Most spam filters make you choose between junk and lost leads.
CAPTCHAs annoy the customers you want. Filters quietly delete messages you never see. And when something goes missing, nobody can tell you why. Cayve was built to fix all three.
No puzzles for people
Cayve reads the submission, the way it was filled in and where it came from. Visitors never check a box or pick out traffic lights.
Held, never lost
When Cayve isn’t sure, the message waits for you with its notification email. Release it and it arrives as if nothing happened.
Every decision explained
Each message gets a score from 0 to 100 and the reasons behind it, written for people, not engineers.
See exactly why a message was stopped.
Cayve looks at dozens of signals: hidden fields bots fill in, links and shorteners, throwaway email addresses, wording common in scams and pitches, and the same message turning up on other websites. Then it tells you what it found, in a sentence anyone can read.
- A score and a category. Real message, spam, scam, SEO outreach, sales pitch or job seeker.
- Two versions of every reason. Plain English for you, technical detail for your developer.
- Only confident blocks. Anything less is held for you, never thrown away.

HeldWe noticed your website is not ranking on the first page and can fix that this week. Reply for a free audit.
Why
- It reads like an SEO or marketing pitch (first page, free audit).
- It asks to be contacted somewhere other than the address given.
- Sent 2 seconds after the form opened, faster than a person can fill it in.
Spam score78 / 100
A held message is one click from your inbox.
Your visitor always sees your normal thank-you message, so spammers learn nothing. The entry is saved as usual; only the notification email waits. Press Release and send in WordPress and it goes out exactly as it would have.
- Held messages wait 90 days for your review.
- Blocked messages are kept 30 days, in case you need one back.
- Your corrections count at once. Release a sender and they’re welcome on your site from then on.

Nothing extra for your visitors to do.
No boxes to check, images to pick or seconds to wait. Cayve works in the background, so your forms stay as short and friendly as you designed them.
- Invisible to visitors. No widget, no badge, no extra step.
- Fast. A form waits a second and a half at most.
- Never in the way. If Cayve can’t be reached, the message goes through and is checked afterwards.
With a CAPTCHA I’m not a robot
With CayveNothing to check, solve or wait for.
Protected in three steps.
Most sites are set up in about ten minutes, with no code.
Add your site
Create a free account with your email address, add your website and create its key.
Install the plugin
Upload the Cayve plugin to WordPress and paste the key. Every supported form is protected straight away.
Watch, then switch on
For a week Cayve records what it would do and lets everything through. When you’re happy, switch protection on.
Everything you need to keep spam out, and nothing that gets in the way.
Shadow mode first
Every new site spends its first week recording what Cayve would do while every message goes through. Switch on when you trust it.
Rules per kind of message
Spam and scams blocked, SEO pitches held, sales pitches and job seekers let through. Change any of it per site.
Seen across the network
When the same message or sender hits other Cayve sites, your site knows within the day, before it reaches you.
Reasons in plain English
Every decision says why: “It contains 6 links”, not “rule 41 matched”. Your team sees the technical detail too.
A daily email, only when needed
One short email when something is waiting for review. Quiet days stay quiet.
Built for teams
Owners, admins and members, each with the right access. Invite as many people as you like.
Ask Cayve
Ask “why was this held?” or “how many did we block this week?” and get a straight answer from your own data.
Signed plugin updates
Every plugin release is signed. A site installs an update only when the signature checks out.
An API for everything else
One POST per submission from any app, any language. The same engine and reasons as the plugin.
Made for whoever looks after the website.
From a single shop’s contact form to an agency’s whole client list.
Agencies
Protect every client site from one account, see which sites are under attack, and stop forwarding spam complaints.
- All client sites in one place
- Pay for checks, not sites
- Plain reasons you can forward to a client
Developers
One POST per submission returns allow, hold or block, a score and the reasons. Use it in any app or framework.
- Test keys with fixed answers
- Idempotent by submission ID
- Feedback endpoint that learns
Ask CayveReads your account, changes nothing
Why was the message from Marcus held?
It scored 52, just over your hold level of 50, mostly because the email address is from a throwaway email service. The text reads like a real delivery question. If it’s a customer, press Release and send under Cayve → Messages in WordPress and the form’s email goes out as normal.
How many did we block this week?
146 blocked and 9 held across your three sites. Most blocks were crypto and link spam on the blog comments.
Ask about your spam in plain words.
Ask Cayve lives in your dashboard. Ask why a message was held, which site gets the most spam, or what changed this week, and it answers from your own account.
- Read-only. It explains and points you to the right button; it can’t change anything.
- Only your account. It sees exactly what you can see, and nothing else.

Questions people ask first
Does Cayve replace reCAPTCHA?
Yes. Cayve checks every submission without asking visitors to do anything. Many owners keep their CAPTCHA during the first week of shadow mode, compare, and then remove it.
What happens if Cayve gets one wrong?
When Cayve isn’t sure, it holds the message for you instead of deleting it, and the visitor still sees your normal thank-you message. Blocked messages are kept for 30 days and can be released. Marking a message as spam or as a real message teaches Cayve on your site straight away.
Will it slow my forms down?
A form waits at most a second and a half for an answer, and usually far less. If Cayve can’t be reached, the submission goes through as normal and is checked afterwards. Your forms never break because of Cayve.
Which websites does it work with?
Any WordPress site, through the plugin: comments, WooCommerce reviews and registrations, and the popular form plugins. Anything else can use the API.
What happens to the messages you check?
Message text, names and email addresses are deleted after 30 days; the decision and its reasons stay. A scrubbed, encrypted copy with personal details removed helps Cayve learn for up to 12 months, and an owner can switch that off at any time.
How is pricing counted?
By checks a month, not by sites or seats. Every plan has every feature. If you go over your allowance, protection stays on: the fast checks keep running and only the deeper checks pause until the month resets.
Stop the spam. Keep every lead.
