That won't prevent derivatives.
If you want, you can use the CC-BY clause to have
users assign attribution to your website, but the
work remains free. Then if someone starts their
own copy of the work and makes a derivative,
their version must attribute your website.
You could then use CC-BY-SA so that if this other
website modifies the work in a way you like,
you can roll it back into your version.
Otherwise, they could honor attribution requirements
and license teh work All Rights Reserved, then you
wouldn't be able to use the derivatives.
So, look at using CC-BY-SA, and read the clause in
the legal text version about having people assign
attribution to your website.
