Contact Form 7 is great at sending emails. It tells you nothing else. Who saw your form but didn’t submit? Which form has a 3% conversion rate when it should be 20%? Are those “leads” real people or disposable-email bots? CF7 has no answers. SP Lead Insights fixes that — no Google Analytics, no API keys, no data leaving your server. Install it, activate it, and every CF7 form on your site is tracked from that moment. Real conversion data. See views, submissions, and conversion rate per form — right in your WordPress dashboard. Full submission log. Every form entry with date, form name, and delivery status. When a client says they never got a reply, you’ll know in seconds. Spam blocked at the door. Build an email domain blocklist. Submissions from blocked domains get a validation error — they never reach your inbox. Honeypot protection is on by default. Private by design. No email addresses, no field values, no names stored. Ever. IPs are stored as one-way hashes that can’t be reversed. Nothing leaves your server. Features View and submission tracking on every CF7 form — automatic, no setup Conversion rate per form, calculated for you Dashboard widget — top 5 forms by conversion rate at a glance Full submission log, sortable by date, form, and status Email Domain Blocklist — block whole domains with one entry Blocked Attempts log with timestamps and reasons Honeypot spam protection, zero configuration GDPR-safe HMAC-SHA256 IP hashing, keyed to your site’s AUTH_SALT Zero outbound HTTP — nothing phones home
