It blocks spam before it reaches your database, eliminating the need for manual moderation while maintaining full compatibility with your theme and existing comment system.
Key Features:
<ul>

<li>Submission Control: Granular control over comment submission methods (Form, REST API, XML-RPC)</li>
<li>Force URL Clearing: Ensures all author URLs are cleared on submission, regardless of input method</li>
<li>Statistics Dashboard: Real-time tracking of blocked spam comments with visual dashboard widget</li>

<li>Optional Branding Badge: Customizable “Protected by Comments Firewall” badge for your site</li>
<li>Theme Compatible: Works with any theme using standard WordPress comment hooks</li>
<li>Lightweight & Secure: Zero performance impact with admin-only security controls</li>
</ul>
How It Works:
The plugin operates on multiple levels to ensure comprehensive spam protection:
<ol>
<li>Form Level: Removes website fields from comment forms via WordPress hooks</li>
<li>Validation Level: Blocks submissions containing HTTP/HTTPS patterns before they’re saved</li>
<li>Method Level: Controls which submission methods (form, API, XML-RPC) are allowed</li>
</ol>
Perfect For:
<ul>
<li>Site owners experiencing backlink spam in comments</li>
<li>Site owners wanting to avoid the hassle of manually managing spam comments</li>
<li>Sites that want to maintain existing comments while preventing new spam</li>

</ul>
The plugin maintains full backward compatibility and won’t disrupt your existing comment workflow or database structure.
