Spam protection for online apps or custom-built sites
This guide is for app developers who run any web app but mostly plugins for CMSs. Here we are going to show you how to protect your app against spam messages, registrations, orders and any spam post that goes to the backend through the website frontend.
As well as this guide is for web site developers who are in charge of developing a custom built website. In other words, if you do not have a plugin system on your site, this guide is for you.

| Great support, even better spam killer I was using Akismet for WordPress for years until I found Cleantalk. I got an email from Automaticc, which owns Akismet and Jetpack, stating that because I had some ads on my site, I had to pay a ridiculous amount of money. They gave me 30 days. I switched to Cleantalk as it was cheaper, and the difference was amazing... ThomasR | Incredible value for the price After trying all of the standard popular WordPress spam and firewall plugins over a many year period, such as Wordfence, the Siteground suite, and others, I found Cleantalk. Cleantalk works really well, it’s fast, easy to set up, and has incredible support. And it’s cheap! I hate to write premature reviews, but I’ve been using Cleantalk for a couple of years now and have even used it on little personal sites that previously had no paid plugins. Afrancia | I've used clean talk probably for about 15 years, used it on dozens of sites, and while running both antispam and the security modules the sites were being attacked constantly, but the Country level blocking snips that probing off before they can try to compromise the site. No more malicious registrations or submissions. The support has been consistent and excellent, a rarity indeed. David Ballard
| Simple, easy to understand, and *works* Very easy to set up and configure. I like that you can review its behavior and mark specific IP addresses as good or bad. Really appreciate the simple esthetic — no glossy chrome or upsell ads!
Draperd | Excellent fix for minimalizing spam entries Before utilizing CleanTalk, our website was way more of a task than it should be. The deciding factor was a week's vacation. While on vacation, our website would receive 200-400 spam form entries from our website's Contact Us form. As our web admin, I would have to go to our website dashboard and manually delete all the nonsense. CleanTalk takes care of that now and my vacation time is my vacation time. Excellent fix for minimalizing spam entries.
