    Hello,

    I’m using JetPack Contact Form as well as I have Akismet.
    My problem is every day I received much spam on the feedback section in the spam tab.
    How to avoid them?
    (my comment section is almost empty of spam)

    Thanks in advance

    If the spam feedbacks are going into Spam sub-section of the Dashboard’s Feedback tab, that is Akismet doing its job, otherwise they’d just be in the main Feedback tab along with all of the not-spam items.

    The Spam sub-section is just for your review if you want to, otherwise Akismet will automatically clear out every spammed item once it’s 15 days old.

    Hello,
    Thanks a lot for assist me.

    It’s possible to enable Google ReCaptcha or 2-step confirmation email for the JetPack contact form?

    I have another question
    I’ve disabled many Jetpack modules.
    They are quite and fully inactive or still using resources in the background?

    You can try https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/recaptcha-for-jetpack/, though it looks like that plugin is no longer being maintained. CAPTCHAs are also very hard for people with visual impairment to use, so I wouldn’t recommend adding that.

    The Jetpack contact form is already being protected by Akismet,and if you’re getting spam submissions in the main feedback folder, just mark them as spam to train Akismet to start filtering them as well.

    If you’ve disabled a module, code for that module should not load when someone loads your site in their browser, and they shouldn’t use any resources.

    The only exception I know of is the Image CDN – if you enable Tiled Galleries, it always uses the CDN even if the CDN is otherwise disabled. But the whole purpose of the CDN is to use our resources rather than your site’s.
