    • Cloud explanation for the decision.

    Anti-Spam log in the CleanTalk's Dashboard.

    The Dashboard and Anti-Spam log is here.

    What additional anti-spam tools are available for GiveWP?

    Here are a few more tools on the market,

    1. Akismet is a cloud-based anti-spam service that works in the background and has excellent compatibility with WordPress. Most importantly, the GiveWP team has included Akismet integration directly in the core of the plugin, providing a seamless user experience for those who choose Akismet as their anti-spam solution. Akismet settings are located under WordPress console -> GiveWP -> Settings -> Advanced -> Akismet SPAM Protection. Here is full guide how to setup protection.
    2. Honeypot anti-spam techniques protect websites by adding invisible form fields that real users never see but spambots automatically fill in. When these hidden fields are completed, the submission is flagged and blocked, stopping spam without CAPTCHAs or user interaction. GiveWP has built-in honeypot which is located under settings WordPress console -> GiveWP -> Settings -> Security -> Enable Honeypot Field. This option is On in default setting, so should filter some primitive spam bots out of the box.
    3. reCAPTCHA is a spam protection technology by Google that helps protect WordPress websites by distinguishing real users from bots using challenges or behavioral analysis. It reduces automated spam submissions but may require user interaction, such as clicking a checkbox or solving a challenge. GiveWP supports reCaptcha in the core and settings are located by path WordPress console -> GiveWP -> Settings -> General -> Access Control -> reCaptcha. The first step to activate this protection is getting Site and Secret keys, which are available on website.
    4. Turnstile by Cloudflare is another great anti-spam tool which is available for GiveWP. Protects WordPress websites by verifying visitors automatically without CAPTCHAs or puzzles. It blocks bots using browser and behavioral signals while keeping the experience seamless for real users. One drawback is to use Turnstile user must install extra plugin – ‘Give – Cloudflare Turnstile’. The full guide is here.
    5. And we have bunch of standalone, universal, all-in-one plugins like Zero Spam, OOPSpam, hCaptcha for WP which provide anti-spam protection for GiveWP as well. Here is a link to download one of them.

    Here are screenshots for tools above.

    I have questions…

    Is CleanTalk protects against donors email leak?

    In July 2025, a vulnerability in GiveWP led to an email data leak of Pihole donators. Yes, Anti-Spam by CleanTalk helps protect against such issues. In this case, email addresses were exposed in the HTML code, even though they were invisible on public pages. The plugin prevents this by obfuscating email addresses by default.

    We received hundreds of spam donations immediately after installing GiveWP plugin. How to fix it?

    If you do not have specific anti-spam tool installed. Increasing the minimum donation amount can help stop spam, as bots usually test forms with small payments like $1–$5. Setting a $10+ minimum helps filter out these low-effort automated attacks.

    A donor is trying to submit recurring donations but the transaction isn’t being processed because the donor’s email is considered spam.

    False/positives sometimes happen. In this case just post a support ticket or put this donor in Allow list.

    Final thoughts

    I hope this guide helped resolve all spam issues on your donation form. If not, Sign Up for an account and our CleanTalk team will be happy to help.

      The settings located are here WordPress console -> User Registration & Membership -> Registration & Login -> Captcha. The Site Key and Secret key are available on website.
    3. Next is Turnstile by Cloudflare. It protects WordPress registration forms from spam by automatically verifying visitors using browser and behavioral signals without showing CAPTCHA challenges.

      The settings located are unde same path as tools before WordPress console -> User Registration & Membership -> Registration & Login -> Captcha. The Site Key and Secret key are available on website.
    4. There are also bunch of universal anti-spam plugins like Simple CAPTCHA Alternative by Elliot Sowersby, WP Armour and etc. All of them can be found on wordpress.org.

  • About the email “[CleanTalk] Access key used on multiple websites”

    About the email “[CleanTalk] Access key used on multiple websites”

    Recently, some of our users received an email with the subject:

    “[CleanTalk] Access key used on multiple websites”

    The message informed you that your CleanTalk Access key was detected on more than one website within a 24-hour period and recommended changing the key if the activity looked suspicious.

    The notification looked like this:

    Subject: [CleanTalk] Access key used on multiple websites

    We noticed that your CleanTalk Access key has been used on more than one website within the last 24 hours.

    Product: Anti-spam for sites
    Access key: your_access_key

    List of IPs:
    https://cleantalk.org/ipinfo/IP_addr

    If you do not recognize these websites, your Access key may have been compromised.
    Please change your Access key as soon as possible.

    This email was part of a new security feature designed to help prevent possible Access key leaks and unauthorized usage. We recently launched a new security feature that monitors whether a CleanTalk Access key is being used on multiple websites within a short period of time.

    The idea behind this was simple — help prevent possible key leaks or unauthorized usage and notify users if something looks suspicious.

    However, after launch we discovered an issue in the detection logic. Because of this, many users received this notification by mistake.

    That was our error — and we sincerely apologize for the confusion and concern it may have caused.

    We have already corrected the algorithm and added additional checks to prevent false alerts in the future.

    Thank you for your understanding and for trusting CleanTalk to protect your websites.

    If you have any questions, our support team is always here to help.

  • How Spam Activity Changes Over Time — and Why It’s Not Related to License Expiration

    How Spam Activity Changes Over Time — and Why It’s Not Related to License Expiration

    From time to time, website owners report a sudden increase in spam activity and try to link it to plugin settings, hosting, or license status.
    However, these assumptions often overlook how dynamic spam behavior truly is.
    To illustrate this, I conducted a small study analyzing spam distribution over time using data from several of our WordPress sites.

    First, I’ll look at data for three of our WordPress sites, which host our themed blogs. The statistics are for the year.

    1. Our blog, ClanTalk Anti-Spam and Security https://blog.cleantalk.org/

    The screenshot shows the statistics for the year.
    As you can see from the graph, the number of spam attacks isn’t linear, but fluctuates from month to month. Only since August has there been any stability, and the number of spam attacks has been more or less consistent.

    All time 10 979 spam blocked 10 21 2025 11 17 AM
    All time 10 979 spam blocked 10 21 2025 11 17 AM

    2. Our blog, research.cleantalk.org


    The graph shows an increase in spam attacks at the beginning of the year, followed by a decline to almost zero. However, in May, there is a peak in spam attacks, followed by a sharp decline. Subsequently, there is a slight increase in spam attacks.

    3. Our blog, blog.doboard.com


    The blog was launched recently, and from the very beginning, it was clear that the number of spam attacks was high, but after some time, there was a decrease.

    4. Personal WordPress Test Site


    The following graph shows statistics for my personal WordPress site, which I use for testing.
    The graph shows a steady increase, peaking in May and then declining.

    All time 19 510 spam blocked 10 21 2025 11 19 AM
    All time 19 510 spam blocked 10 21 2025 11 19 AM

    What Does This Tell Us?

    Based on this data, I can draw the following conclusions:
    the number of spam attacks does not show any trend, other than a possible seasonal factor.


    The number of spam attacks may not be linear from month to month or even from day to day. At some points, there may be more, at others, fewer. A low-traffic site like my test site can receive a much higher number of spam attacks than a site with more traffic, a larger number of articles, and a higher search engine ranking.

    What I did next?

    Now let’s talk about how a user can evaluate the difference between the amount of spam a client sees while using an anti-spam service and when the license expires.

    First, as you can see on our new site, the number of spam attacks increases as it gets added to spam lists.

    Second, when a client installs the CleanTalk Anti-Spam plugin, we have the SpamFireWall option. This option blocks spammers before they reach the site.

    CleanTalk Anti Spam Dashboard 10 21 2025 11 20 AM
    CleanTalk Anti Spam Dashboard 10 21 2025 11 20 AM

    As you can see from this table, we currently receive 12-14 spam attacks per day. These requests can be found, for example, in the spam folder on their site. On average, there were 57 spam attacks per week, and SpamFireWall (SFW) blocked another 350.

    Then, I disabled SFW, and the number of spam attacks reaching the website form immediately increased to 120 on average. So, we see that when using SFW, 50% of spam attacks reach the website and forms, and the remaining spam attacks were stopped by SFW and simply didn’t reach the website.

    Therefore, when assessing the amount of spam, we must also take into account the portion of SFW traffic that simply didn’t reach the website forms. You can track statistics for your sites in the Trends section of the ClanTalk Dashboard.

    To summarize

    The number of spam attacks is not constant and can be higher or lower. Also, when using SFW, you only see a portion of the spam reaching the forms on your website. Having or not having a CleanTalk license doesn’t affect the number of spam attacks.

  • Client Review: Climate Change Dispatch

    Client Review: Climate Change Dispatch

    We are happy to share feedback from one of our clients — Thomas, the owner of climatechangedispatch.com

    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.
    Not only did it catch spam, but the personal blacklists are a timesaver. No more hits or misses from imprecise wording in the Discussion settings. And the support is absolutely superb. The few times I’ve needed them, they were prompt and fantastic. The firewall and bot-crawler features are also a timesaver. Did you know that auto-bots crawl your site and slow it down? I’m talking spammy bots looking for email addies. This plugin stops them. And also prevents spam after spam from getting through via rate limiting. Try it out, and I swear you will rarely, if ever, have to get rid of spam manually. It’s that good!

    We thank Thomas for his detailed feedback and trust in CleanTalk.
    It’s always a pleasure to hear that our service helps clients protect their websites and save time.
