How a spam attack led to our best plugin


It started innocently enough—with a few strange form submissions. But within a few hours, our support system was thrown into digital chaos:

A bot flooded our Elementor contact form with thousands of spam messages.

Because the form was directly connected to our ticket system, thousands of useless tickets were generated in no time. Our small software team suddenly found itself battling not with code, but with garbage.

We tested everything WordPress had to offer in terms of spam protection: free plugins, premium solutions, secret forum tips. But in our complex environment with Elementor Pro, Crocoblock, WooCommerce, and our own plugins, many systems failed—or blocked genuine customer inquiries.

Only Google reCAPTCHA stood up to scrutiny—but at a high price: user data transferred to the US, questionable GDPR compliance, hidden behavioral analysis, and additional bandwidth consumption. For us as a European company, this was not an option.

So we did what developers do when there is no solution: we built our own.

Our plugin has been tested by an external security company—and even an AI-powered spambot couldn't get past it. Today, it protects not only our own sites, but also those of many customers.
