Spam Protection 2 Methods

Protect your forms from spam using honeypot traps or built-in CAPTCHA verification.

Method 1: Honeypot Trap

Add a hidden field that spam bots fill in automatically. Real users never see it, so only bots trigger it.

HTML
<!-- Hidden honeypot field — bots fill it, humans don't -->
<input type="text" name="_gotcha"
       style="display:none;" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off">

Method 2: CAPTCHA Protection

Enable our built-in CAPTCHA to block automated submissions. Simply add this hidden field to your form.

HTML
<!-- Enable CAPTCHA protection — requires user verification -->
<input type="hidden" name="_captcha" value="true">
When _captcha is enabled, the CAPTCHA widget appears automatically. Users must complete it before the form can be submitted. The submission is only processed after successful verification.

File Uploads

Let people attach files when they submit.

HTML
<form enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="file" name="uploads[]" multiple>

AJAX / JavaScript

Submit the form without reloading the page.

JavaScript

form.addEventListener('submit', async (e) => {
  e.preventDefault();
  
  const res = await fetch(form.action, {
    method: 'POST',
    body: new FormData(form),
    headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json' }
  });
  
  const data = await res.json();
  
  if (data.success) {
    // Success!
  }
});
Add Accept: application/json header to get JSON response.
