Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Spam Protection | Maspik

No. Maspik works immediately after activation with sensible defaults. Everything is configurable if you want to fine-tune it.

Maspik supports the most popular form builders out of the box (see the list above) as well as WordPress comments and registration. Active integrations are detected automatically and listed on the Dashboard.

No. Core protection runs locally with no keys. Optional services such as AbuseIPDB or ProxyCheck use your own key if you choose to enable them.

Open the Logs screen, find the submission, and choose Mark as Not Spam. The sender is added to your allow list and won't be blocked again. You can also remove the specific rule that caused the block directly from the log entry.

No. Most checks run locally in PHP, only enabled layers execute, and there is no front-end JavaScript beyond the small guard script used by the honeypot and verification key.

Yes. Protection runs on submission, not on page render, so cached pages are unaffected.

Yes. Settings, logs, your license and your Dashboard connection all carry over automatically on update — no reconfiguration needed.
