Layered spam protection for WordPress
Maspik Pro is a WordPress spam protection platform for websites that need more than a single filtering method. It combines multiple independent protection layers to analyse submissions before they reach your inbox or workflow. Protection can cover contact forms, registration forms, comments, WooCommerce, and custom PHP forms.
The Pro edition combines lightweight local validation with optional cloud intelligence. Most detection can run inside WordPress, while selected features such as Matrix or IP reputation can use cloud requests. Only enabled protection layers are executed, helping keep the configuration focused and avoiding unnecessary front-end JavaScript.
Protection layers and Pro controls
Configure the layers that suit your website, including forbidden keywords, email pattern checks, URL validation, phone format validation, character limits, link limits, emoji filtering, honeypot protection, Verification Key checks, direct POST protection, IP blocklists, IP reputation, and proxy or VPN detection.
Maspik Pro adds country and continent restrictions and language rules. These controls are useful when a site serves a defined audience or needs to apply different rules to particular submission sources. Pro also includes unlimited Maspik Matrix protection, extending local rules with optional cloud analysis such as IP reputation, pattern analysis, heuristic detection, structural analysis, AI scoring, and threat intelligence.
Forms and integrations
The plugin supports WordPress core forms and a broad selection of form and membership tools, including Elementor Forms, Contact Form 7, Fluent Forms, Formidable Forms, Forminator, Ninja Forms, JetFormBuilder, Everest Forms, Breakdance Forms, Bricks Builder, Divi Contact Form, Hello Plus, MetForm, Bit Form, SureForms, WS Form, BuddyPress Registration, MemberPress, AffiliateWP, Easy Digital Downloads, FunnelKit, WordPress Comments, and WordPress Registration.
With Pro, support also includes WPForms, Gravity Forms, WooCommerce Registration, and WooCommerce Checkout. Developers can analyse selected fields from custom PHP forms through the available developer API, focusing detection on the values that matter rather than technical inputs such as nonces or tokens.
Logs, statistics, and administration
The submission log shows why an entry was blocked, which protection layer was triggered, submitted values, the detection trace, IP address and country, date and time, and page URL. Entries can be marked as “Not Spam,” and a blocked value can be converted into a rule. Passed submissions can also be logged for review.
Statistics provide totals for blocked submissions, detection trends, protection-layer activity, Matrix usage, and spam history. Pro also includes a Central Dashboard for managing rules across multiple websites, premium integrations, and premium support.
Installation and workflow
Install and activate Maspik Pro, then enable the protection layers and integrations needed for your forms. No CAPTCHA setup or API key is required for the basic workflow. Review the submission log, adjust rules when necessary, and use Matrix or optional API integrations such as AbuseIPDB and ProxyCheck when those services are enabled.
