Maspik – Ultimate Spam Protection

The plugin comes with smart pre-configured protection that works immediately. You can start blocking spam right away, without any technical configuration.
If you need more advanced settings, please see the documentation.
How effective is Maspik at blocking spam?
Maspik uses multiple detection methods including smart pattern recognition, honeypot fields, advanced key checks, and blacklist systems to achieve a 95%+ success rate in blocking spam.

Unlike traditional CAPTCHA solutions, Maspik works silently in the background and does not disrupt your real users.
What is the AI spam check?
By default, the AI Spam Check feature is disabled in Maspik.

When enabled, it analyzes each form submission using leading AI models — Google Gemini, OpenAI, and Mistral AI — to estimate how likely the message is to be spam.

The AI decision is not 100% perfect.
To make the system stricter or more permissive, you can:

Adjust the spam threshold
Add custom context to help the AI understand your intent

For example, you can add context like:

"Be very strict with any message that sounds like a sales pitch."
"Accept only messages written in English."
"Treat repeated keywords or links as spam."

You can configure AI spam check in the Maspik → AI Spam Check settings page.
Will Maspik affect my site's performance?
No. Maspik is designed for optimal performance, using primarily server-side processing.
All spam checking is done efficiently and does not significantly affect your front-end page load times.
What customization options are available?
You can customize:

Text blacklists
Email patterns
Character limits
Link restrictions
IP blocking rules
Country-based filtering (Pro)
Language-based filtering (Pro)

Each field type can have its own specific settings, allowing you to create the perfect balance between strictness and usability.

How does Maspik compare to other anti-spam plugins?
Plugins like Akismet or CleanTalk require external API configuration, monthly subscriptions, and can be complex to set up.

Maspik offers a self-hosted solution that:

Works out of the box
Runs most checks inside WordPress
Has no mandatory external dependencies
Has no required recurring fees for core spam protection

Antispam Bee is a great plugin but is focused mainly on comments and has a more limited feature set.

If you need advanced spam protection that:

Works with all your forms
Provides detailed logs and statistics
Offers advanced controls (AI, IP, blacklist, country/language in Pro)

Then Maspik is an excellent choice for your WordPress spam protection.
