(REVIEW UPDATED August 2021)
Based on my long experience, I think this the simplest, fastest e most effective plugin to avoid spam in WordPress comments.
I’m using this plugin on several sites, since years, and it works like a charm.
Also on a big website with thousands of daily views (using .htaccess)
P.s. It works very well with all versions of WP 5.x

If you don’t use any other spam filter plugins, then you can rely on this to stop spam comments for sure!

There used to be 2 types of anti-spam plugins. The first one will block all comments, and also block shopping carts if you run a site where people need to pay. The second doesn’t work. There is now a 3rd category, and this one not only works, but also will not block shopping carts. This anti-spam works well with Clickbank and WP eMember possibly other carts as well.
Thank you so much! The last update stopped the anti-spam from Tips and Tricks HQ with their WP Security plugin, and I was inundated with 100s of spam comments per day. Now, this solution works, and everything is sent to spam, without messing with my shopping cart.
Thank you so much.

I originally found out about this plugin on Justin Tadlock’s blog. He was all for it so I figured it has to be a good one. I currently have it installed on all of my sites along with the recommended .htaccess rule, and now I do not ever see any spam! Awesome job guys! Thanks for a great plugin!

Love the premise of this plugin, and the results are respectable & accurate. Can’t ask for more than that! If a project I’m working on supports comments, this is my go-to plugin to reduce spam.

This plugin is 100% essential for any WordPress site. In fact, it would be great if this was added to core.

The graph Spam Blocked in Akismet went from 111 comments blocked in April 2014 to barely one if not zero comments a month.

Some of the plugins that I tried before promised cutting the SPAM but failed miserably to do so. I now believe that at my site [Link redacted], this plugin has served me very well.

I was getting inundated daily with spam that Captcha, modifying .htaccess etc etc did not help with – it was all going into the spam folder but I didn’t want to have to wade through it all just in case a valid posting fell into it!
This plugin has silenced them all!
Want to fix your spam problem – this IS the tool to use until WordPress fixes their code!

We installed Cookies for Comments at the beginning of January. 30 days later, there are 111 spam comments in the Spam folder, and one good comment that was not marked as spam. So far 100% accuracy. Very happy!

I’d been getting a dozen spams a day on two of my sites. We installed “Stop Spam Comments” on one and “Cookies for Comments” on the other. Both worked perfectly. No more spam. Thanks!

This plugin is a very simple, elegant way to prevent comment spam.
It has stopped literally every spam comment attempt over the last six months.
Plus, it doesn’t require any new user interaction.
No more annoying CAPTCHAs.
I highly recommend it for any WP install!

I tried several plugins that promised to cut out the spam with varying degrees of success. This plugin completely silenced all those pesky artificial comments.
