AdSanity – Ad Block Detection

AdSanity – Ad Block Detection is a specialized WordPress add-on that identifies visitors using ad-blocking software. The plugin automatically runs a detection script when someone lands on your site. It then triggers a targeted pop-up message only for users with active ad blockers. Visitors without ad blockers experience no interruption.

This tool helps publishers address a growing challenge. Many internet users block ads, which directly impacts the revenue that funds content creation. Large publishers face this same issue. The add-on provides a balanced approach. You can explain why your site displays advertisements and request that users disable their blocking software.

The detection system works across all major browsers and devices. You control the message content and the visitor’s required action. For example, you can block access completely until the user disables the ad blocker. Alternatively, you can offer a temporary grace period. This flexibility allows new sites to establish content value first, then implement stricter measures later. The ultimate goal remains clear: communicate your needs as a publisher while maintaining a respectful user relationship.

Key Features

Automatic Ad Blocker Detection
The script runs immediately upon page load. It identifies active ad-blocking software in the visitor’s browser without requiring manual user input or additional clicks.

Customizable Pop-Up Messages
Build a complete notice with a bold headline and explanatory body text. The message explains why ads matter for your content creation and revenue generation.

Action Requirement Options
Choose between two visitor response paths. Block users completely from accessing content until they disable the ad blocker, or grant a temporary grace period before applying any restrictions.

Grace Period Functionality
Set a specific time window where users can browse freely even with an active ad blocker. This feature helps new websites demonstrate content value before asking for changes.

Helpful Resource Links
Include a direct link within the pop-up message. You can point users to a page that describes step-by-step instructions for disabling their specific ad blocker.

Selective Visitor Targeting
The detection and messaging system activates only for users running ad-blocking software. Visitors without ad blockers never see any pop-up or interruption.

Device and Browser Support
The detection script works consistently across desktop computers, tablets, and mobile phones. It supports all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
