<p>MentoGuard protects your WordPress forms from spam bots using behavioral analysis and server-side token verification — completely GDPR-compliant with no data sent to Google or any third party.</p>
<p>Currently supports <strong>Contact Form 7</strong>, with more form builders coming in future releases.</p>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p>MentoGuard uses three independent protection layers:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Signed token</strong> — every form load generates a one-time server-side token. Bots submitting without loading the page are instantly blocked.</li>
<li><strong>Page time check</strong> — measures time between page load and submission entirely server-side. Bots submit in milliseconds; real users take seconds.</li>
<li><strong>Behavioral score</strong> — JavaScript tracks how the visitor interacts with the form (timing, mouse movement, keyboard vs paste, field order) and assigns a spam score.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>GDPR compliant — zero external servers, zero Google, zero third parties</li>
<li>Contact Form 7 native tag support — place [mentoguard] inside your CF7 form editor</li>
<li>Scripts load only on pages with active forms — zero SEO or page speed impact on other pages</li>
<li>Spam log dashboard — see every blocked submission with IP, score, and signals</li>
<li>Top Spammers page — aggregate view of worst offenders with one-click blacklisting</li>
<li>IP Blacklist — manually block IPs or CIDR ranges</li>
<li>Test Mode — see live spam scores without blocking anyone</li>
<li>Debug Log — step-by-step validation log for diagnosing issues</li>
<li>Preset modes — Relaxed, Balanced, Strict</li>
<li>Page time protection — configurable minimum time in seconds or milliseconds</li>
<li>Fully adjustable — enable/disable each signal, adjust point values</li>
<li>No tracking, no upsells, no phone-home</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
<p>MentoGuard reads your local WordPress database only. It logs the IP address and behavioral score of blocked submissions. No data is sent to any external server at any time.</p>
<h4>Usage with Contact Form 7</h4>
<p>Add [mentoguard] inside your CF7 form editor, before the submit button:</p>
<p>[text* your-name]<br />
[email* your-email]<br />
[mentoguard]<br />
[submit “Send”]</p>
