Features

Protection you can actually see working

Per-form controlsPro

Spam Guard Pro lists every detected form with its source plugin. Every protection is on by default; flip a switch off for one form without touching the rest. Global settings stay the master control.

A spam log that explains itself

Every blocked submission shows the page, form, reason, score and IP address. Search it, filter by source and clear it when you’re done. Pro adds richer columns, message previews and a Not Spam action that moves a real lead into Recovered Leads.

Geo BlacklistPro

Serve Vancouver, not the whole world? Tick the countries whose submissions should be blocked, or add IP addresses and ranges. Visitors from a blocked country can still browse your site. Only their form and comment submissions are stopped.

Form validation

Server-side and browser checks for required fields, emails, URLs, phone numbers and numbers, plus payload limits and a message you write yourself. Included free.

Keyword & email rules

Block phrases like “guaranteed results” or whole email domains and endings. Every hit is named in the log so you can tune the list. Included free.

Bot checksPro

Honeypot, signed browser guard, submission timing, rate limiting and duplicate checks catch bots without slowing down real people. Administrators can bypass the bot checks.

Spam Guard questions

Which form plugins does Spam Guard support?+

The free plugin protects 30 form plugins, including Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, WPForms, Fluent Forms, Formidable Forms, Ninja Forms, Forminator, Elementor Forms, Jetpack Forms, Breakdance Forms, Bricks Forms and Kadence Forms, plus WordPress comments and ordinary public forms in your theme.

Will real leads get blocked?+

Rarely, and you can always check. The spam log records every blocked submission with its reason, so a false positive is easy to spot and the rule easy to relax. With Pro you can mark an entry Not Spam to move it into Recovered Leads, and let administrators bypass the bot checks.

Does it replace reCAPTCHA?+

Yes. Spam Guard checks every submission on your own server, so there is nothing for visitors to click and no third-party script slowing your pages.

How do I add Pro?+

Keep the free Spam Guard plugin installed and active. Download Spam Guard Pro from My Account → Downloads, upload and activate it as a separate plugin, then paste your key on the Spam Guard → License page. The Pro features unlock as soon as the key is validated.

What happens if my subscription ends?+

If your subscription ends, the free plugin keeps working exactly as before. The Pro add-on’s extra features pause until you resubscribe. Your settings and data are kept.
