1,361 bots. 54 real people.
37 seconds Keeping a site healthy after launch
If your contact form fills up with junk, you’re not the only one. The fix isn’t a better spam folder. It’s stopping bots before anything is sent.
In ten days in September 2026, the contact forms we build and host stopped 1,361 bot submissions, and 54 real messages went straight through. Every form carries a signed key from the page it loaded on, anything sent within three seconds is refused, and nothing is thrown away, so a real message caught by mistake can be recovered.
Transcript
One thousand, three hundred sixty-one bots. Fifty-four real people.
Every form on a site we build hits a gate on our server first.
The bots bounce off. Real messages go straight to the inbox.
Three checks, before anything is even sent.
Every form carries a key from its own page.
Sent in under three seconds? Refused. Nobody's that fast.
Then a spam check, same rules on every site.
And nothing gets thrown away, so a real message caught by mistake can still be recovered.
Your inbox should hold customers, not bots.
We can put the same gate on your website.
