Stop Spam on Wix Contact Forms

Wix makes it easy to publish a website and add a contact form, but its built-in spam protection stops well short of what most site owners actually need. Basic keyword filters and reCAPTCHA challenges let plenty of junk through while frustrating real visitors. FormShield fills that gap with AI-powered content analysis that runs silently behind every submission — no CAPTCHA, no friction, no spam in your inbox.

Key Points

1

Wix's built-in filtering has real limits

Wix offers basic spam filtering and an optional reCAPTCHA toggle, but neither analyzes the actual content of a message. Sophisticated spam — fake inquiries, SEO link drops, phishing attempts — sails right through because it looks like a real submission on the surface.

2

Add FormShield via custom code embed

Wix supports custom HTML and JavaScript embeds through its Velo platform. Drop the FormShield snippet into your page's custom code, intercept the form submission event, and route it through the API before Wix processes it. No platform migration required.

3

Simple API endpoint setup

FormShield is a single REST endpoint. Send the message body as a POST request, receive a spam or ham verdict with a confidence score in under 200ms, and block or pass the submission accordingly. One API key, one endpoint, works anywhere.

4

FormShield vs Wix's native filtering

Wix's native tools are binary — spam or not — and rely on outdated heuristics. FormShield uses an AI model trained on real spam patterns and returns a confidence score, so you can tune your threshold and send borderline messages to a review queue instead of the trash.
