Spam can get out of control fast. I learned that the hard way.
My business site and even client projects started getting flooded with spam. No matter what I tried, the comments just kept coming.
Worse, my contact forms were filled with fake messages. It got so bad that spam bots were actually slowing down my websites.
If you run a WordPress site, you’ve probably dealt with this, too.
Like me, maybe you tried handling it manually. But let’s be honest. Those tricks don’t cut it anymore.
So I went looking for a better solution.
Over the past few months, I tested a bunch of anti-spam plugins to find out what really works.
