WP Armour Extended - Honeypot Anti Spam

Spam on contact forms, checkout pages and registration forms wastes time and clutters your inbox. CAPTCHAs can stop some of it, but they add steps for the people you actually want to hear from. This plugin takes a different route. It places hidden fields in your forms that bots tend to fill out and human visitors never see.

When a submission arrives with the hidden field filled in, the plugin treats it as spam and blocks it. It works with popular contact forms, WooCommerce checkout, user registration and many other WordPress forms. You can adjust the honeypot fields and settings to suit your site, and a log of blocked attempts lets you see what is being stopped.

Features

• Invisible honeypot technique: Hidden form fields trap automated bots quietly. Real visitors never see them, so your forms stay short and simple for the people who use them.
• No CAPTCHA challenges: Visitors do not have to solve puzzles or tick verification boxes, which keeps forms easier to complete and less frustrating for genuine users.
• Works with popular forms: Protection covers common WordPress contact forms, WooCommerce checkout and user registration forms, along with many other forms on your site.
• Customizable honeypot settings: You can tailor the honeypot fields and settings to match the needs of your own website and the forms you run on it.
• Detailed spam blocking logs: Review the spam attempts the plugin has blocked, so you can look at trends and judge how much unwanted traffic your forms receive.
• Keyword based spam detection: The plugin includes keyword based detection, which helps catch unwanted submissions by the words they contain, alongside the honeypot method.
• Lightweight operation: The plugin is described as light on resources, so it adds spam protection without placing a heavy load on your site.
• Simple setup: Configuration is straightforward, with clear instructions that make it approachable for users of all technical levels.

• WooCommerce stores troubled by fake checkout submissions
