Web Ok Honeypot Lite adds a simple, effective honeypot field to your Contact Form 7 forms. It catches spam bots by adding a hidden field that real users never see — but bots fill it in automatically, revealing themselves as spam.
Why this plugin?
<ul>
<li>Zero configuration — no settings page, no database writes. Just add the tag and go.</li>
<li>Lightweight — under 10KB total. No bloat, no upsells, no bundled features you don’t need.</li>
<li>Silent success — bots see a fake “message sent” response, so they never learn to adapt.</li>
<li>Drop-in replacement — uses the same <code>[honeypot]</code> tag as other CF7 honeypot plugins. Switch without editing your forms.</li>
<li>Works great alongside Turnstile/reCAPTCHA — honeypots catch dumb bots, CAPTCHAs catch smart ones.</li>
</ul>
How it works:
<ol>
<li>Add <code>[honeypot your-field-name]</code> anywhere in your CF7 form template.</li>
<li>The plugin renders a hidden text input that’s invisible to humans.</li>
<li>Spam bots auto-fill every field they find, including the honeypot.</li>
<li>If the honeypot has a value on submission, the form is silently rejected.</li>
</ol>
