Akismet filters out your comment spam for you, so you can focus on more important things.


Why Akismet?

Akismet integrates with top plugins

We hate spam as much as you do

We all hate spam. It’s annoying. It hurts your site’s credibility. Filtering it manually is confusing and time-consuming. Time spent dealing with spam is time stolen from the business of your site.

7.5 million spam caught every hour

Slaying spam since 2005

To date, we have kept 517,311,970,808 pieces of spam off the web, averaging about 7,500,000 per hour. That means we’re stopping almost twice as much spam as there are people in Los Angeles every single hour.

We’ve got connections
