</ul>
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
<ol>
<li>The plugin removes the comment form action URL from raw HTML output.</li>
<li>When real user interaction is detected (scroll, mouse move, touch, or focus), JavaScript restores the action URL with a unique hash token.</li>
<li>On submit, the server validates the hash token, checks the honeypot field, and verifies submission timing.</li>
<li>If any check fails, the request is blocked with a 403 response before spam can reach your database.</li>
</ol>

Forget Spam Comment


This is the best ultra-simple (and free) way to stop comment spam, thanks to the method it uses. Alternative effective solutions are more complicated and involve webserver configuration or WAF and CAPTCHA services. Other plugins simply fail to address the root cause of comment spam. This is the one to use.
