Why do websites disable right click?

The intellectual property is considered to be one of the most crucial things for all webmasters. That’s why they disable the right click to protect their intellectual property, which can be in the form of images, text, or source code.

Webmasters do not enable right-click on their websites, especially for image-based websites, as they do not want anyone to download or copy their website’s images.

Some people disable right-click to restrict anyone to copy their website content.

If the right-click is disabled, no one will be allowed to extract the direct links mentioned on your website. (See Why do websites have so many ads?)

Some webmasters believe that impairing the right click improves the security of the site. Maybe those webmasters are not aware this security measure can easily be evaded.

Sometimes the site gets reloaded by mistake, unintentionally. This increases the resubmission errors; however, if the right-click is immobilized, it cannot be reloaded.

Some government or private institutions may disable the functioning of the right click as they want the site’s users to fall under the impression that the site is secure. (See Why Amp pages are good for your site?)
