Frequently Asked Questions

Changelog

1.1.5

  • Improved: Conditional script loading — anti-spam JavaScript and CSS are now only output on pages that contain a CF7 or WPForms form (shortcode or Gutenberg block), reducing unnecessary DOM output on all other pages
  • New: samhp_force_enqueue filter — allows themes/plugins to force-load the anti-spam script on pages where forms are rendered outside post content (e.g. widgets, custom templates)
