Let Akismet handle the spam

Keep comments and forms open without adding friction for the people you want to hear from.

No more approving or vetting

Manually reviewing spammy form submissions eats up time—time you could spend growing your business.

Verify less, convert more

No more CAPTCHAs, so visitors submit more forms and you won't waste time on fake responses.

An experience they'll all love

No more spam means visitors can comment and engage distraction-free—without being sidetracked, duped, or annoyed.

Jetpack has caught almost 2 million blocked spam comments on my sites. What I appreciate the most is how the system learns as we go. If a spam comment slips through, or a good comment gets spammed, we can make sure it doesn’t happen again.
