Just what you need

Forget about all the other antispam plugins out there. They are all unnecessarily big. This is just what you need, a simple tool to block the spam for comments.

Does not work with WordPress 5.9.1

Unfortunately you cannot create posts or pages when version 0.1.8 of this plugin is active with WordPress 5.9.1

Completely useless

Not doing anything with WP 5.8. And sadly, this is the 3rd and the last available plugin I tried with no luck.

Very good extension :-)

This makes life easier for local development. I use it with ngrok to show my projects to my clients 🙂 That works well! Do not forget to deactivate it when you put your website on the final server onl
