In the context of SEO (Search Engine Optimization), cloaking refers to the deceptive practice of presenting different content to search engines and human visitors. It involves manipulating the website's code and server settings to show content that is different from what is displayed to users.

Cloaking is typically used to try and achieve higher search engine rankings by tricking search engine algorithms into believing that the website's content is more relevant to certain keywords or topics than it actually is. For example, a website may show optimized content to search engines that include excessive keyword stuffing or hidden text, while presenting different content or a more user-friendly version to regular visitors.
