Minimise the level of spam emails via contact forms

Kirby 3 Solved ✅

Hi all

What are some suggestions to minimise spam emails via contact forms on Kirby sites?

I originally followed the Kirby Cookbook contact form recipe but have recently been heavily spammed via the contact form.

I’m looking for ways to minimise that… any suggestions?

Bit more info - we received around 250 spam emails in 15 minutes

If you use the kirby uniform plugin, you can choose between a variety of guards or write your own.

I’m usually happy with a honeypot and a static captcha, but your mileage may vary.

Thank you, I’ll have to look into uniform.

I’ve implemented recaptcha using uniform. I’ll see how we go with it now :smiley:
Thanks for the suggestion!
