Preventing spam in your forms with Sitebite
A contact form is worth its weight in gold for bookings, quotes and questions. But it also attracts spam. Sitebite keeps your inbox clean with AI spam detection and an invisible captcha, so you only see genuine messages from guests.
How Sitebite stops spam
- AI spam detection: every submission is automatically assessed by a smart spam filter before it reaches your inbox.
- Cloudflare Turnstile: a user-friendly captcha that blocks bots, with no annoying puzzles for your guests.
- Inbox with statuses: manage submissions clearly as new, read, or handled.
How to make sure your security is set up right
- Open your form in the form builder.
- Check that the captcha (Turnstile) is active.
- Set per form who receives a notification email for a new submission.
- Manage incoming messages in your inbox.
Extra tips against spam
- Only ask for the fields you really need. Shorter forms get less spam.
- Use clear labels, so genuine guests know what to fill in.
- Check your inbox regularly and mark handled messages.
