Hello

Are you able to help please?

I’m receiving very many spam messages from my contact page but I’m not sure how the “antispam” feature is supposed to work, is this incorrectly configured and if so, how can I fix it please?

<!– .contact-form –>
<div class=”contact-form”>

<form id=”contact-form” class=”validate-form” method=”post” action=”send-mail.php”>

<!– enter mail subject here –>
<input type=”hidden” name=”subject” id=”subject” value=”from the bigcheese website…”>

<p>
<label for=”name”>PLEASE ENTER YOUR NAME</label>
<input type=”text” name=”name” id=”name” class=”required”>
</p>

<p>
<label for=”email”>YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS</label>
<input type=”text” name=”email” id=”email” class=”required email”>
</p>

<p class=”antispam”>Leave this empty if you are a human :
<br /><input name=”url” />
</p>

<p>
<label for=”message”>YOUR MESSAGE</label>
<textarea name=”message” id=”message” class=”required”></textarea>
</p>

<p>
<button class=”submit button”><span class=”submit-label”>Submit</span><span class=”submit-status”></span></button>
</p>

</form>

</div>
<!– .contact-form –>

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out about the spam issue. I can see you have a basic “honeypot” antispam field (the empty url field), but it might not be enough to stop more sophisticated spam bots. Here’s how to improve it:

Add Google reCAPTCHA v3 (invisible) for far better protection. It’s free and easy.

Akismet or Antispam Plugins
Plugins like Akismet or “CleanTalk” can filter spam automatically.

Thanks
