Essential. No peace of mind without Akismet.

I’ve used Akismet on every one of my personal and client sites for over a decade. Yet to have a single spam comment/account get through.
This is one of those services I pay for even with the ‘free’ version and still feel I’m getting the best end of the deal.

It just works without me having to manage any aspect. No WordPress website should be without Akismet.

Akismet just works. You may never hear from it. You also won’t get any spam.
Akismet has been around a long time and is one of the earliest examples of Machine Learning (ML) put to use on a massive sale through Automattic’s unmatched infrastructure for WordPress. It’s a distributed cloud solution that doesn’t require your WordPress installation or your web host to front the resources necessary to stop spammers. If a spammer visits your site and the Akismet network has seen them and their type of spam before, their comment or form submission will never reach your WordPress site.
The only other effective and efficient plugin-based methods of spam *prevention* use honeypots and integrate with fail2ban, which isn’t the easiest thing to set up. Akismet just works — for comments and contact forms, custom forms built with Jetpack, and it can be easily extended for use with other well-documented form solutions, like Gravity Forms.
Nothing else is as simple end effective as Akismet.

Saves so, so much time, and in all the years I’ve used it, I don’t recall a single false positive.

Akismet is an essential component in humanities never ending battle against spam.
I can’t conceive of a situation in which Akismet would not be the first plugin I’d ship a site with.

Got an email spam from [email protected] to the WordPress admin email asking me to leave a review but only if its 5 stars:
“If you don’t have a 5-star opinion of Akismet, please reply to this email and let us know how we can improve.”

Now it works after all.
Solution: 2x uninstall and reinstall, after that it worked without problems.
Happy and satisfied ??

Sometimes, when you don’t see *everything* happening behind the scenes of an action, it’s an easy and quick assumption to think a particular part isn’t working, or that things could be working better, faster, more obviously. I am guilty of this in regard to Akismet – I didn’t see much action, so I assumed it either wasn’t working, or that my *insignificant* pages weren’t worthy of their time and that’s why I wasn’t seeing much in the way of ACTION-
Then I started being barraged with all sorts of spam attacks. I had been getting them consistently for a couple of weeks from the same persistent I.P.s – I KNEW I had a problem, I just figured no one else was noticing, so I reached out to Akismet to ask for additional help to monitor and stop the attacks.
Beyond the initial BOT generic response to my plea for assistance, I reached a human who took my concerns seriously, worked quickly to assure me the attacks were being seen, monitored, and that many *more* than I had realized had already been caught and stopped. They began at once to remedy the situation and through a few steps on my end, have quickly and abruptly ended the attacks from being a menace.
Persistence was key in this situation on my part. Knowing what to do and how to do it came from the experts at Akismet. In this instance, having no spam plugin would have been tantamount to suicide for my wordpress blog. Having a blog with spam protection built-in was so seamless, I had assumed it wasn’t really doing anything.
How wrong I was.

Akismet does a great job at keeping spam comments at bay. No complaints.

Akismet is the absolute best protection against spam that is “out there.” We wouldn’t run a site without it! The support is exceptional and the plugin runs flawlessly, stable, minimal and seamless updates (very low maintenance on our side,) and without conflict or bloat. The multi-site license is also very affordable, and well-worth the cost. Cheers to the devs for a great job!

Quality antispam with fast, friendly and helpful support team. It’s saving our project coordinators a headache – before having Akismet, we’d been receiving waves of spam from all our project websites. Thank you for your kindness towards nonprofits like us!

Like so many others, I got an email about my account being suspended. The reason was that I apparently are displaying ads on my website. But I have no ads on my website. So, there’s that. But I don’t care, I’ll live without this plugin.

I was getting overwhelmed with binance spam, when I learned that Akismet was free for small non-profits like ours. I wrote, explaining that I could send our Certificate of Incorporation, and IRS Letter of Determination. Akismet only needed the Letter of Determination.
When I sent it, Akismet promptly send explicit and easy to follow directions, and even reminded me that I could also enable the Jetpack plugin.
Great service! I would definitely recommend them.
