I am working on a simple static website that gives visitors basic information about myself and the work I do. I want this as a way use to introduce myself to potential clients, collaborators, etc., rather than rely solely on LinkedIn as my visiting card.

This may seem sound rather oxymoronic given that I am literally going to be placing (some relevant) details about myself and my work on the internet, but I want to limit the websites’ access from bots, web scraping and content collection for LLMs.

Is this a realistic expectation?

Also, any suggestions on privacy respecting, yet inexpensive domains that I can purchase in Europe would be of super great help.

    No, not really as they best way would be making it totally private.

    Edit: I see you edited the title. You might be able to slow down LLM training. However, your content is such a small percentage in the whole that I doubt it would matter.

    The simplest way might be to add a artificial delay to the page load. You could create a simple loading page that is just long enough to cause bots to move on. However, this will completely break search indexing assuming that this method works.
