Description

The fastest and GDPR compliant Anti-Spam plugin to prevent bot spam in the Default Commenting System of WordPress.

  • Please clear page cache after plugin activation.
  • Only for default commenting system. Not for AMP.

Features

  • 100% GDPR Compliant.
  • Captcha-Free solution.
  • Requires no settings.
  • Automatic. No need of false-positive comment moderation.
  • Compatible with all page caching and performance optimization plugins.
  • Fastest ever. A tiny inline JavaScript in just ~200 bytes does all magic.

How does it work?

To prevent spam comments plugin blocks the default action path (wp-comments-post.php) for bots and make it accessible over unique hash query string when a visitor scroll to leave a comment. This way it prevents automated spam comment done by bots.
