    The best anti-spam protection to block spam comments and spam in a contact form. The most trusted antispam solution for WordPress and WooCommerce.

    Akismet checks your comments and contact form submissions against our global database of spam to prevent your site from publishing malicious content. You can review the comment spam it catches on your blog’s “Comments” admin screen.

    Major features in Akismet include:

    • Automatically checks all comments and filters out the ones that look like spam.
    • Each comment has a status history, so you can easily see which comments were caught or cleared by Akismet and which were spammed or unspammed by a moderator.
    • URLs are shown in the comment body to reveal hidden or misleading links.
    • Moderators can see the number of approved comments for each user.
    • A discard feature that outright blocks the worst spam, saving you disk space and speeding up your site.

    PS: You’ll be prompted to get an Akismet.com API key to use it, once activated. Keys are free for personal blogs; paid subscriptions are available for businesses and commercial sites.

    I know you have heard of a number of anti-spam plugins. But you must know, the cloud-based ones are the best regarding detection rate. They compare all the content in forms with their own algorithm to find out the legibility.

Speed is becoming increasingly important in SEO, conversion and user experience. Today, site speed is one of the most important ranking factors on Google. A site that loads slowly will lose visitors and potential revenue.

    the plugin so that AntiSpam by CleanTalk is faster than most analogs. This contributes to the cloud service architecture, as all calculations take place in the cloud, not on the server, the server receives the finished result for further action.

    Unlike stand-alone plugins (WP Armour, Antispam Bee, WP Cerber) Anti-Spam by CleanTalk uses less CPU that improves site response, visitors experience and SEO results.

    Spam FireWall

    Spam FireWall allows blocking the most active spam bots before they get access to your website. It prevents spam bots from loading website pages so your web server doesn’t have to perform all scripts on these pages. Also it prevents scanning of pages of the website by spam bots. Therefore Spam FireWall significantly reduces the load on your web server. Spam FireWall also makes CleanTalk the two-step protection from spam bots. Spam FireWall is the first step and it blocks the most active spam bots. CleanTalk Anti-Spam is the second step and checks all other requests on the website in the moment of submitting comments/registers etc.

    How does Spam FireWall work?

    • The visitor enters to your web site.
    • HTTP request data are being checked in the nearly 5.8 million of the identified spam bot IPs.
    • If it is an active spam bot, the bot gets a blank page, if it is a visitor then he receives a normal page. This process is completely transparent for the visitors.

    All the CleanTalk Spam FireWall activity is being logged in the process of filtering.

    Spam FireWall: Anti-Flood & Anti-Crawler

    Spam FireWall: Anti-Flood and Anti-Crawler options are intended for blocking unwanted bots, content parsing, shop goods prices parsing or aggressive website scanning bots. Learn more https://cleantalk.org/help/anti-flood-and-anti-crawler

    How to protect sites from spam bots without CAPTCHA?

    The most popular anti-spam method is CAPTCHA – the annoying picture with curved and sloping symbols, which are presented to the visitor to decipher and fill in. In is supposed that spam bots won’t discern these CAPTCHA, but a visitor will. CAPTCHA provokes great irritation, but if the visitor wants to comment, he has to fill in these symbols time after time, making mistakes and starting once again. Sometimes CAPTCHA reminds us of the doodles of a two year old child. For users with vision problems CAPTCHA is an insurmountable obstacle. Users hate captcha. Captcha for users means “hate”. Unreadable CAPTCHA stops about 80% of site visitors. After 2 failed attempts to decipher CAPTCHA 95% of visitors reject further attempts. At the sight of CAPTCHA and after input errors, many visitors leave the resource. Thus, CAPTCHA helps to protect the resource spam both from bots and visitors. CAPTCHA is not a panacea from spam. Doubts concerning the Need for CAPTCHA?

    “Ultimately, CAPTCHAs are useless for spam because they’re designed to tell you if someone is ‘human’ or not, but not whether something is spam or not.” Matt Mullenweg

    You do not have to work in IT to know what spam is. Besides piles of unwanted email, there are spam bots, or special software programs designed to act as human website visitors that post unwelcome messages over the Internet to advertise dubious services. More often than not spam messages do not even make sense. Similar to bacteria and virus mutations developing antibiotic resistance, spam bots are becoming more resilient in penetrating Internet firewalls and security layers.

    White Label Mode

    To switch the plugin work in the white-label mode you should set up a few settings on your main site in WordPress Multisite Network:

    1. Check setting “Enable White Label Mode”.
    2. Fill “Hoster API Key” field with key from CleanTalk’s hoster panel.
    3. Fill “Plugin name” field. It could be any name you want for the plugin.
    4. Save settings.

    The plugin will do everything rest.

    Real-time email validation. Is email real or Not.

    It is very important to be sure that the user used his real email address. Spambots very often use fake email addresses, i.e. which addresses do not exist.

    CleanTalk will check email addresses for existence in real time.

    Non-existing email addresses also entail several other problems for website owners.

    • You can never contact them by email,
    • the client will never receive any notifications from you (account activation letter, password recovery, email distribution, notifications, etc.),
    • if you use email marketing for your clients, then a large number of nonexistent emails in the mailing list may result in your IP address being added to various blacklists of email servers.

    Improve your email list with email validation without fake emails.

    Blocking disposable & temporary emails

    Block fake and suspicious users with disposable & temporary emails to improve email delivery. So, it also prevents malicious activity, spam bots, and internet trolls.

    Stops Spam in Search Form

    Spam bots can use your search form to make a GET request with spam text. CleanTalk Anti-Spam has the option to protect your website search form from spam bots. Each time, the search generates a new page and if there are many requests, this can create additional load. So, under some conditions, spam searches can be indexed, which affects SEO,

    • Spam FireWall blocks access to all website pages for the most active spambots. It lowers your web server load and traffic just by doing this.
    • Anti-Spam protection for website search forms repels spambots.
    • If your search form gets data too often the CleanTalk Anti-Spam plugin will add a pause and increase it with each new attempt to send data. It saves your web server processor time.
    • Spam protection allows you to not forbid indexation for the crawler bots if you really need it but simultaneously you will get protection from spambots.

    You will always know what users were looking for on your site.

    Disable comments

    This option disables comments on your site. You can choose one or several options:

    • Disable comments for posts
    • Disable comments for pages
    • Disable comments for media

    When using Disables comments, existing comments will not be deleted and will remain on the pages.

    Email Address Encoder

    CleanTalk Anti-Spam offers a feature called “Encode contact data” that is designed to encode all email addresses on the website pages. Encoding the email addresses increases the level of protection of contact data from being abused, parsed, getting spammed and used in spam mailing lists by bots and online criminals. To reveal the encoded email address simply click on it and it will be decoded instantly.

    Will the anti-spam plugin protect my theme?

    Yes, it will. The Anti-spam by CleanTalk is compatible with any WordPress theme.

    Should I use other anti-spam tools (Captcha, reCaptcha and etc.)?

    CleanTalk stops up to 99.998% of spam bots, so you can disable other anti-spam plugins (especially CAPTCHA-type anti-spam plugins). In some cases several anti-spam plugins could conflict with each other, so it would be better to use just one plugin.

    Can I use CleanTalk with Akismet?

    Sure, you can use CleanTalk with Akismet. In this case you will probably have higher false/positive rate (when legitimate comments/signups are being denied), but you will have stronger anti-spam protection on your website.

    Is CleanTalk better than Akismet?

    How It Works

    Most of the spam hitting your site originates from bots, but quite a bit comes from humans too. This plugin works like a firewall to ensure that your commenters are in fact, human, and that those humans aren’t spamming you.

    Two Layers of Spam Blocking

    There are two layers of leading edge anti-spam protection that work together to block both automated (spambots) and human spam:

    1. The JavaScript/Cookies Anti-Spam Layer
    2. The Algorithmic Anti-Spam Layer

    The first anti-spam layer uses a dynamic combination of JavaScript and cookies to weed out the humans from spambots, preventing 100% of automated spam from ever getting to your site. Even if bot authors could engineer a way to break through the JavaScript/Cookies Anti-Spam Layer, the Algorithmic Anti-Spam Layer would still stop almost all of the spam that the JavaScript Layer blocks, and provides close to a fully redundant backstop. This JavaScript Anti-Spam Layer utilizes multiple randomly generated keys, and is algorithmically enhanced to ensure that spambots won’t beat it. The powerful Algorithmic Anti-Spam Layer consists of over 100 advanced filters, and eliminates trackback spam and most human spam as well. And, it does all that without hindering legitimate comments, trackbacks, contact forms, or registrations.

    No More Wasted Time Sifting Through the Comment Spam Queue

    This type of solution works invisibly in the background, with no inconveniences. You won’t have to waste valuable time sifting through a spam queue any more, because there won’t be anything there.

    WP-SpamShield is different from other anti-spam plugins in that it BLOCKS spam at the front door of your site and doesn’t allow it into the WordPress database at all. Many other anti-spam plugins simply label a comment as spam, leaving you to sort through a spam queue, which wastes your valuable time. WP-SpamShield will give you back your time!

    Improves User-Friendliness of Your Website

    If you want to improve the user-friendliness of your site, this is THE anti-spam plugin you want. After all, why should your users have to prove they are human? Since your users won’t be inconvenienced by outdated and frustrating anti-spam methods, you will provide a smoother, trouble-free experience for your website users, which leads to improved readership, ad revenue, sales, or other types of conversion, and therefore greater success for your website.

    Improves Security

    Not allowing spam into the database improves security by potentially preventing SQL injection, DDoS, and XSS exploit attacks through automated spam comment submissions. WP-SpamShield fixes the security issues inherent to Pingbacks, and prevents Pingback-based DDoS attacks. As part of the Miscellaneous Form Spam Protection, the plugin protects against XML-RPC brute force amplification attacks. The plugin also has several other features that improve security, such as blocking certain potentially dangerous URLs in spam comment submissions, and limiting comment size to 15kb. (15kb of text is roughly the equivalent of 3 typed pages in Microsoft Word, single-spaced, so that’s more than enough for even the longest of comments.) See this blog post for more info.

    Helps Improve Overall Website Performance

    The plugin helps keep your WordPress database slimmer and more efficient (keeping your site running faster in the long term) by not allowing the thousands upon thousands of spam comments into it, which could bloat the database and potentially corrupt it. Keeping your database lean is extremely important, because bloated databases result in much longer query times and increased server load, slowing down a site dramatically even for simple functions. If website performance is important to you, then you definitely want an anti-spam plugin like WP-SpamShield instead of a plugin that uses a spam queue. See this FAQ for more detailed info.

    ZERO False Positives

    It does all this with ZERO false positives, because of the method used to block spam. Notice we didn’t say a “low false positive rate” – we said ZERO false positives. If a comment/contact form/registration gets blocked as spam, the user is given instant feedback and has a chance to correct their comment/contact form/registration/etc and try again, which means there cannot be false positives. This leads to fewer frustrated website visitors, and less work for you. We are committed to keeping the promise of zero false positives.

    100% Pingback/Trackback Validation and Anti-Spam

    The trackback validation contains a filter that compares the client IP address of the incoming trackbacks and pingbacks against the IP address of the server where the link is supposedly coming from. If they don’t come from the same server, then it is guaranteed spam, without fail. This alone eliminates more than 99.99% of trackback & pingback spam. Trackback spammers don’t send spam out from the same server where their clients’ websites reside. There are algorithmic anti-spam filters in place to ensure 100% trackback/pingback spam blocking. You can be confident that only legitimate trackbacks and pingbacks will get through.

    Includes a Spam-Free Contact Form, and Anti-Spam for Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, JetPack Contact Forms, and Most Other Forms

    Includes drop-in spam-free contact form, with easy one-click installation. Easy to use – no configuration necessary, but you can configure it if you like. (See Installation for info.) WP-SpamShield also includes automatic anti-spam protection for Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, JetPack Contact Forms, Fast Secure Contact Forms, Formidable Forms, and more. (You don’t have to do a thing…just add your Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, JetPack Contact Forms, or other forms to your site, and they will automatically be protected.) It will automatically protect most forms on your WordPress site from automated spam, even if they are not listed here.

    WordPress Registration Anti-Spam

    The plugin also includes powerful protection from user registration spam. Once you install WP-SpamShield, you don’t have to worry about bots or spammy users signing up any more. (Note: This protects almost all registration forms, including the WordPress default registration form, and registration forms for bbPress, BuddyPress, WooCommerce, s2Member, WP-Members, and many more. See this FAQ for more info.

    Stops Email Harvesters

    The plugin has a feature to thwart email harvesting bots and keep them from scraping your site for email addresses. (Which helps reduce spam in your email inbox.) The plugin automatically obfuscates plain text email addresses and mailto links in your website content by encoding them into HTML entities (hexadecimal and decimal character codes that look like gibberish to harvesters, but render the email addresses perfectly in a browser). It protects email addresses on pages, posts, comments, excerpts, and text widgets.

    Why Not Just Use a CAPTCHA-Based Anti-Spam Method?

    The concept of using a CAPTCHA as an anti-spam solution in this modern day and age is flawed for several reasons:

    1. It’s an outdated concept that has far outlived its usefulness, and was originally developed before user-friendliness was a high priority.
    2. It goes in the exact opposite direction of user-friendly design principles. Think about it. Users of your website have to type in numbers and letters obscured by squiggly lines and symbols, only to be told they are wrong several times, even after typing in the correct answer. This is proven to hurt website business and revenue because of the negative feelings it causes. People simply don’t like CAPTCHAs.
    3. It is not the user’s responsibility to separate humans from bots, or to stop spam; it’s the web developer’s responsibility. Even if the CAPTCHA is simple, and all the user has to do is click a button, it is still annoying and unnecessary. It’s one extra step that you are putting between your user and their end goal.
    4. CAPTCHAs can be defeated. In fact, bots have been cracking CAPTCHAs since 2008. The only benefit of a CAPTCHA was that it was considered to be unbeatable by bots. That day is long past.
    5. Why use a CAPTCHA when there are better solutions that don’t inconvenience your website users?

    Optimized and Scalable – Won’t Slow Down Your Site

    This plugin has an extremely low overhead and won’t slow down your site, unlike some other anti-spam plugins. Each of the filters in the plugin have been benchmarked, and when processing comments for spam, the fastest filters are put at the front of the stack. Once a comment tests positive for spam, the testing process terminates and will not engage the remaining filters. Additionally, as mentioned above, by keeping spam out of the WordPress database altogether, WP-SpamShield helps keep your database slimmer and more efficient, which in turn helps keep your site running faster. This efficiency helps keep the server load down, and helps improve the overall performance of your site. WP-SpamShield is optimized to work well with all major caching plugins.

    Faster than the Cloud

    Speaking of scalability, WP-SpamShield can kill spam faster than any cloud-based anti-spam solution. Cloud-based anti-spam plugins are inherently slower at processing spam because they have to connect to an external server to check the spam status, which in turn will increase your site’s server load. With WP-SpamShield, all anti-spam processing happens directly on your website’s server, with lightning speed.

    Free for Commercial and Personal Websites

Block specific human spammers by IP, email address, or a number of other options. The Enhanced Comment Blacklist has some improvements over the default WordPress blacklist functionality, and adds a link in the comment & contact form notification emails that will let you blacklist a spammer’s IP with one click. It also provides some advanced custom options for blocking spam on everything else that WP-SpamShield protects.
    11. WP-SpamShield Whitelist option. Allows you to specify certain users who you want to let bypass the antispam filters.
    12. This plugin is legal to use in Germany and the EU, and does not violate European privacy laws. It does not use any type of cloud-based service, spam data is not transmitted from your server to any other server, and all anti-spam processing happens directly on your website’s server.

    WordPress Mail SMTP Plugin

    Having problems with your WordPress site not sending emails? You’re not alone. Over 3 million websites use WP Mail SMTP to send their emails reliably.

    Our goal is to make email deliverability easy and reliable. We want to ensure your emails reach the inbox.

    WP Mail SMTP fixes your email deliverability by reconfiguring WordPress to use a proper SMTP provider when sending emails.

    Best of all, our easy-to-use Setup Wizard and detailed documentation guide you through the process.

    WP Mail SMTP is free and has everything you need to reliably send your WordPress emails!

    WP Mail SMTP Pro unlocks even more powerful features like email logging, advanced email reporting and stats, backup connections, email alerts, smart conditional routing, and much more.

    What is SMTP?

    SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is an industry standard for sending emails. Proper SMTP configuration helps increase email deliverability by using authentication.

    Popular email clients like Gmail, Yahoo, Office 365, and Zoho are in a constant battle with email spammers. One of the things they look at is if an email is originating from the location it claims to be originating from.

    If the proper authentication isn’t there, then emails either go in the SPAM folder or worst, don’t get delivered at all.

    This is a problem for a lot of WordPress sites because by default, WordPress uses the PHP mail function to send emails generated by WordPress or any contact form plugin like WPForms.

    The issue is that most WordPress hosting companies don’t have their servers properly configured for sending PHP emails.

    The combination of two causes your WordPress emails to not get delivered.

    How does WP Mail SMTP work?

    WP Mail SMTP plugin easily resolves email delivery problems by improving and changing how your WordPress site sends email. We reconfigure the wp_mail() function to either use proper SMTP host credentials or leverage a built-in SMTP mail provider.

    When using one of our built-in SMTP mail provider integrations (recommended), emails are sent using the provider’s direct API. This means even if your web host is blocking SMTP ports, your emails still send successfully.

    This helps you fix all WordPress not sending email issues.

    WP Mail SMTP plugin includes many different SMTP setup options:

    1. SendLayer (#1 Recommended)
    2. SMTP.com (Recommended)
    3. Sendinblue SMTP (Recommended)
    4. Mailgun SMTP
    5. SendGrid SMTP
    6. Postmark SMTP
    7. SparkPost SMTP
    8. Gmail SMTP (Gmail, Google Workspace, G Suite)
    9. Microsoft SMTP (Outlook.com and Office 365) [Pro]
    10. Amazon SES SMTP [Pro]
    11. Zoho Mail SMTP [Pro]
    12. All Other SMTP

    For most options, you can specify the “from name” and “email address” for outgoing emails.

    Instead of having users use different SMTP plugins and workflows for different SMTP providers, we decided to bring it all in one. This is what makes WP Mail SMTP, the best SMTP solution for WordPress.

    SendLayer

    SendLayer is our #1 recommended transactional email service.

    Its affordable pricing and simple setup make it the perfect choice for sending emails from WordPress. It also has open and click tracking, email logs, and email list management.
    SendLayer is the best choice if you want a mailer that’s reliable, fast, and easy to set up. You can send hundreds of emails for free when you sign up for a trial.

    Read our SendLayer documentation for more details.

    SMTP.COM

    SMTP.com is a recommended transactional email service.

    With over 22 years of email delivery expertise, SMTP.com has been around for almost as long as email itself. They are known among internet providers as one of the most reliable senders on the internet.

    Their easy integration process lets you start sending emails in minutes and benefit from years of experience. SMTP.com provides users 50,000 free emails the first 30 days.

    Read our SMTP.com documentation for more details.

    Sendinblue SMTP

    Sendinblue is a recommended transactional email service.

    They serve 80,000+ growing companies around the world and send over 30 million emails each day.

    Their email deliverability experts are constantly at work optimizing the reliability and speed of their SMTP infrastructure. Sendinblue provides users 300 free emails per day.

    WP Mail SMTP plugin offers a native integration with MailGun. All you have to do is connect your Mailgun account, and you will improve your email deliverability.

    SendGrid SMTP

    SendGrid has a free SMTP plan that you can use to send up to 100 emails per day. With our native SendGrid SMTP integration, you can easily and securely set up SendGrid SMTP on your WordPress site.

    Read our SendGrid documentation for more details.

    Postmark SMTP

    Read our SparkPost documentation for more details.

    Gmail SMTP (Gmail, Google Workspace, G Suite)

    Often bloggers and small business owners don’t want to use third-party SMTP services. Well you can use your Gmail or Google Workspace (also known as G Suite/Google Apps) account for SMTP emails.

    This allows you to use your professional email address and improve email deliverability.

    Unlike other Gmail SMTP plugins, our Gmail SMTP option uses OAuth to authenticate your Google account, keeping your login information 100% secure.

    Read our Gmail documentation for more details.

    Microsoft SMTP (Outlook.com and Office 365)

    Many businesses use Outlook.com or Microsoft 365 to power their email. Our Microsoft mailer integration allows you to use your existing Outlook.com or Microsoft 365 account to send emails from WordPress for better deliverability.

    Read our Outlook and Microsoft 365 documentation for more details.

    Amazon SES SMTP

    Advanced or technical users can harness the power of Amazon AWS (Amazon Web Services) with the Amazon SES mailer. With this integration, you can send a high volume of emails at a very reasonable rate.

    Read our Amazon SES documentation for more details.

    Zoho Mail SMTP

    Send emails using your personal or business Zoho Mail account, all while keeping your login credentials safe.

    Read our Zoho Mail documentation for more details.

    Other SMTP

    Email Log

    Email Logging lets you log and view all emails sent from your site. Email logs are helpful for storing emails for your records, auditing outgoing emails, and debugging during site development.

    But that’s just the beginning. Our powerful WordPress email logs unlock extra tools to help you measure email engagement and improve email deliverability:

    Email Log Details

    Each Email Log entry includes a lot of useful information about the email, including the subject, sender, recipients (TO, CC and BCC), email content, email headers, open&click tracking stats, delivery status, which WordPress plugin sent the email, and more!

    Resend Emails

    You resend any email or forward it to one or more email addresses, right from your email log. From the overview page, you can also resend multiple emails in bulk. This is an awesome way to resend emails that failed or forward important emails to an alternative email address.

    Store Email Attachments

    WP Mail SMTP lets you store all of the email attachments that are sent from your WordPress site. That makes it easy to review an attachment or archive it locally.

    Export Email Logs

    Easily export your WordPress email logs to CSV, EML, or Excel. You can filter the email logs before you export and only download the data you need. This feature lets you easily create your own deliverability reports. You can also use the data in 3rd party dashboards to track deliverability along with your other website statistics.

    Print Emails

    Once you’ve activated email logging, any individual log file can be printed in an easy-to-read format. If you want to archive an email log digitally, it’s easy to export it to a PDF document too.

    Email Reports

    Email reports make it easy to track deliverability and engagement at-a-glance. Your open and click-through rates are grouped by subject line, making it easy to review the performance of campaigns or notifications. The report also displays Sent and Failed emails each week so you can spot any issues quickly. You’ll also see an email report chart right in your WordPress dashboard.

    Weekly Email Summary

    Get statistics about WordPress emails sent directly into your inbox. Our weekly emails reveal how many emails are being sent from your WordPress site, and which ones are getting opens and clicks. The Summary also shows you deliverability statistics at-a-glance so you can spot any issues without logging into WordPress.

    Track Email Opens and Clicks

    Wondering if your important emails were actually opened, or if any links in the email were clicked? Our email log allows you view open and click tracking stats for your WordPress emails and our Email Reports feature groups these stats by subject, so you can analyze their performance.

    Email Alerts

    Get instantly notified about failed emails! If your site’s mailer or SMTP service stops sending your emails, you’ll immediately receive a notification. Choose from several helpful alert methods, including:

    • Email Notifications
    • Slack Notifications
    • SMS/Twilio Notifications
    • Webhook Notifications

    In combination with Email Logging and Email Resend, Email Alerts let you ensure that no important email will ever be lost.

    Backup Connection

    WP Mail SMTP Pro allows you to configure multiple mailer providers. The main configuration will be your Primary Connection, and you can set another as your Backup Connection.
    If an email fails to send via your Primary Connection, WP Mail SMTP will automatically route it through your Backup Connection and try to send it again. This means fewer missed emails, even when something goes wrong.

    Smart Conditional Routing

    Smart Routing enables you to send emails through different mailer providers based on custom criteria. Easily configure your Smart Routing conditions using dozens of pre-determined options, including the contents of the email Subject or Message, From or To addresses, or which plugin initiated the email, just to name a few.

    Using Smart Routing lets you choose the best mailer for each type of email you send. Select a transactional mailer to send out your eCommerce order confirmations, another mailer for your newsletter and marketing emails, and more!

    Selecting the best mailer for each type of email you need to send will improve your overall deliverability and make sure your emails arrive in users’ inboxes.

    Manage WordPress Emails and Notifications

    The Manage Notification feature gives you full control over which email notifications WordPress sends. This means you can disable different WordPress notification emails. Don’t want to receive emails when new users are created? No problem, turn it off.

    WordPress Multisite

    WordPress Multisite Network Settings

    For users running a multisite network, our network settings provide a centralized location to easily configure your SMTP settings for all sites, saving you time.

    Manage Multisite Email Logs Easily

    WP Mail SMTP makes it easy for Network Admins to view and manage email logs for subsites. You can access all of your deliverability information from the Network Admin dashboard and quickly switch between subsites. That makes it easy to review email logging data for all subsites on one centralized page.

    Expert Support

    We provide limited support for the WP Mail SMTP plugin on the WordPress.org forums. Access to our world class one-on-one email support is available to WP Mail SMTP Pro users.

    White Glove Setup

    Our White Glove Setup service is a great option that anyone can benefit from. Whether you don’t have the time or maybe you feel a bit in over your head – we’ve got you covered.

    You can sit back and relax while we set up everything for you. White glove setup includes WP Mail SMTP plugin installation and setup, configuration adjustments to your DNS for proper email domain name verification, SMTP.com or Mailgun setup, and final testing to confirm everything is passing with flying colors.

    Security

    The WP Mail SMTP team takes security very seriously. Not only does the plugin follow all security best practices, but we have several options available to ensure your site is safe and secure.

    • Direct SMTP mailer integrations (recommended), such as SMTP.com, Sendinblue, Mailgun, SendGrid, Postmark and SparkPost, use the official provider APIs. This means you never enter your username or password in the plugin settings and these credentials are not stored in the database. Instead, we use tokens or API keys which are much more secure.

    • When using Other SMTP mailer, we provide the option to insert your password in your wp-config.php file, so it’s not visible in your WordPress settings or saved in the database.

    Credits

    WP Mail SMTP plugin was originally created by Callum Macdonald. It is now owned and maintained by the team behind WPForms – the best drag & drop form builder for WordPress.

    You can try the free version of WPForms plugin to see why it’s the best in the market.

    WPBruiser (formerly GoodBye Captcha) is an anti-spam and security plugin based on algorithms that identify spam bots without any annoying and hard to read captcha images.

    WPBruiser completely eliminates spam-bot signups, spam comments, even brute force attacks, the second you install it on your WordPress website. It is completely invisible to the end-user – no need to ever fill out a Captcha or other “human-detection” field ever again – and it just works!

    Unlike other anti-spam plugins, which detect spam comments and signups after the fact and move them to your spam folder, which you then have to delete – using up not only your website’s resources, but your time as well, WPBruiser prevents the bots from leaving spam in the first place. The result is that your site is not only spam free, it’s faster and more secure.

    In addition, WPBruiser is completely self-contained and does not need to connect to any outside service. Your logins remain yours, 100%.

    WPBruiser fights Brute Force attacks and eliminates spam-bots on comments, signup pages as well as login and password reset pages. At the click of a button, you can decide which forms to protect.

    Summary of WPBruiser features

    • Standard WordPress Login form integration
    • Standard WordPress Register form integration
    • Standard WordPress Forgot Password form integration
    • Standard WordPress Comments form integration
    • Ability to set the maximum number of characters for each comment field
    • Logging with the ability to enable/disable it
    • Automatically Block IP Addresses
    • Automatically purge logs older than a certain number of days

    Titan includes anti-spam, firewall, malware scanner, site accessibility checking, security and threats audits for WordPress websites. Our security functions provide Titan with the latest firewall rules, malware signatures, and database of malicious IP addresses – all you need to ensure the security of your website.

    Titan is a comprehensive WordPress security solution, completed by a set of additional features as add-ons, which was placed into a simple and intuitive interface.

    Why did we update Anti-Spam and what is Titan?

    Let me tell you before we start: your favorite Anti-Spam had not disappeared! Instead of that it revived and became stronger to stand guard over the secure of your site!
    The latest update of Anti-Spam is called Titan Anti-spam & Security and represents the brand new version of a plugin.

    Why TITAN?

    We aim to create a plugin as reliable as this metal – and easy-to-use at the same time. The new name of our plugin sets the pace with newest and highest standards of quality.

    What has been changed except the name?
    Whilst the process of modernization we had to take some complicated decisions. One of them was:
    What should we do: keep Anti-Spam like a simple plugin with the only one function or complicate it with a huge complex of tools made for the security of your site?
    Constant feedback from users and versatile development experience lets us claim that the situation when there is too many tools couldn’t exist!
    We considered all possibilities thoroughly to secure the best future for the plugin.
    Let me introduce new secure functionality that was developed with spending a lot of time, effort and consideration:

    • Checks your site for vulnerabilities and notifies in case of any problems or discrepancies. It also provides a notification of potential security issues when the plugin has been closed or inactivated.
    • Checks the content security by scanning the contents of files, messages and comments for dangerous URLs and suspicious content.

    SITE CHECKER [PRO]

    • Check the availability of any URL
    • Push notifications in the browser to show URLs access issues in real time.
      Your browser will receive push notifications if one of the URLS is unavailable.

    TWEAKS

    Still on the fence?

    • We’re currently the Only WordPress Security Plugin with a 5 Star user rating across more than 1 million installs.

    • We’re already the world’s number one for backups, so you know you can trust us with the security of your website too.

    LOGIN SECURITY FEATURE SUITE

    Protect against brute-force attacks and keep bots at bay. All-In-One Security takes WordPress’ default login security features to a whole new level.

    • Supports best practice: All-In-One Security detects if an account has the default ‘admin’ username or if a user has identical login and display names, prompting the user to change this in support of better security practices.
    • Hide login page from bots: Configure a custom URL for the WordPress ‘Admin’ login page, making it harder for bots to find.
    • Change default wp_ prefix: Hackers use automated code to attack websites like yours. Make life harder for them and protect your site with this simple but effective AIOS security feature.

    • Force logouts: Ensure users don’t stay logged in indefinitely. With All-In-One Security you can force logouts for all users after a configurable amount of time.
    • Robot verification: For additional security and to prevent spam registrations, implement Cloudflare Turnstile, Google reCAPTCHA, plain maths CAPTCHA or a honeypot to registration pages, or enable manual approval of user accounts instead.
    • Stops user enumeration: Prevent external users and bots from fetching user information via author permalink.
    • Two-factor authentication: All-In-One Security TFA supports Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy and many more.
    • Password strength tool: Calculates how long it would take for your password to be cracked through a brute force attack.

    • Progressively activate firewall settings: These range from basic, intermediate and advanced.

    Limit login attempts done right

    By default, WordPress allows unlimited login attempts through the login form, XML-RPC or by sending special cookies. This allows passwords to be cracked with relative ease via brute force attack.

    WP Cerber blocks intruders by IP or subnet from making further attempts after a specified limit on retries is reached, making brute force attacks or distributed brute force attacks from botnets impossible.

    You will be able to create a Black IP Access List or White IP Access List to block or allow logins from a particular IP address, IP address range or a subnet any class (A,B,C).

    Moreover, you can create your Custom login page and forget about automatic attacks to the default wp-login.php, which takes your attention and consumes a lot of server resources. If an attacker tries to access wp-login.php they will be blocked and get a 404 Error response.

    Malware scanner

    Cerber Security Scanner is a sophisticated and extremely powerful tool that thoroughly scans every folder and inspects every file on a website for traces of malware, trojans, backdoors, changed and new files.

    Read more about the malware scanner.

    Integrity checker

    The scanner checks if all WordPress folders and files match what exist in the official WordPress core repository, compares your plugins and themes with what are in the official WordPress repository and alerts you to any changes. As with scanning free plugins and themes, the scanner scans and verifies commercial plugins and themes that are installed manually.

    Scheduled Scans With Automatic File Recovery

    Cerber Security Scanner allows you to configure a schedule for automated recurring scanning easily. Once the schedule is configured the scanner automatically scans the website, deletes malware and recovers modified and infected WordPress files. After every scan, you can get an optional email report with the results of the scan.

    Read more about the scheduled scans.

    Two-Factor Authentication

    Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) provides an additional layer of security requiring a second factor of identification beyond just a username and password. When 2FA is enabled on a website, it requires a user to provide an additional verification code when signing into the website. This verification code is generated automatically and sent to the user by email.

    Read more about Two-Factor Authentication.

    Log, filter out and export activities

    WP Cerber tracks time, IP addresses and usernames for successful and failed login attempts, logins, logouts, password changes, blocked IP and actions taken by itself. You can export them to a CSV file.

    Limit login attempts reinvented

    You can hide WordPress dashboard (/wp-admin/) when a user isn’t logged in. If a user isn’t logged in and they attempt to access the dashboard by requesting /wp-admin/, WP Cerber will return a 404 Error.

    Massive botnet brute force attack? That’s no longer a problem. Citadel mode will automatically be activated for awhile and prevent your site from making further attempts to log in with any username.

    Cerber anti-spam engine

    Anti-spam and anti-bot protection for contact, registration, comments and other forms. WP Cerber anti-spam and bot detection engine now protects all forms on a website. No reCAPTCHA is needed. It’s compatible with virtually any form you have. Tested with Gravity Forms, Caldera Forms, HappyForms, Contact Form 7, Ninja Forms, Formidable Forms, Fast Secure Contact Form, Contact Form by WPForms.

    Anti-spam protection: invisible reCAPTCHA for WooCommerce

    • WooCommerce login form
    • WooCommerce register form
    • WooCommerce lost password form

    Anti-spam protection: invisible reCAPTCHA for WordPress

    • WordPress login form
    • WordPress register form
    • WordPress lost password form

    What does “Cerber” mean?

    Cerber is derived from the name Cerberus. In Greek and Roman mythology, Cerberus is a multi-headed dog with a serpent’s tail, a mane of snakes, and a lion’s claws. Nobody can bypass this angry dog. Now you can order WP Cerber to guard the entrance to your site too.

    海外からのコメントスパムに対抗(?)する手段として開発したプラグインですが
    現在下記のフィルタでスパム判定しています。

    ・日本語判定(日本語を含むかどうか)
     コメント欄に日本語文字列が含まれていないと投稿出来ない・・・
     といってもエラーにするのではなく「無視」して何事もなかったようにもとの記事に戻ります。
     [設定にてON/OFF出来ます。]

     ダブルバイトをカウントするのではなく正規表現により日本語を検出しているため、ダブルバイトの他言語も侵入してきません。
     [設定にてON/OFF出来ます。]

     記事のタイトルを利用して「日本語を含むこと」の条件を回避するふとどきものを排除するため
     「タイトルの文字列はカウントしない」機能を作りました。

    ・NGキーワード判定
     NGキーワードを複数設定することが出来ます。(カンマ区切りにて設定)
     日本語の文章であっても設定された「NGキーワード」を含む投稿の場合は、同様に無視します。
     もちろん他の言語のキーワードでもOKです。

     日本語が一切入っていないコメントでも「NGキーワード」だけ設定したい場合を想定し
     日本語が入っていないと許可しない設定を「オン・オフ」出来るようになっています。

    ・リンク含有数判定
     リンクと思わしき’http’を含んだ文字列が許容数(初期設定は3つ)を超えて包含される場合にエラーとします。

    ・ダミー項目による判定(スパムロボット対策)
     空のダミーフィールドを生成しJavaScriptでの制御を行うことでスパム判定します。(停止も可能です)
     ※スパムプログラムによる投稿に有効です。実際に入力しようとしてもその項目は見えないようになっています。
     [設定にてON/OFF出来ます。]

    ・IPアドレスによる判定
     指定IPアドレスからの投稿をスパムとして処理します。
     以前スパムとしてチェックした投稿のIPアドレス及び、任意のIPアドレスでの制御も出来るようになっています。

     【拒否リスト】
      拒否リストに登録したIPアドレスからの投稿をスパム処理します。

     【許可リスト】
      許可リストに登録したIPアドレスからの投稿はすべてのフィルタを通しませんので優先的に通常コメントとしてノーチェックで投稿処理がなされます。
    ※許可リストが一番強力にしてありますので、このIPアドレスがAkismetで捉えられていてもブロック対象だったとしても優先で通過させます。

     【許可リストのみ許可するフラグ】
      許可リストに登録したIPアドレスのみ許可するフラグをチェックすると許可リスト登録IP以外は無視されるようになります。
      このフラグが付いている場合は本来ノーチェックだった許可リストへIPアドレスチェック以外が行われるようになります。

    IPアドレスの指定「ブロックリスト」「許可リスト」共に「改行」区切りで複数入力できますが、「192.168.1.0/24」のようにIPアドレスの範囲指定も可能です。
    ※例:192.168.0.1,192.168.1.0/24,69.208.0.0/16 と指定した場合
     [192.168.0.1]と[192.168.1.0 ~ 192.168.1.255]と[69.208.0.0 ~ 69.208.255.255]のIPアドレスを拒否(または優先通過)対象とします。

    ・スパムフィルタによる判定
     このプラグインにて「スパムフィルタ」として利用させて頂いておりました「スパムちゃんぷるー(ベータ)」http://spam-champuru.livedoor.com/dnsbl/
     ですが、「2013年5月31日を持ちましてサービスを終了させていただくことになりました。」というアナウンスを受けながらも
     (参考URL:http://blog.livedoor.jp/edge_labs/archives/1791613.html )現在まで利用させて頂いてまいりました。
     ですが、2014年の締めくくりとしてこのままXデーを迎えるわけにもいかないという判断でこのスパムフィルタを組み合わせられるように構築しなおしました。
     選択肢は「bsb.spamlookup.net, bsb.empty.us, list.dsbl.org, all.rbl.jp」から自由に選択出来、プラスご自由に記入出来るように入力欄を設けました。
     これらの「選択肢」「自由記入欄」はリストとしてミックスされフィルタとして利用することになります。
     ※そのため、数が多いとその分、待ち時間・トラフィックが大きくなることはご注意ください。

    スパムデータベースに保持された投稿がどこのIPアドレスから行われたものかを知るための WHOIS情報 リンクがあります。
    この「WHOIS情報」リンクは ARIN ( https://www.arin.net/ ) を利用しています。

    表示期間を設定出来ますのでお好みの周期を設定してください。

    また表示期間を過ぎたデータを削除することも可能です。
    ※あまりにも解析処理に時間がかかるようでしたら過去のデータを削除することをお試し下さい。

    テストなどでスパム投稿したIPアドレスはスパム投稿一覧よりボタンひとつで削除出来ます。

    ※コメント投稿時のスパムコメント対応の煩わしさが原因で作ったものですのでスパム判定されたコメントを保持しておりません。

    テキストでリストを記述されている場合はそのまま稼働します。
    ダミー項目機能において一部テーマで隠しフィールドが表示されてしまう不具合報告がありましたので修正しました。

    ・バージョン2.6.8
    2015/5/12
    スパム排除が目的なのにスパムが溜まる矛盾を解決すべく「スパムデータベースへの保存」を デフォルト OFF にしました。

    スパムデータベースの最小保存期間を 3日から 1日に変更しました。

    プラグイン作成者のwordpress.orgネームが間違えていた(IDにしていた)ためプラグインページにプロフィールリンクが
    表示されていない大変寂しい結果になっておりました。今バージョンより修正いたします。

    ・バージョン2.6.4
    2014/06/23
    タイトルの文字列をそのまま流用し「日本語」を使うことでフィルタを回避しようとする方法を排除するため
    タイトル文字列を排除してカウントする機能を追加。(デフォルトで効くようになっています。)
    「日本語文字列含有数」については、この「タイトル」に使用されている文字列を除いた数をカウントするようになります。

    例)タイトルに使用された文字は「えーびーしー」という文字列の場合、「え」「び」「し」「ー」が何度出現してもカウントされません。
      「びしえー」というように文字列を入れ替えても「えー びー しー」とスペースを入れても関係なくカウントされなくなります。

    JSファイルの $ を jQuery に変更。

    ・バージョン2.6.3
    2014/06/06
    スパムデータベースの表示速度を向上するため
    スパムコメントの表示を個別画面へ移動(エラーをクリック)

    スパムの区別が「すぱむちゃんぷるー」でも「指定IP」でも同一「ブロックIPアドレス」であったが
    「すぱむちゃんぷるー」を分けて表示するようにした。これにより拒否リストから外せる場合が増えるはずです。

    管理画面の見栄えを変更しました。

    ・バージョン2.6.2
    スパム対策設定の初期値を長年の研究の末の「最適」であろう設定値にしました。
    デフォルト値として項目の下に記載しています。長年ご利用の方は、参考に調整してください。
    IE8にてJavaScriptエラーとなっていた箇所があり、「tsa_param.js」を修正いたしました。大変ご迷惑をお掛けいたしました。

    ・バージョン2.6.1
    スパムデータベースの表示に時間がかかるため「設定」部分と「スパムデータ」表示画面の2メニュー構成に変更しました。
    すぱむチャンプルーによる捕捉の場合にエラータイプが正しく表示されていない不具合を修正しました。
    スパム投稿内容によって画面が崩れる不具合を修正しました。

    ・バージョン2.6
    コメント欄に隠しフィールドを生成しその項目に入力があればスパム判定する機能を追加。
    スパムデータベースに[error_type]を追加。なにが原因でスパム判定されたかとスパム投稿の内容をスパムデータベースで保存(255バイトのみ)
    スパム一覧に少し表示するようにしました。
    ※データベースを直接参照すれば最新以外のスパム内容もわかります。(wp_)tsa_spamテーブルです。authorとcommentのみ格納しています。

    個人的にThrows SPAM Awayの設定内容をどこかに保存しておきたい場合がありましたので、そのためのメモ欄を追加しました。
    これは便利機能なだけで本体機能自体とはなんら関係ありませんのでご自由にお使い下さい。

    ・バージョン2.5.2.1
    管理画面の微妙な調整を行いました。

    ・バージョン2.5.2
    バージョン2.5.1で許可リスト等機能ブロックが無くなってしまったミステイクがあったため精査し機能を戻しました。
    大変失礼いたしました。設定されていたデータはそのまま残っていると思いますが、保証はいたしかねますのでご確認のほどよろしくお願いいたします。

    ・バージョン2.5.1
    「日本語が含まれない投稿は無視されますのでご注意ください。(スパム対策)」の文言表示する際の表示位置をフォーム内部の「送信」ボタン上かフォームの下に設置出来るように変更。
    この文言は前のバージョンまでは
    「 <div id=”throwsSpamAway”>日本語が含まれない投稿は無視されますのでご注意ください。(スパム対策)</div>」
    と表示されるようにしておりましたが、この「div」タグを「p」タグに変更。
    また、「コメント欄の下に表示される注意文言」を空白にした場合はタグ自体が挿入されないようにしました。
    どうしても崩れてしまう方は注意文言を空白にして更新するようお願いいたします。
    ※WordPress3.6以降のWordPressテーマ「Twenty Thirteen」で表示が崩れる事象が起きているための対策です。ご迷惑をお掛けしました。大変申し訳ありません。

    ・バージョン2.5
    「スパムちゃんぷるー(ベータ)」http://spam-champuru.livedoor.com/dnsbl/ を利用出来ます!スパムちゃんぷるーでスパム判定する機能です。
    「IPアドレス 許可リスト」を導入しました。許可リストに登録されたIPアドレスからの投稿はノーチェックで投稿完了されます。
    ※許可リストが一番強力にしてありますので、このIPアドレスがAkismetで捉えられていてもスパムちゃんぷるーでスパム扱いになったとしても優先で通過させます。
    スパムデータベースの表示期間を指定するようにしました。また表示期間を過ぎたデータを削除することも出来るようにしました。
    テストでスパム投稿したIPアドレスなどをスパムデータベースから削除する機能を付けました。
    スパム投稿データに「スパムちゃんぷるー」の結果も付加しました。

    ・バージョン2.4
    スパム情報収集機能を「スパムコメント情報を保存する」にした場合に限り、「一定時間内スパム認定機能」が作動するように出来ます。
    この「○」を設定します→《○分以内に○回スパムとなったら○分間、当該IPからのコメントはスパム扱いする設定》
    例えば、「10分以内に2回スパムとなったら10分間、当該IPからのコメントはスパム扱いする」とした場合は
    過去(今から)10分前から今まで2回スパム扱いとなったIPからの投稿は3回目以降スパム扱いとなります。
    そのため、10分以内に3回目のスパムを作ってしまったためそこから10分以上経過しないとずっとスパム扱いになってしまいます。
    今までのように「これは・・・・ダメ」「これは・・・・ダメ」「これは・・・・行けた!」「よっしゃーー!突っ込めー!」という風にはできなくなるということです。
    上記の例はデフォルト値ですが、「1時間(60分)以内に3回スパムになったら24時間(1440分)スパム扱い」という設定の場合は
    24時間以内に3回スパムがあったら・・・という設定とほぼ同等(完全に同等ではありませんが・・・)ですので
    24時間の方に合わせる形で24時間以内のスパム回数を算出するようにしています。(今後見直すかもしれません)
    あまり長い時間を指定しますとコメント欄への反映が遅くなりますので気をつけてください。
    5~10分程度を推奨します。

    スパム投稿の一覧を見やすくしました。
     これまでスパム投稿情報の表示が日付が一覧で縦表示していたため見づらいものとなっておりました。
     今回、横軸にその情報を追加しました。
     また、スパム投稿リストの表示も改良し、IPアドレス・スパム投稿数・最終投稿日でソートを掛けられるようにしました。

    IPアドレス指定を「カンマ区切り」から「改行区切り」へ変更。スパム投稿IPアドレス情報に下記データ追加
    ○IPアドレス
    ○ホスト名が特定出来た場合はホスト名
    ○このIPアドレスからの最終投稿日時
    ○このIPアドレスからスパム投稿を受けた記事(リンク)

    このバージョンよりファイル構成が変更になり、今まで「throws_spam_away.php」にプログラムのすべてが存在しましたが、プロセスの部分を
    「throws_spam_away.php」に残し、クラスの部分を「throws_spam_away.class.php」に移しました。
    これにより、throws_spam_away.class.php」を外部から読込みメソッドを使用することを目論んでいます。
    ※まだ実験段階です。

    ・バージョン2.3.1, 2.3.2 不具合修正 仕様は2.3のままです。
    ・バージョン2.3スパムコメント数を保持出来るようにしました。設定を変更しないと機能しませんのでご注意ください。
    保持データは下記の通り
    ○投稿日時
    ○投稿された記事ID
    ○投稿元IPアドレス
    となります。
    作成されるテーブル名は wp_tsa_spam(wp_の部分は設定されたもの) となります。

    現在は スパム投稿したIPの件数(ユニーク) と スパム投稿総数 のみ表示中・・・・StatPressのような表示にしました。
    また、現在まで「NGワード」に設定したものが 投稿者の「名前」に存在していた場合でも通っていましたが、「名前」にも効くようにしました。
    (トラックバックでも同様に名前もNGワード対象に追加しています。)

    ・バージョン2.2 ‘http’を許容数(初期設定 3)を超えて包含する場合にエラーとする機能を付けました。
    導入後すぐに機能しはじめます。制限数の増減も行えます。
    (注意!)不要な方は設定の変更でこの機能をOFFにしてください
    ※インストールしただけで最大限活用できるように初期設定値を設定いたしました。日本語スパム投稿(おもにリンクを多数掲載するもの)に対抗するための追加機能です。ご理解のほど、よろしくお願いします。

    ・バージョン2.1.1 一部レンタルサーバー等の設定によってコメント投稿後エラーまたは白画面になってしまう不具合を修正
    ※確認したレンタルサーバー(さくらレンタルサーバー)※コメント欄に独自修正を行うような特殊な条件により発生する模様

    ・バージョン2.1でIPアドレスの範囲指定を可能にしました。

    ・バージョン2.0で、WordPressのcommentsテーブルを検索し「spam」扱いとなったコメントのIPを収集しそのIPからの投稿を無視出来る機能と任意のIPアドレスからの投稿を無視出来る機能をつけました。

    ・バージョン1.7で、元の画面に戻ってくる際の挙動を修正しました。
    エラー画面表示の時間を「0」に設定していた場合はエラー画面を一切介さずリダイレクトするようにしました。
    0以上の場合の挙動は以前と変わらずJavaScriptで時間になったら戻ってきます。

    ・バージョン1.6にてNGキーワードとは逆にコレが入っていないとダメという「必須キーワード」の設定が出来るようにしました。
    日本語を入れれば良いため通ってしまいやすい「中国語」への配慮です。「が」や「の」や「は」など、日本語文章が成り立つ上で必ず使用するであろう「ひらがな」を入れることで効力が発揮されると思います。

    ・バージョン1.5では「トラックバック」に対しても同様の規制を入れられるようになりました。
    トラックバック記事の内容に日本語を含まないものを無視します。
    加えて、トラックバック記事内にこちらのサイトのURLが含まれない場合、日本語が含まれていても無視するかどうかの設定も出来るようにしました。

    Creating WordPress Landing Pages with SeedProd

    What are landing pages? A landing page is a standalone web page that a person “lands” on after clicking through from an email, ad, or other digital location. Most of the time, these landing pages have a different design from the rest of your site and do not show your website’s standard header and footer.

    Landing Pages have a particular purpose and desired user action; therefore, you want them to be distraction-free as possible. With SeedProd, it is super easy to create high-converting landing pages for any purpose, that are entirely separate from your website’s design.

    You can use our Domain Mapping feature to put landings page on their own domain, our Dynamic Text feature to add personalization, or our WooCommerce Blocks to build one-off product pages. These are just a few of the many powerful features SeedProd provides.

    Building Coming Soon Pages and Maintenance Mode Pages with SeedProd

    SeedProd allows you to build a coming soon or maintenance mode page that will hide your site from visitors and search engines like Google. You can work on your website in private. When the website uses coming soon mode, the page will be indexed by Google as long as your site is not set to be private in WordPress.

    In Maintenance Mode, we return a 503 header status that lets Google know your site is down for maintenance.

    Both of these modes are essential for any WordPress Website to have.

    The Free Version of SeedProd comes with a variety of Coming Soon Page and Maintenance Mode templates.
