See every featureStill getting spam through your Shopify contact form? SEO pitches, sales emails and fake leads flooding your inbox every day? CAPTCHA not stopping it? MUTE works differently — it detects bots through invisible signals and blocks them silently. No reCAPTCHA, no puzzles, no friction for real customers. Enable from your theme settings. No code. Under a minute. 100 blocks a month, free forever. No credit card required.
Spam floods contact forms even with CAPTCHA enabled - fake SEO offers, "I can help you grow" pitches, and bot submissions burying real customer messages. SpamNest adds layered protection: an invisible honeypot, submission-speed checks, and smart scoring trained on solicitation patterns. Blocked spammers see a normal success message and move on - nothing reaches your inbox.
- One-line install. Enable the app embed from your theme editor — no code.
- Never blocks real humans. Only bot signals are targeted, never genuine users.
- Spam block reports delivered automatically to your email.
- Invisible honeypot and timing checks catch bots before they submit
- Smart scoring blocks spam links and solicitations, not real customers
- Dashboard logs every blocked message with its score and reason
- Add your own blocked keywords and allowlist trusted senders
