Akismet

Akismet is an online service designed to combat spam, particularly in blog comments and contact forms. It automatically checks messages against a vast database of known spam and uses algorithms to determine whether a submission is legitimate or harmful. When someone leaves a comment or fills out a form, Akismet evaluates it and can mark it as spam, helping website owners maintain clean and relevant interactions. This way, it protects websites from unwanted content and enhances the overall user experience by ensuring discussions remain meaningful and productive.
