          Does it work for custom post types?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes! It automatically works for all post types without any configuration.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Will it slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No. The plugin only runs when someone clicks the Publish button. It has zero impact on page load times.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can users bypass this?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No. The plugin enforces blocking on the server-side, so it cannot be bypassed.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          The post is automatically saved as a draft, and the user sees a popup and admin notice showing which words were blocked.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
