Honeypot Anti Spam for Forminator Forms

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I noticed this handy dandy plugin only had one review and since I use it on all my sites these days, I figured I should give it a rating. Anyway, it works well and seems to really help cut down on junk and spammers using my forms. Combine it with a captcha and you only get the human spammers which are relatively rare.

   Even with both the built-in Honeypot and ReCaptcha enabled, I was getting a ton of spam in one of my Forminator Forms. It almost seemed like I started getting more spam after I turned the built-in Honeypot on. It’s been 24 hours now with this plugin and I haven’t gotten a single spam email. Normal submissions are still getting through, and site speed hasn’t been affected at all. Thanks so much to the dev for turning this into a plugin!!
