More About Akismet
Akismet is one of the few plugins that come pre-installed on WordPress installations. This means all you need to do is select a plan and activate it.
Its features will depend on the type of plan you select. Akismet can monitor and block spam from both comments and submission forms. It uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning to detect suspicious or malicious content.
Overall, Akismet is an excellent solution for website owners hoping to add another layer of security to their sites. Spam can slow down sites or even damage them with malware. Akismet also integrates with other security plugins and form builders, such as Jetpack, Gravity Forms, and Formidable Forms.
