Feature
Min seconds to submit — Adds score if a form submits too quickly after page load, which is a common bot pattern.
How it works
AegisSpamGuard tracks a timestamp/token on supported forms and compares it to submission time. Faster-than-human submits get a score bump.
How to access / enable
- WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Settings
- Site-wide protection / Behavior section (varies by build)
- Set “Min seconds to submit”.
Recommended setting
Recommended: 3 seconds default; use 5+ for longer forms.
Longer forms take time; raising this reduces false positives on multi-field forms.
Why you need this
Admins use this to catch automated submissions that bypass simple honeypots.
