Antispam Bee


Using it since years and had no spam in my blog ever. Simple, clean, works.


Best Antispam Plugin


I've tested this plugin and seems to working very well. Most spam comments are gone, some of them (just a little) are able to avoid spam filters.



There is something need to be fixed and I'm already posted in support forum. I hope that it will be fixed soon.


Very good spam filter plugin.


Works quite well without calling out to a remote service, and doesn't require your visitors to be using JavaScript. (Seriously, I posted a test comment using Dillo and it showed up in the moderation queue!) No need to deal with API keys or licensing.



There are some optional tactics that will call a remote service for things like language identification, but so far it's doing the job fine without them!



The only problem I've had with it is that it only acts on comments, not on other features like contact forms.


Privacy-friendly spam filter

Sophisticated antispam plugin for effective daily comment and trackback spam-fighting. Built with data protection and privacy in mind.

<p>Tired of spammy SEO pitches, fake marketing offers, and bot submissions flooding your Elementor Pro forms? By filtering only the message field, you can eliminate up to 95% spam submissions.</p>
<p><strong>Spam Filter For Elementor Form</strong> do that and gives you the control you need to stop them, without relying on external services.</p>
<p>This plugin filters the input field of your forms to block submissions containing unwanted words, suspicious URLs, or emails from unauthorized domains. You can block all URLs except those from your domain or specific domains you allow. If someone tries to submit a form with a disallowed link, they’ll see a clear error message asking them to remove it.</p>
<p>Here’s the beauty of it: real visitors who want to share something useful will usually say, “I have a link to share, can you contact me so I can send it?” Spam bots, on the other hand, just drop links and hit submit. That’s where this filter stops them.</p>
<p>Whether you want to block certain phrases, links, or reject emails from shady domains, this plugin lets you do it easily, right from the WordPress dashboard.</p>
<h3>Features:</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Enable or disable filtering for specific or all Elementor Pro forms.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Block messages that contain specific words or patterns.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Reject any submission containing links—except those from allowed domains.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Block or allow email addresses based on domain (whitelist or blocklist mode).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Custom error messages shown directly inside the form.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>No third-party services or APIs—fully local and lightweight.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Built exclusively for Elementor Pro forms.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Perfect for any site owner who’s fed up with form spam and wants a simple, effective way to stop it.</p>

<p><strong>Target the Right Form:</strong><br />
