Why Site Owners Choose SpamJam
🚫 Less Spam to Moderate – Catch automated submissions before they clutter your comment queue. 👤 No Friction for Real People – Visitors can comment without image grids, challenges, or extra verification steps. ⚡ Protected from Activation – Core comment protection is enabled by default, with sensible settings already in place. 🧠 Fewer False Positives – Multiple signals work together; suspicious edge cases can be held for review instead of being discarded. 🩶 Lightweight by Design – Focused checks run where they are needed, without loading a heavy front-end framework. 🔒 Privacy-Conscious Detection – Core comment analysis runs on your WordPress site rather than sending comment content to a remote spam-scoring service.
Free Comment Protection
The free version gives blogs, publishers, and WooCommerce stores a strong first line of defense:
- Per-site salted honeypot – An invisible, site-specific trap makes generic bot scripts easier to identify.
- Submission timing check – Detects forms submitted faster than a person could reasonably complete them.
- Weighted spam scoring – Combines form, timing, token, and referrer signals instead of relying on one fragile test.
- Safer moderation path – Suspicious submissions below the blocking threshold can be held for review.
- Secure form validation – Nonces and time-boxed HMAC tokens help verify legitimate comment submissions.
- Built-in keyword blocklist – Stops common comment-spam patterns.
- WooCommerce product reviews – Protects review forms and declares compatibility with WooCommerce HPOS.
- No-JavaScript fallback – Visitors with JavaScript disabled are not automatically hard-blocked.
- Dashboard statistics – See the protection working from your WordPress admin.
No account or API key is required to start protecting comments.
