GDPR-friendly behavioral spam protection for WordPress forms. No Google. No external servers. Zero page speed impact.<\/div>\n

MentoGuard protects your WordPress forms from spam bots using behavioral analysis and server-side token verification \u2014 completely GDPR-compliant with no data sent to Google or any third party.<\/p>\n

Currently supports Contact Form 7<\/strong>, with more form builders coming in future releases.<\/p>\n

How It Works<\/h4>\n

MentoGuard uses three independent protection layers:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Signed token<\/strong> \u2014 every form load generates a one-time server-side token. Bots submitting without loading the page are instantly blocked.<\/li>\n
  2. Page time check<\/strong> \u2014 measures time between page load and submission entirely server-side. Bots submit in milliseconds; real users take seconds.<\/li>\n
  3. Behavioral score<\/strong> \u2014 JavaScript tracks how the visitor interacts with the form (timing, mouse movement, keyboard vs paste, field order) and assigns a spam score.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Privacy<\/h4>\n

      Usage with Contact Form 7<\/h4>\n

      Add [mentoguard] inside your CF7 form editor, before the submit button:<\/p>\n

      [text* your-name]
      \n[email* your-email]
      \n[mentoguard]
