Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Honeypot Anti-Spam
Yes, it is very effective against spam bots, although it does NOT work against manual spam. In any case, in 99.99% of cases spam is sent automatically by bots.
Yes. There is no CAPTCHA, no math question and nothing for your visitors to solve. The protection is a hidden field that only spam bots interact with, so the experience for real users is completely transparent.
No. The system is completely automatic and does not affect the normal operation of WordPress: it is transparent and extremely lightweight. In very rare cases a plugin may conflict with the JavaScript used to insert the honeypot field, but this happens very rarely.
Yes. The honeypot field is handled with client-side JavaScript, so it works fine alongside full-page caching plugins.
No. Honeypot Anti-Spam does not track visitors and does not send any data to external services. Everything happens on your own site.
No, Honeypot Anti-Spam is not compatible with comment systems other than the native WordPress one.
