WP Armour – Honeypot Anti Spam

I needed something that would block Contact Form 7 spam only, other plugins interfered with the AJAX of my site, but this does exactly what it needs to without interfering.

Blocks plenty of spam

Thanks a lot !


Adding WP Armor helped me reduce spam on several sites.


Finally a reliable solution


I used to be bombarded with spam until I installed this plugin, and for over a month now, I haven't received any spam at all. It's like magic!


It works perfectly!


Перепробовал много подобных плагинов - этот лучший. Прост и надёжен! Работает по принципу: становил и забыл про спам


Лучший плагин антиспама!


It does the job properly. After installing, I have not had any spam submissions again.



I'm recommending it to all my clients with content heavy websites.


SImply Awesome.


Does not work with Contact Form 7 despite what it claims.Even after changing the field name, I receive spams in a minute...


Does not work at all


Sono rimasto estremamente soddisfatto dall'utilizzo di WP Armour - Honeypot Anti Spam sul mio sito. Questo plugin è una vera e propria scelta vincente per contrastare lo spam in modo efficace e discreto. La sua integrazione semplice e veloce e la configurazione intuitiva lo rendono adatto a utenti di tutti i livelli di competenza. Con WP Armour, non solo ho eliminato completamente gli fastidiosi spam dai miei moduli di contatto, ma ho anche notato un significativo miglioramento nelle prestazioni del mio sito, grazie alla riduzione del carico di lavoro causato dalla gestione dello spam. Consiglio vivamente WP Armour a tutti coloro che cercano una soluzione affidabile e efficiente per proteggere il proprio sito WordPress dall'invadenza dello spam.

Really good job! 👏


I'm impressed!

Works!


Our MC4WP forms started getting inundated with bot spam overnight. I quickly found and setup WP Armour and it immediately got to work. It's been about ten minutes since I installed it and it's already blocked 41 submissions for us.



Note: I upgraded to the Pro version for MC4WP integration.


Saved us during an attack


I'm using this plugin on all my clients' websites and it has been working great.


Great plugin, highly recommended


Today I visited the dashboard from one of my client's website and noticed this message:Hey, WP Armour has blocked 22869 spam submissions till date...Great work, this is the result from that last few month. 



I'm using WP Armour on ±100 websites and it's a great plugin to protect forms from Elementor Pro, CF7 my own plugins, WooCommerce and many more. 



Well done Dinesh!


Still a happy user after more than 3 years!
