Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about SilentShield – Captcha & Anti-Spam for WordPress (CF7, WPForms, Elementor, WooCommerce)
Not all, but it drastically reduces it. SilentShield combines multiple detection layers (captcha, honeypot, IP blocking, JavaScript detection, timer, content rules) for maximum coverage.
Yes – no cookies, no tracking, only anonymized data. IPs are stored encrypted for max 2 months (only for spam defense). See the Privacy section below.
No. Everything is managed via WordPress Dashboard.
Yes. SilentShield automatically injects JavaScript protection timestamps into PayPal checkout requests. Both PayPal Standard Buttons and Card Fields are supported.
Yes. Choose from 3 built-in templates, customize the label and placeholder text, and select a reload icon color (black/white). Developers can further customize the output via filters.
Yes. Every protection mechanism (captcha, timer, JavaScript, browser, IP, rules, etc.) can be individually enabled or disabled.
Under Settings > Extended > Whitelist, enable "Whitelist Admin Users" and/or "Whitelist Logged-In Users". You can also whitelist specific emails and IPs.
SilentShield includes optional anonymous telemetry (opt-out). This helps us understand which features are used, so we can improve usability and remove unused complexity. We are a small independent team – we don't earn money with this plugin, and we don't sell or share data. Telemetry is used only for optimization and maintenance purposes.
See the docs/ directory in the plugin folder for complete documentation of all settings, hooks, REST API, and developer reference.
