Stop spam on Contact Form 7
Cayve checks every Contact Form 7 submission before the email goes out, without a CAPTCHA and without touching your form markup.
We noticed your website is not ranking on the first page and can fix that this week. Reply for a free audit.
Why
- It reads like an SEO or marketing pitch (first page, free audit).
- It asks to be contacted somewhere other than the address given.
- Sent 2 seconds after the form opened, faster than a person can fill it in.
What Cayve checks
- Every form on the site
- Name, email, subject, message and any extra fields
- How the form was filled: timing, the hidden field bots fill, the signed form token
When a message is held or blocked
The visitor always sees your normal success message, so a spammer learns nothing. The entry is saved as usual; only the notification email is held back. Release the message in Cayve → Messages and the email goes out as if nothing happened.
Set it up
Add your site in the Cayve dashboard and create a live key.
Install the Cayve plugin in WordPress (Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin).
Paste the key on the Cayve → Overview screen. Cayve checks it straight away.
Make sure Contact Form 7 is switched on under Cayve → Protection. It is by default.
Cayve never marks the message as spam inside Contact Form 7, so the visitor always sees your success message.
