<p>Block comment spam (up to 98% of it !) by inserting a question and answer field on your comment forms.  No more wasting your time emptying out pages of spam messages just to get to the real comments from real visitors!</p>
<p>You can create your own simple question, like “What is 1 plus 1?” and the commenter must supply an answer on the comment form.  If the commenter can’t answer the question correctly, this great little plugin blocks the comment from getting into your website.</p>
<p>Thanks to Andrew Kurtis and his team at Web Hosting Hub for translating this plugin into Spanish!</p>
<p>With the recently added blocked-spam counter, we collected data on our test site that blocked 798 spam comments and allowed only 14 through – a 98% success rate!</p>


Comment Gatekeeper

Block spam comments by adding a simple question and answer field to your comment forms.

OOPSpam Anti-Spam: Spam Protection for WordPress Forms & Comments (No CAPTCHA)

This is a great plugin with a very responsive and knowledgable support team.

I emailed them yesterday with a kind of obscure WooCommerce feature request and they had a fix deployed within 12 hours.

Yes, it's a paid service if your site has any kind of volume at all, but it's extremely effective and fully built for privacy and GDPR compliant. We're trying to de-G00glify everything for our clients so their websites are not tracking users every move and implementing this service is part of our (slow and tedious) move in that direction. 

Pricing is perfect for agencies as they do tiers by actual # of API calls and no limit on the number of sites you can install this on. Most competitors we were looking at had per-site license structures that were not going to work for us.

Works well for default comment fields, WPForms and WooCommerce. Has some other integrations but those are the ones we tried.

If you have any doubts, just go back into your logs of spam that slipped through reCAPTCHA and Akismet and a honeypot... pick a message and enter the data on the app.oopspam.com dashboard you can edit the test data right there and it will show you what spam score their system would give that message.

Great Service
