Mimic Guard is an anti-spam plugin for WordPress mail and contact forms. It uses dynamic honeypots, submission time monitoring, and integration with major form plugins to reduce automated bot submissions.
- Honeypot — Detects bots that fill hidden form fields
- Time check — Flags submissions that are unrealistically fast after the form is shown
- Form integration — Works with WPForms, Contact Form 7, comments, and more
- Page caching — Optional AJAX honeypot injection when HTML is cached
- URL filter — Optional blocking when the message body contains http(s) URLs
- Restricted fields — Blocks URL, www, mailto, and @ patterns in name-like fields (not the message body or email inputs)
- Privacy — Optional IP anonymization when logging events
- Interaction check — Optional minimum focus/keyboard activity before submit
- Origin check — Optional blocking when Origin/Referer does not match your site
- Rate limit fingerprint — Optional per-browser counting when rate limiting is on
Configure minimum submission time, token lifetime, log list size, and more from the admin screens.
