Feature
Honeypot field — Adds a hidden field to supported forms; bots that fill it get a heavy score increase.
How it works
Real users don’t see the field, but many bots autofill all inputs. A filled honeypot is a high-confidence signal and should heavily influence scoring.
How to access / enable
- WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Settings
- Challenges/Forms section (varies by build)
- Toggle honeypot ON/OFF.
Recommended setting
Recommended: ON for all forms.
It’s low friction, high signal, and rarely impacts real users.
Why you need this
Admins want strong spam reduction without user-visible challenges—honeypots deliver that.
