Antispam by CleanTalk

Invisible spam protection for MODX forms: contact, FormIt, sign-up, order and AJAX forms. A CAPTCHA, reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Turnstile and Akismet alternative with no puzzles for visitors. CleanTalk checks the sender in the cloud: email and IP reputation from 1,100,000+ websites, behavior and message text. Blocks bots and hand-typed spam. Works with MODX 3.x and 2.x. 7-day free trial.

Spam protection for MODX forms without CAPTCHA, reCAPTCHA or puzzles.

CleanTalk checks form submissions on your MODX site in the cloud and blocks spam bots before the message reaches you. Visitors fill in your forms as usual, with nothing to solve.

What it protects

• Any front-end form that sends POST data: contact forms, FormIt forms, sign-up and order forms
• AJAX forms
• Optional: forms without an email field

How it decides

CleanTalk checks the sender, not the browser: email and IP reputation collected from 1,100,000+ websites, behavior on the page and the message text. That stops bots and people who type spam by hand. Known spammers get "Forbidden. Sender blacklisted", addresses that do not exist are rejected too, real visitors pass.

A reCAPTCHA alternative

No Google scripts, no challenges, no lost leads at the form. CleanTalk works with your existing FormIt forms: no extra hooks, fields or template changes.
