Questions the author answers
How effective is the anti-spam protection?
Titan blocks automated spam comments generated by spam bots using background filtering techniques and behavioral analysis.
Manual spam submitted directly through a browser may still require moderation. You can combine Titan with comment moderation settings for additional control.
Does Titan block spam from contact forms?
Titan protects the WordPress comment form only.
If you are receiving spam through contact forms, feedback forms, or third-party form plugins, those forms require their own spam protection mechanism.
Does Titan block brute force login attempts?
Yes. Titan includes login protection that limits failed login attempts and locks out suspicious activity. You can configure retry limits, lockout duration, and trusted IP addresses.
How does the anti-spam filtering work?
Titan uses multiple invisible validation techniques that operate in the background without interrupting real visitors.
These include behavioral checks, hidden field validation, and automated spam pattern detection.
The goal is to block spam comments without requiring captcha or affecting legitimate users.
Does Titan require JavaScript to work?
Titan works even if JavaScript is disabled.
In rare cases where JavaScript is unavailable, users may be required to complete a minimal validation step before submitting a comment.
Can I see how many spam comments were blocked?
Yes. Titan displays the total number of blocked spam comments in the WordPress admin area.
You can show or hide this counter using the Screen Options panel.

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
