MP Spam Be Gone is the simplest, most effective Spam blocker without difficult CAPTCHA responses needed by the user. This plugin was inspired by some of the best Anti-Spam plugins available on WordPress.
Inspirations: 
Spam Free WordPress by Todd Lahman, LLC 
Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin by Andy Bailey 
Simple Trackback Validation with Topsy Blocker by Tobias Koelligan
This plugin has aspects from all of the above mentioned plugins to form the most complete and dead simple Anti Spam plugin on WordPress. This plugin doesn’t write anything to your database while preventing comment spam and trackback spam.
From Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin, I used the concept of having a checkbox display to the user in order to prevent automated Spam. To me this is the best way (and least intrusive) to completely prevent automated spam from ever even being written to the database in the spam que. It is physically impossible to get a false positive, since you either checked the button or not. The flaw with this plugin is that it does not work with Javascript disabled.
To combat that flaw, I use the copy and paste password fields from the Spam Free WordPress plugin. These fields are in a <code><noscript></code> tag, and only appear if Javascript is disabled. Unlike, the Spam Free WordPress plugin, these passwords are generated on the fly and never stored in the database.
These plugins primarily stop comment spam. In order to stop trackback spam, I added the IP address check, URL check, and Topsy check functions from Simple Trackback Validation with Topsy Blocker. If a trackback is identified as spam because of the IP address or Topsy, it is deleted and never written to the database. If a trackback is identified as spam because of the URL, it is marked as spam and sent to the Spam que. The reason that these are not automatically deleted, is because it is possible that the referring page is using a shortlink and therefore the full URL would not appear on the page in the first place.
When combined, this plugin will stop all automated spam and trackbacks.
It is intended to replace the above plugins.
You can’t find a plugin simpler than this – set it and forget it. No options = no modifications to the database.

Is Contact Form 7 spam destroying your mornings?
Every day, the same nightmare: dozens of fake submissions, worried you’ll miss real customers, and other plugins want $60/year just for basic protection.
This free plugin ends that nightmare today.
<h4>What Gets Protected (FREE)</h4>
✅ Contact Form 7 – Block bot spam automatically 
✅ WPForms Lite & Pro – Stop automated submissions 
✅ Jetpack Contact Forms – Filter bot spam instantly 
✅ Fluent Forms – Eliminate bot attacks 
✅ SureForms – Block bot spam submissions

<h4>How It Works</h4>
3 Steps to Spam-Free Contact Forms:
<ol>
<li>Install – Search “Contact Form 7 spam” in your WordPress dashboard</li>
<li>Activate – One click to turn on protection</li>
<li>Relax – Your Contact Form 7 and WPForms and others are now protected from bots</li>
</ol>
The moment you activate, spam bots are automatically blocked on all your forms and comments. No settings to configure. No technical knowledge required. No ongoing maintenance.
Most users report 95-100% spam reduction within the first 24 hours.
Tomorrow morning, check your inbox. Instead of dozens of spam submissions, you’ll see only real customer inquiries. That’s the peace of mind this plugin delivers.
<h4>Why Contact Form 7 Needs This</h4>
Contact Form 7 is WordPress’s most popular form plugin with over 5 million active installations. It’s lightweight, flexible, and completely free.
But it doesn’t include spam protection.
Without protection, Contact Form 7 sites get hammered. Bot networks discover unprotected forms and flood them with submissions. Your inbox fills with junk. You waste time sorting real inquiries from spam. Worse, you risk missing legitimate customers buried in the noise.
This plugin fixes that problem. For free. Forever.
<h4>Free vs Pro: What You Get</h4>
FREE Version (Most Sites Need Only This): 
✅ Contact Form 7 bot spam blocked 
✅ WPForms automated spam stopped 
✅ Jetpack forms protected 
✅ Fluent Forms secured 
✅ SureForms protected 
✅ WordPress comment spam eliminated 
✅ Works on business/commercial sites 
✅ Spam statistics dashboard
Automated bots cause 95%+ of spam. The free version handles this completely.
PRO Version (For Advanced Needs): 
⚡ AI-powered human spam detection 
⚡ Gravity Forms integration 
⚡ WooCommerce registration protection 
⚡ Email quarantine for review 
⚡ Custom IP blocklists 
⚡ Allow/deny pattern rules 
⚡ Priority support
Most Contact Form 7 users never need Pro. But if you’re getting manually-typed spam or need enterprise features, Pro has you covered.
<h4>Why This Works Better Than CAPTCHA</h4>
CAPTCHA makes your visitors prove they’re human by solving puzzles. It’s annoying, hurts conversions, and still lets some spam through.
This plugin takes a smarter approach:
<ul>
<li>Invisible honeypot fields – Bots can’t resist filling hidden fields that humans never see</li>
<li>Timing analysis – Bots submit forms instantly; real people don’t</li>
<li>Behavioral fingerprinting – Bot patterns are detectable and consistent</li>
<li>No user friction – Your visitors never know the protection exists</li>
<li>Lightning fast – All processing happens locally on your server</li>
</ul>
Your Contact Form 7 stays fast. Your conversion rates stay high. Spam disappears.
It just works. Quietly. Effectively. Completely free.
<h4>Common Questions Answered</h4>
“Will this work with my existing Contact Form 7 setup?” 
Yes. It integrates automatically with all CF7 configurations, custom fields, and extensions. Nothing breaks. Spam just stops.
“I’m not technical. Can I install this?” 
If you can install a WordPress plugin, you can use this. There’s literally nothing to configure. Install, activate, done.
“What about sites that aren’t in English?” 
Works perfectly on all languages. The spam detection doesn’t depend on language – it detects bot behavior patterns.
“My site sells products. Do I have to pay?” 
No. Unlike some popular anti-spam solutions that charge business sites, this is free for commercial use. No exceptions. No hidden fees.
