I hate CAPTCHAs.
And so do your customers ... up to 40% of them abandon a form the moment they see one.
But the alternative used to be worse.
At one point, my @wpbeginner forms got 18,000 spam requests in a single night.
So I tried everything. Honeypots, rate limiting, etc -- they worked for a while until they didn't.
There are premium spam tools, but they're often slow & expensive. They flag real people without telling me why.
So I asked my team to build something better.
It's called ActiveLayer (@activelayerapi) - an AI-powered spam protection that blocks bots without ever asking your real customers to prove they're human.
No CAPTCHAs. No tracking scripts. No friction.
It runs server-side in milliseconds and returns a verdict with a confidence score, so you can actually see why something was flagged.
It works with every WordPress form plugin you already use including WPForms (@easywpforms), @gravityforms, Contact Form 7, Elementor (@elemntor), etc.
There's also a clean REST API for everything else, so you can use it on any application platform, not just WordPress.
Think of it as a smart security guard for your forms. It welcomes real people, blocks the bots, and never asks anyone to prove they are human.
Let's make the web a little less spammy together.

If you know what happened to some highly reputable WordPress brands today, it's truly unfortunate.
For those who are looking to switch, we are ready to onboard and support you through the transition.
- @wpcharitable is growing and many non profits are switching from GiveWP. We have an easy to use importer as well.
- @memberpress is absolutely crushing it. If you are on LearnDash and need a reliable LMS / membership solution to switch to, look no further. MemberPress has all + coaching + community features. It's an all in one solution, the best in the category.
- @sugarcalendar is a light weight but powerful event calendar solution for WordPress. Over 10,000+ sites are already using it and we continue to make the product better each week.
- @duplicatorwp is one of the most popular backup and migration solution for WordPress. If you want to swap out SolidWP tools, our bundle gives you Activity log and more features for great value.
- @athemesdotcom has two beautiful themes in Sydney and Botiga. Our Merchant plugin is incredible for Woo users.
Also for Woo users, take a look at @FunnelKitHQ and @couponsplugin for other really solid features.
Of course I highly recommend checking out our entire portfolio of plugins. Our team has been doing an incredible job and we are here to support the users for long term.

@nuclearsamurai@WHALEMembers Loved hearing about your process and how much work went into it during your interview with @Nytmare, knew I had to pick one up eventually after that! Today was the day
@degennQuant The vote in this case works as feedback to help Jeff and the team decide imo. I think that is what you want at this stage with such an important decision as this one is.
@slowblogger@ArweaveEco 100% agree with this. I want to use Arweave for a site I'm working on and it's more complicated to get it on Arweave than I expected. A WordPress plugin to make it easy to archive to Arweave would be nice
I see you now. I'm so sorry
My first 1/1 minted on @manifoldxyz is one that is deeply personal, I wouldn't have it any other way. It's a privilege to share with you all.
Set up for a 24hr auction

@dabit3@Degenerate_DeFi Loved the stream, really helped seeing the demos and hearing how they were built. Looking forward to the next episode! Hope the series continues
@SammiiSprinkler@JustDeauIt@solana It didn’t work well for SOL NFTs. cryptotaxcalculator didn’t either. Maybe they’ve improved now though. All the sub wallets seemed to cause an issue at the time.
