Managed website copy protection — monthly service
Footprint OnChain quietly fingerprints every website you protect, timestamps your content so you can prove you created it first, and watches around the clock. The moment your design or content shows up on a domain that is not yours, you get an alert with the evidence.
Copying a website takes minutes — view the source, save the pages, swap the logo. Most owners only find out by accident, months later, with nothing but an argument about who had it first. Footprint OnChain removes the accident and the argument.
Every protected site carries a hidden fingerprint registered to your domain. If that code loads anywhere else on the internet, our tracker sees it and flags it as a suspected copy — with the domain, the page, the date and time, and the visitor details logged.
Your site's content — pages, photos, files — is fingerprinted with a SHA-256 hash and timestamped on the Bitcoin blockchain through OpenTimestamps. Change one letter and the fingerprint changes, so an exact match is powerful evidence of what existed, and when.
Alerts land in your inbox. When a copy is confirmed, we assemble your evidence pack — tracking logs, timestamps, and certificates — the package hosts, registrars, and platforms ask for in takedown requests.
No vague warnings. Every suspected-copy alert carries the details you need to act. (Sample alert, shown with example details.)
Your site: yourbusiness.com · Tracking ID: PS-EXAMPLE
Found loading on: a-lookalike-domain.example · Page: /index.html
When: logged with date, time, and visitor IP · Status: full details in your evidence log
Website copying shows up in a few predictable ways. Here is what Footprint OnChain does in each of them. (The scenarios are illustrative; the protection steps are exactly how the service works.)
A tiny snippet is added to your website and registered to your domain — invisible to your visitors, unique to you.
We scan your whole website — every page and every photo — hash each file, and anchor the master fingerprint with a blockchain timestamp.
Your fingerprint reports back whenever it loads. Your domain: all clear. Any other domain: flagged instantly.
An email alert with the copying domain and page, plus your timestamp certificates — proof, not just a suspicion.
· Local businesses whose site brings in their calls and bookings
· Designers and agencies whose work keeps getting cloned
· Creators and publishers whose articles and photos get scraped
· Anyone who has found "their" website wearing someone else's logo
Detection catches the copy. Timestamps prove it was yours. Evidence makes it actionable. Footprint OnChain runs all three for you.
On WordPress? Install our plugin, paste in your tracking ID, and your fingerprint is live — no code editing, and nothing for your visitors to see.
Your pages, stylesheets, and scripts are hashed as well as your words and photos — the whole build, not just the text on it.
One website often lives on several domains — www and non-www, staging, mirrors. Register them all, and only strangers trigger alerts.
After a redesign or content update, a re-scan shows exactly what changed, was added, or disappeared — and the new version gets its own fresh timestamp.
Protect every client site you ship, each with its own tracking ID and stamps, alerts routed to you. Your portfolio stops being someone else’s template library.
Setup, monitoring, and evidence are handled by Pearce Studios — a real studio you can call. No dashboard to learn, no tickets into the void.
