My own website was constantly under attack by bots and spammers. The captcha helped a bit, but sometimes I’d still receive manual spam from real users. Plus, I didn't like how CAPTCHA made my forms look cluttered. After a long search for an effective spam solution, I finally found the answer! Now, I want to share this service with you.
Their PHP Universal Anti-Spam module provides a simple yet effective way to protect your website from both bot and human-generated spam without relying on CAPTCHA. This solution integrates with the premium CleanTalk Cloud Anti-Spam service.
How Does It Work?
- A visitor writes a comment or registers on your site.
- The CleanTalk plugin sends the action parameters to the CleanTalk cloud for analysis.
- The service evaluates the parameters and, if it’s a real visitor, the comment gets published. If it’s a spam bot, CleanTalk blocks the comment or registration.
- All actions are logged, and you can review them through the CleanTalk Dashboard.
Why is CleanTalk the Best Anti-Spam Solution for Websites?
