Honeypot
Honeypot for Craft CMS catches form spam with a hidden field, so customers never solve a puzzle.
Stop form spam quietly
The Honeypot plugin for Craft CMS is a lightweight anti-spam solution that works by tricking automated bots into revealing themselves. It does this using a honeypot field: a hidden form field that real users don’t see or interact with, but that bots often fill out automatically.
-
Nothing to solve
No puzzle, no images of buses. Customers fill in the form and press send.
-
Catches bots
A field only an automated submission fills in, checked before anything is saved.
-
Any form
Works with the forms you already have, wherever they post to.
-
Timing checks
Submissions that arrive faster than a person could type are treated as what they are.
-
One-time setup
Add it once. Honeypot needs no tuning as the spam changes.
Common questions.
- Why does Honeypot work?
-
Most bots are designed to fill out all form fields they encounter, assuming that they are required fields. By adding an invisible field, Honeypot exploits this behavior. A human user will never interact with it, but a bot will, allowing the system to detect and filter out spam without needing complex machine learning models or third-party verification services.
