What the work changed

Built around the real job.

01

The problem

Existing tools did not provide one complete defence for every WordPress submission route. AI-driven bots and mass campaigns were still passing conventional checks and burying genuine enquiries in spam.

02

What I built

Blocks spam form submissions on a score, and protects user registration against spam sign-ups. Manual or automatic blocking, with custom rules.

03

What changed

Across the 12 websites using it, the spam that had been reaching those sites was eliminated—including mass campaigns and AI-bot submissions—while genuine customer enquiries continued to arrive.
