logicalmonster suggested is to 'obfuscate and minify the front-end code'. Others include subtly watermarking your site's images, using absolute rather than relative links and having your URL appear everywhere on your site, and making sure your site is somehow self-sufficient. I commented that making it dependent on the API of is also effective. He also advises that having a hidden message in the source code is enough to claim ownership of the original code, even though it's easy to clone.
Other users commented , ``We should send a suspension recommendation to the provider,'' as a more fundamental measure. 'I know it's hosted in Germany, so let's send a German-style stoppage notice by registered mail, then file a DMCA notice telling the search engine that it's been infringed. Cloned sites may disappear from search results,' said the user.
