Akismet was first launched in 2005 by the makers of WordPress. When activated, it filters spam from a website based on information gathered from all websites on which the plugin is activated. Spam is filtered from contact forms and comments sections.
Lucky for you, Akismet is super easy to setup and use. Akismet is offered using a freemium Country Email List pricing model, so the plugin itself is free to download and use with the option to upgrade to a premium plan for more features. In any case, to get started you’ll need to first install the plugin.
Install Akismet
Simply log into your WordPress installation and navigate to Plugins > Add New. Akismet should be one of the first recommended plugins, just click on the Install Now and then Activate button.
Once the plugin is active you should see a notice bar at the top of your screen to Set up your Akismet account. Click on the big blue button to get started.
Log into Akismet with WordPress.com Account
This will take you to the main Akismet website where you’ll be prompted to login with your WordPress.com account (or create a new account if you don’t have one). Then after authorizing Akismet you’ll have the option to select a plan:
Akismet Basic, Free: Includes comment spam protection for your personal WordPress powered website
Akismet Plus, $5/mo: Spam protection plus advanced stats, support for commercial websites (like your business site) and priority support
Akismet Enterprise, $50/mo: Same great features as Plus but for large, high-traffic websites.
Akismet API Key
Once you select a plan you’ll be taken to checkout then to a confirmation screen with your very own Akismet API key.
Connect Akismet API
Copy this 12-digit key, head back to your WordPress dashboard and paste in your key to finish linking your Akismet account to your website.
