As soon as you add forms or comment functions to your website, you open the gates for spammers. To avoid being flooded with spam messages, you need a solid anti-spam solution. Cleantalk is a proven solution to this problem. A visitor entry is checked by Cleantalk and only released if a spam bot can be excluded. From our experience, the solution works 100% flawlessly.
Anti-Spam
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) must, of course, be observed when operating a website – especially when using software that collects and analyzes user data – including, for example, the visitor’s IP address. To be on the safe side here, the use of a cookie banner is always necessary when a visitor cookie is set for this purpose. Borlabs is probably the most widely used software in Germany and offers all the necessary functions.
With Borlabs Cookie Opt-in you get an easy to use plugin for WordPress that allows you to integrate cookies e.g. retargeting cookies like from Google AdSense via opt-in. Only when a visitor gives his consent, the JavaScript is activated and the cookie is set, thus complying with the General Data Protection Regulation.

When it comes to website security, the use of a so-called web application firewall is a good choice to block attacks. Already the free version of Wordfence offers sufficient protection, for an extended protection the paid version can be used, which among other things works with real-time firewall rules (the free version only with 30-day old rules).
In addition to the firewall function, Wordfence regularly scans for vulnerabilities and irregularities on the website and offers the possibility to secure the login to WordPress with 2-factor authentication.
Security
Whenever more complex scenarios need to be mapped, the use of Crocoblock makes sense. Especially the use of Jet Engine to create so-called “Custom Post Types” is useful in many cases. For example, the real estate agent only has to fill out a form with the details of the property and a post of this property is created and displayed on the website – it couldn’t be easier.
But also the use of the other tools for creating filters, searches, mega menus or special effects on the website are worth the purchase.
