Effective Spam Protection for WordPress Comments
Anti-spam Reloaded is a WordPress plugin designed to effectively block 100% of automated spam comments and trackbacks without requiring any CAPTCHA. This plugin is a fork of the successful Anti-spam plugin v5.5, now maintained by kudlav from version 5.6. The installation process is straightforward, making it an accessible choice for users looking to enhance their site's comment section. Users can manage blocked comments through a spam area, allowing for conversion to regular comments if necessary. Additionally, the plugin adheres to GDPR compliance by not storing any user data beyond the spam blocking functionality.
The plugin employs a dual-method algorithm for spam detection, utilizing both 'invisible js-captcha' and 'invisible input trap' techniques to distinguish between legitimate users and spam bots. It is compatible with a range of WordPress versions from 3.3 to 6.5 and PHP versions from 5.6 to 8.2. However, it does not support certain plugins like Disqus and Jetpack Comments. Anti-spam Reloaded is designed to work even with JavaScript disabled, ensuring a robust solution for maintaining clean comment sections.
