- In addition to adding Akismet adding a honeypot field can greatly reduce spam by bots filling in invisible fields that prevent them from being able to submit the form. This is because the honeypot field does a check that if the field is filled out then don't submit the data. Furthermore, honeypot fields don't show to your regular users meaning it will never affect their submissions.

Thanks a lot!
Thank you! Very informative. I love how well you explain the background to this.
Great tutorial and explanations!
Great Job - really explained how this works.
Thank you for watching
Perfectly explained....thanks mille fois
great tutorial on a subject that isn't too easy to understand
Thank you!
The one thing i'm concerend about this plugin is in the source code the honeypot field is classed as honeypot - thats a dead give away where spammers can easily program their scripts to avoid classes with keywords as honeypot
Hi! What is better in your opinion: Litespeed OR Cache Enabler + Autooptimize + Lazy Load plugin.
You usually recommend Cache Enabler in your optimization guide. Do you think it is best free cache solution?
If you're on a litespeed server you might as well use Litespeed cache. However, if you're not you can use autoptimize + cache enabler + lazy load. Or if you're willing to pay and aren't on litespeed I highly recommend wp rocket.
@@SERTMedia My hosting uses Lightspeed servers. I'm not ready to pay for WP Rocket. For free I can choose from Lightspeed and a set of free plugins.
As a result. If I have the option, it’s better to use Lightspeed, right?
Nice👌
Thanks 😊
Hi Scott, I have a contact 7 form on our website and the business email is listed. I’m receiving what appears to be bot emails via the contact form. We don’t have any blog comments. Would this plugin be the most appropriate one to use? Thanks
Yes you can try this and also add akismet to further reduce spam. Or if you don't mind the performance hit there is always recaptcha
@@SERTMedia I would also add that for a non tech person like me, I (and some of you may laugh at this), I had Akismet installed, had honey pot installed but... I had not inserted the necessary fields into the actual Contact Form 7 fields! I also had not placed the disallowed words into the Settings/Discussion field because it looked like that was only for comments (with Contact Form 7 it will include these disallowed words and ip addresses for not only comments but also your contact form). Additionally, on my actual contact form page, I had customized the language on that page, not on the form so the site wasn't even including the add on protections I had installed (one needs to use the contact form page provided code to the contact form website page, and nothing else). Testing the contact form before and after these changes is so satisfying, to see the form properly refuse inappropriate emails. I've learned so much today. Thank you so much for your videos. Phew!
Great tutorial but youre a bit repetitive when you explain certain things
You give more importance to the room than to the speaker: lit room, dark face. I'd better hide the corner webcam.
too laggy
very much talking
