Plugin Of The Week: Anti-Spam

There’s few things in this world more annoying than spam.

No, I’m not talking about the meat in a can – I’m talking about nasty people who set out to cause you and your website all kinds of trouble.
Spam can come in all different forms and can cause some serious issues for your site – not to mention a fair amount of personal irritation. But don’t fear….

Anti-Spam by Clean Talk is a ferocious spam destroyer! Here’s why we think it’s an awesome anti-spam plugin for WordPress:

Lean Mean Spam Fighting Machine

Anti-Spam fights spam an all fronts, these include:

No nonsense

Anti-Spam doesn’t punish your friendly users with annoying spam detection devices.
There are no CAPTCHAs; no questions; no spam bots; nothing to ruin the experience of your site for the majority.

In-fact they won’t know it’s there at all!

Spam FireWall

Spam FireWall is an advanced feature provided by Anti-Spam that prevents the most active spam bots from accessing your page before they can do any damage.

How it works:

  1. Someone attempts to view your website.
  2. Before they are granted access Anti-Spam steps in to check their HTTP request data for the millions of known spam bots.
  3. If there is a spam bot present the person gets a blank page; if there isn’t a spam bot then the user is free to carry on to your site.

User friendly

Anti-Spam is the go to plugin when it comes to protecting your WordPress site from spam. To find out more and to download the plugin, click here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/cleantalk-spam-protect/
