Description
EzerWeb Forms and Comments Anti-Spam Guard protects your WordPress site from automated bots, disposable email burners, and spam submissions.
It provides a dual-layer defense mechanism:
- Client-side JavaScript validation – Instantly blocks restricted email addresses or TLDs before the form is submitted.
- Server-side PHP inspection – Catches any submission that bypasses JavaScript (or when JS is disabled) and blocks it with a clear error message.
The plugin works automatically on all forms and comment sections on your site. No shortcodes or template changes are required.
Key Features
- Dual-layer (client + server) protection
- Two operating modes:
- Strict Allowlist – Only emails/TLDs you explicitly permit are accepted
- Blocklist Only – Everything is allowed except the addresses and TLDs you ban
- Configurable lists for:
- Specific email addresses
- Top-level domains (TLDs) such as
.xyz,.top,.click, etc.
- Works with native WordPress comments, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, Elementor forms, and most other form plugins that use standard email fields
- Lightweight – no external API calls or database bloat
- Clean admin settings page under Settings EzerWeb Anti-Spam

FAQ
-
Do I need to add any shortcodes or code to my theme?
-
No. Once activated and configured, the plugin automatically protects every form and the native comment form on your site.
-
What happens when a spam email is submitted?
-
- If JavaScript is enabled the user sees an alert and the form does not submit.
- If JavaScript is disabled (or the request is made via AJAX that bypasses the client script) the server returns a 403 response with a clear “Submission Blocked by Anti-Spam” message.
-
Can I use both allowlist and blocklist at the same time?
-
The plugin always applies the blocklist first. In Allowlist mode only the addresses/TLDs you have allowed will pass (and they must also not be on the blocklist). In Blocklist mode everything is allowed except the items you have blocked.
-
Does it work with popular form plugins?
-
Yes. It inspects all POST data for email-looking values, so it works with Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, WPForms, Elementor forms, and most other plugins that submit standard HTML forms.
