Comment spam, handled in WordPress’s own queue
Cayve checks every comment as it’s posted and uses WordPress’s own moderation, so you keep the workflow you know and lose the junk.
Your readers deserve the comment section
Comment forms are an easy target: link drops, scraped compliments with a URL attached, and pharmacy or crypto pitches posted by the thousand.
Leaving them up hurts your site’s credibility. Moderating them by hand takes time you’d rather spend writing. Cayve takes the obvious ones off your plate and shows you why.

Why
- It promotes cryptocurrency or trading (crypto signals, guaranteed returns).
- It uses a link shortener, which hides where the link really goes.
- The same message was sent to 31 other websites in the last day.
- This form normally sends Cayve's security token, but this message didn't. It was most likely sent straight to your server by a program.
How Cayve handles it
Someone comments
WordPress hands the comment to Cayve before deciding whether to publish it.
Cayve decides
Links, wording, the commenter’s email and network, and whether the same text is hitting other sites.
WordPress does the rest
Real comments follow your usual rules, unsure ones wait in moderation, spam goes to the Spam folder.
What you get
Uses your moderation queue
Held comments sit unpublished in Comments → Pending, exactly where you already look.
Learns from your clicks
Approve a comment or move it out of Spam and Cayve learns that on your site.
Spots campaigns
The same comment posted across many Cayve sites in a day is flagged as a campaign.
Link-aware
Shortened links, hidden link markup and known spam patterns weigh against a comment.
WooCommerce reviews too
Product reviews use the same comment system, so they’re protected the same way.
No CAPTCHA
Readers just comment. Nothing to solve.
Works with what’s already on your site
Each integration switches itself on when the plugin it protects is installed. There is nothing to set up per form.
Questions
Does Cayve replace Akismet?
It can. Cayve covers comments plus forms, reviews and sign-ups in one place, with reasons for every decision. Many sites run only Cayve.
Where do held comments go?
Into WordPress’s own moderation queue (pending), so they are never published until you approve them.
What about comments from cached pages?
A comment from a page cached before Cayve was installed isn’t held just because it lacks Cayve’s page token.
