Dans le top des plugin WordPress
by Thomas Lloancy·3 weeks ago
La Sentinelle met fin à la pire merde qui ait jamais été inventée : le CAPTCHA. Même le nom est débile. Le CAPTCHA et les bots de SPAM sont pour moi un seul et même enfer dans le monde de l’internet, créés par des gens qui ne devraient même pas avoir le droit de toucher un ordinateur.
Et on est content de voir des Coder Heroes sortis de nulle part pour rétablir la balance.
Superb

Le meilleur plugin Antispam
by monwebmaster·5 months ago
J’utilise la Sentinelle Antispam depuis plusieurs années sur la plupart de mes sites WordPress. C’est un plugin simple, efficace et discret. Pas de CAPTCHA, pas de dépendance à Google et tout est transparant pour les utilisateurs.
En quatre ans et des milliers de soumissions de formulaires, j’ai eu un seul faux positif. Pour moi, c’est clairement un des meilleurs plugins AntiSpam.
Tres bien

Simple, Powerful, and Free
by Michal Kuruc·10 months ago·2 replies
This plugin is absolutely perfect – simple, super effective, and completely free. I install it on all my own websites as well as client sites. It works right after activation, no need for complicated settings or CAPTCHAs, and it blocks spam reliably without any hassle. I really appreciate that it stays lightweight and focused on what matters. I truly hope the plugin will continue to be developed and maintained for a long time. If there’s a way to support the author, I’d be more than happy to do so – at the very least, I’d love to buy them a coffee.
