Gravity Forms Spam Hexer
Add invisible proof-of-work spam protection and optional AI classification to your Gravity Forms and WordPress comments.
What it does
Spam bots fill out forms automatically, wasting your time and cluttering your entries. Spam Hexer stops them by making the visitor's browser solve a small computational challenge in the background before a submission is accepted—no CAPTCHA, no extra steps for real users.
When you turn on the optional AI classification, submissions are analyzed using context from your site, forms, and fields. That catches more sophisticated spam that simple challenges miss. You can connect via WordPress AI Connectors or OpenRouter using models you already have access to.
The plugin covers both Gravity Forms submissions and WordPress comments from one place. You can choose to flag spam, silently reject it, or show a validation error. Detailed analytics show you solve times, pass/fail rates, and AI usage so you can see exactly what was blocked and why.
