AntiAdBlockCore – AdBlock Recovery Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Recover the ad revenue that ad blockers take from your site
A growing share of your visitors browse with an ad blocker. They read your content, but your ads never load, so every one of those page views earns you nothing. AntiAdBlockCore detects ad blockers on your WordPress site and shows those visitors a polite, customizable anti-adblock message asking them to allow ads. Visitors who whitelist your site start seeing ads again, and you get that revenue back.
It is built for publishers, bloggers and media sites that live on advertising: news, recipes, tutorials, downloads, streaming, forums or any site monetized with Google AdSense, Google Ad Manager or another ad network.
Up and running in two minutes, no code to paste
- Install and activate the plugin.
- In Settings > AntiAdBlock Core, click Click here to connect your AntiAdBlock Core account. Sign in or create your free account (no card), check the security code and approve.
- The plugin verifies your domain and the detection script goes live on every page. That is it.
No snippets to copy, no theme files to edit. The plugin adds the script to every page whatever your theme, and a built-in installation check confirms it is really there.
Ad blocker detection that keeps working
- Detects the ad blockers your visitors actually use: browser extensions such as uBlock Origin, AdBlock, AdBlock Plus and AdGuard, browsers with built-in blocking such as Brave, and DNS-level or network-wide blocking.
- Built to avoid false positives: visitors without an ad blocker are left alone.
- Always up to date: detection is maintained on the service side, so it keeps up when ad blockers change, without plugin updates.
- First-party delivery: serve the script from a subdomain of your own site with a single DNS record. It stays first-party for ad blockers, which is where detection is strongest. The plugin walks you through the record step by step (including the Cloudflare grey-cloud setting) and switches over by itself when it is active. Prefer to keep it simple? Third-party delivery works too, and you can switch at any time.
An anti-adblock message that converts
- A polite, non-aggressive notice that explains why ads matter to your site and offers a one-click “I allowed ads, reload” flow.
- Translated for your visitors.
- Customize the message, colors, logo and look from your dashboard, and preview it without installing an ad blocker.
- Show the message (recovery) or, on eligible plans, run in detection-only mode through the Detection API, and exclude any page or path, such as checkout or privacy pages.
Measure what you recover
- Ad blocker rate, detections and visitors who allowed ads, per site.
- Pages, countries, browsers and ad blocker types in the dashboard (detailed analytics on paid plans).
- A monthly summary right on the plugin’s settings page.
Everything under control from WordPress
- Overview: site, account, delivery mode and status at a glance, with a Check button and a link to the step-by-step guide.
- Protection switch: turn ad block protection on or off on this WordPress in one click.
- Installation check: opens your home page and your latest posts and pages as an anonymous visitor and confirms the script is on each one, and off the pages you excluded.
- Logged-in editors and administrators are skipped by default, so your team never sees the message and their visits stay out of the stats.
- Manual code option for headless front ends or builders that serve their own HTML.
Works with your stack
- Any theme, including themes that do not call wp_head().
- Caching and optimization plugins: WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, Autoptimize, SiteGround Optimizer, Perfmatters, Flying Press and W3 Total Cache. The script is excluded from minification and JavaScript delay, and page caches are purged when something changes.
- Cloudflare, including Rocket Loader.
- AMP pages and feeds are skipped automatically.
- Multisite: each site connects on its own.
Plans
The free plan includes 10,000 detections per month, no card required. Paid plans add more detections and sites, full customization of the message and detailed analytics. Plans are managed in your AntiAdBlock Core dashboard, never inside WordPress: the plugin code is complete and the same for every plan.
Third-party service
This plugin relies on the AntiAdBlock Core service (https://antiadblockcore.com), a software-as-a-service run by the plugin authors. It is required for the plugin to work.
- When you connect: nothing is sent until you click the connect button. Then the plugin sends your site address and name, the WordPress, PHP and plugin versions, your admin language and whether the site is a multisite, a subfolder install or a non-production environment to https://antiadblockcore.com. It receives a token limited to this site, used to read the site’s status, usage and plan and to verify your domain. No user accounts, emails or content of your site are ever sent.
- In the background: while connected, the plugin reads that status once an hour so the script address, the verification state and your quota stay current. It stops when you disconnect.
- On your pages: once the domain is verified, your pages load the detection script from antiadblockcore.com or, with first-party delivery, from a subdomain of your own domain that points to the same service (you create that DNS record yourself; nothing is changed for you). For each page view the script reports whether an ad blocker was detected and which kind, the page path, the browser type and the country derived from the visitor’s IP address. The IP address is used in transit to derive the country and to protect the service; it is not stored in the statistics and is deleted from the service’s server access logs after 14 days. To count recoveries correctly, the script keeps a small first-party entry on your own domain: in the browser’s local or session storage and, when your site spans several subdomains, in a first-party cookie on your domain. It holds only a timestamp flag, contains no identifier, is not used for advertising, profiling or tracking across sites, and expires after 30 days. Describe it in your privacy or cookie policy and decide, under the rules that apply to you, whether your consent tool should cover it.
- Credit: the message shown to visitors who have an ad blocker carries a small “powered by AntiAdBlock Core” link. It appears only inside that message, only for visitors with an ad blocker, and higher plans can switch it off.
- Terms of service: https://antiadblockcore.com/terms
- Privacy policy: https://antiadblockcore.com/privacy
The detection script is loaded from the service and is not bundled in this plugin; the plugin code itself is fully readable.
