No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

    wp-armor bloquait les formulaires Fluent Form pro. Je suis donc passé sur Titan anti-spam et cela a résolu le problème.

    It’s a nice collection of systems that has done a good job protecting my site. However, there were a couple specific technical issues that I needed assistance with so I sent a couple emails to get help. There was never an answer; even after informing them that ‘this was their last chance’. I’ve been a victim of a cyber attack, both personally with this site that I am working on, and professionally. I know what it’s like to lose everything, digitally speaking: it’s not fun. I rely on programs and systems like this, but more importantly, I rely on a little support when I get stuck or need some assistance. As a member of the “IT’ community, i know my way around a computer and related systems, so when I call or send an email, it’s important. Little or no support has ALWAYS been the most important thing in this business. I hope others have better luck than I

    I hate to leave negative comments but hopefully, the creators of this one can find their flaws and correct them. This plugin has been silently living on my blog for years. I forgot it was even there. I’m no web developer or anything so I neglected to test the comments feature occasionally and simply thought I was just an unknown blog. Today I found that my link was shared on a forum and comments were left on there saying they tried commenting in 2019 but their comment never posted. So, I tested it today and sure enough, it didn’t work.I’ve gone through my plugins and it never started working until I deleted Titan. I will now go and find an alternative security method for my website.

    I was annoyed when the little Anti-spam plugin became a giant security behemoth. But on an uncomplicated site, the anti-spam function still works invisibly, and I don’t notice change in the way it works or the speed of the site. For my purpose, which is purely filtering spam, the free version continues to work flawlessly; I ignore the rest of the functions. If it does what I want and causes no trouble, it deserves five stars—even though I grumbled at the apparent bloat.
