Description
The best spam protection plugin. Block spam using advanced filters, blacklists, and IP verification – works with all major form plugins and comments.
Say Goodbye to Spam with Maspik!
Maspik uses a highly efficient “blacklist” method that surpasses traditional CAPTCHA services like Google’s in both efficiency and accuracy, with a success rate of over 95%.
With Maspik, you have the power to define what is considered spam by adding phrases to your blacklist. Fast and precise blocking of spam submissions takes as little as 2 minutes to set up.

Where do I set this up?

Will MASPIK slow down my site?

No.
I developed this plugin using high-quality server-side code and avoided using CSS/JS to ensure optimal website performance as CSS/JS running in the front-end can slow down websites. -
