SPAM NEVER STOPS.
Start with your site.
── MUTE : Good for the world.
Still getting spam through your contact form? Tons of junk flooding your inbox every day?
Every day, countless WordPress site owners open their inbox to find it buried under fake inquiries, promotional garbage, and suspicious links — all submitted through their own contact form. Real customer messages get lost. You waste time sorting through it all. And no matter how many times you delete them, the spam just keeps getting sent again.
MUTE is a spam blocker that puts an end to that — silently, automatically, and without making your real visitors jump through any hoops.
Problemet du troligtvis brottas med
Du är inte ensam. Det här är situationer vi hör om varje dag:
- You run a restaurant. Your contact form was meant for customer inquiries — but every time you open it, it’s full of scam emails and unsolicited sales links. Exhausting before the day even starts.
- Du hanterar en e-handelswebbplats. Ditt förfrågningsformulär begravs under skräppost varje natt. Riktiga kundfrågor fortsätter att skjutas bakåt och svarstiderna försämras.
- Du driver en salong. Ett meddelande från en ny klient går förlorat bland skräppost. När du svarar har de redan gått vidare.
- Du jobbar med försäljning på ett litet företag. Varje morgon silar du igenom virusinfekterade länkar och skumma erbjudanden bara för att hitta den ena riktiga lead som kom in över natten.
- Your team has started ignoring the contact form because it’s mostly junk — sales pitches, phishing emails, fraudulent messages. Real customer needs go unanswered.
- You added CAPTCHA to stop the spam. Customers complained it was frustrating to use, inquiries dropped — and it’s not really helping anyway. The spam kept coming.
- You’ve tried other anti-spam plugins. Bots still slip through. The junk never stops.
- People keep trying to sell you SEO services and marketing tools through your contact form. Every morning, your inbox is full of sales pitches instead of real customer messages.
Bots (automated programs) are constantly crawling the web, hunting for unprotected contact forms to exploit. Once they find yours, the fake submissions keep getting sent again and again. Standard solutions like CAPTCHA ask your real visitors to prove they’re human — that friction costs you leads.
Det finns ett bättre sätt.
Hur MUTE löser det
MUTE works as a silent spam blocker running in the background of your site. It detects bot behavior before a form is ever submitted — no puzzles, no checkboxes, no interruption for real visitors.
Så fungerar det:
- A lightweight script loads automatically on every page of your site
- It monitors form activity using multiple detection layers — honeypot traps, behavioral analysis, and browser checks
- Bots are identified and blocked before their fake submissions ever reach your inbox
- Real visitors experience absolutely nothing different — their messages go through normally
Resultatet: din inkorg innehåller bara riktiga förfrågningar från riktiga personer.
Vad som förändras efter att du installerar MUTE
- The restaurant owner who dreaded opening the contact form can now check it without stress — every message there is a real inquiry.
- E-handelsteamet som alltid låg efter med svar kan nu svara snabbt på riktiga kundfrågor. Bättre svarstider, bättre service.
- The salon staff who worried about missing a new client’s message can now reply with confidence — every message that arrives is real.
- The sales team member who wasted every morning sorting through junk can now get to real leads immediately. More time for actual work.
- Staff who had lost trust in the contact form now check it every day — because they know what’s there is genuine.
- Riktiga besökare möter aldrig en CAPTCHA. Ditt formulär förblir smidigt och enkelt att använda.
Ditt kontaktformulär gör det det alltid var avsett att göra: koppla dig direkt med riktiga kunder. Att kontrollera det går från en börda till en naturlig del av dagen.

Krav
A free MUTE account is required. Sign up at mute-it.com — no credit card required. The free plan covers up to 100 blocks per month; past that, blocking pauses until the 1st of the next month. A $3.00/month plan removes the limit.
Externa tjänster
This plugin connects to an external service operated by Ryu-Raku Inc. to provide spam detection and account management features. It is required for the plugin to function.
What is sent, when, and why:
- Your site’s domain — sent on every admin page load (cached for up to 1 hour) to https://api.mute-it.com/wp/status, to retrieve your plan status and monthly block count for display in the WordPress admin panel.
- A loader script — https://api.mute-it.com/client.js is loaded on your public pages so that bot detection can run in the visitor’s browser.
- A verification token — when a form is submitted, a one-time token is sent to https://api.mute-it.com/verify to confirm the submission came from a page protected by MUTE.
- The IP address of a blocked submission — when a submission is identified as bot-generated, the sender’s IP address and your site’s domain are sent to https://api.mute-it.com/report-spam-ip. This is used to protect other sites from the same bot. The IP address is retained for 90 days and then deleted automatically.
We do not collect or transmit the contents of your form submissions, the names, email addresses, or messages of the people who contact you, or any other visitor data beyond what is listed above.

Vanliga frågor
-
Min inkorg är full av skräppost från mitt kontaktformulär. Kan MUTE hjälpa?
-
Yes — that’s exactly the problem MUTE is designed to solve. Once installed and activated, MUTE silently blocks bot-generated spam before it ever reaches your inbox. There is no warmup period — blocking begins as soon as the plugin is active.
-
Behöver jag ett konto?
-
Yes. A free MUTE account is required. Sign up at mute-it.com — no credit card needed. The free plan covers up to 100 blocks per month.
-
Kommer det att påverka riktiga besökare eller skada min konverteringsgrad?
-
No. Real visitors submitting your forms are never affected. Unlike CAPTCHA, MUTE adds zero friction — your visitors won’t see any puzzles, checkboxes, or delays. Only bots are blocked.
-
Fungerar det med Contact Form 7?
-
Yes. MUTE works with Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Elementor Forms, Ninja Forms, Jetpack Forms, and any other contact form plugin that uses standard HTML forms and JavaScript.
-
Behöver jag konfigurera något efter installationen?
-
No. Once you’ve activated the plugin and connected your MUTE account, it works automatically. There are no settings to configure and no rules to set up.
-
Fungerar det på multisite?
-
Varje webbplats (domän) kräver sitt eget MUTE-konto. Om du driver flera webbplatser under olika domäner, registrera ett separat konto för var och en.
-
What happens when I reach the free monthly limit?
-
The free plan covers up to 100 blocks per calendar month. Once you pass that, blocking pauses for the rest of the month and your WordPress admin panel shows a prompt to upgrade. The count resets on the 1st of each month and blocking restarts automatically. Your contact forms keep working either way.
-
Kan jag avbryta när som helst?
-
Yes. From the MUTE dashboard you can either cancel your subscription (billing stops, you stay on the free plan) or close your account entirely at mute-it.com.
-
I’m getting spam even with reCAPTCHA enabled. Will MUTE help?
-
Yes. MUTE uses a completely different detection method and does not interfere with existing CAPTCHA setups. Instead of asking visitors to solve puzzles, it identifies bots through invisible signals in how the form is used.
-
I just launched my site and I’m already getting spam. How soon does MUTE start working?
-
MUTE starts blocking bots as soon as you activate the plugin and connect your account. No warmup period needed.
-
Will MUTE stop SEO and marketing sales pitches from coming through my form?
-
If those messages are sent by bots — and most of them are — MUTE will block them. Messages submitted manually by a real person will always get through.
-
Are there cases where MUTE won’t work?
-
MUTE protects forms rendered directly on your page. It does not support forms embedded via iframe (e.g., JotForm, Typeform, Cognito Forms). If you use dynamic forms loaded by SPA frameworks (React, Vue, Next.js) or forms replaced by A/B testing tools, MUTE may not function correctly. Please verify compatibility on the free plan before subscribing.
Note: Some plugins (e.g., Elementor) can load forms dynamically in popups or via Ajax. These configurations should be verified on the free plan.
