How GhostTrap works
Show full descriptionShow less
GhostTrap provides sophisticated invisible spam protection using a comprehensive 5-layer detection system. Legitimate users comment normally while automated spam is silently blocked through advanced timing analysis, cryptographic validation, and behavioral detection.
5-Layer Protection System
Timing Analysis – Detects submissions too fast for human interaction
Cryptographic Signatures – Prevents replay attacks and form manipulation
Year Validation – JavaScript-enhanced field verification
JavaScript Detection – Ensures legitimate browser interaction
Honeypot Fields – Multiple hidden traps catch automated bots
Professional Features
Enhanced Admin Interface – Professional statistics dashboard with custom branding
Real-time Statistics – Track protection effectiveness with detailed blocking metrics
Configurable Timing – Adjust detection sensitivity from 5-300 seconds
WordPress 6.4+ Compatible – Full support for block themes and FSE
Admin Bar Integration – Quick spam statistics for administrators
Screen Options Control – User-configurable interface elements
Zero User Friction All protection operates invisibly – no captcha, no puzzles, no delays. Users with JavaScript enabled see normal comment forms, while those with disabled JavaScript get simple year validation. Protection effectiveness remains high in both scenarios.
