Our incredibly lightweight contact form is a solid addition to Stop Spammers Premium for a variety of reasons. If your top priority is a simple contact form optimized for page speed and security, ours will do the trick. Like a car that’s focus is getting you from A to B safely, our minimalist form is easy to enable on any page, post, widget, or custom post type with our shortcode and will instantly start taking and delivering messages from visitors to your website.
Avoid the Convoluted Setup of other Forms
Many form plugins today have their own visual builders and suite of settings that require a learning curve. But most websites only require one form (contact), making the investment of deploying a performance-heavy form builder not worthwhile. Everything in our form is designed to seamlessly function out of the box. Styles are inherited from WordPress. Emails are sent to the admin email which is set in your WordPress General Settings.
An Attention to Page Speed
Page load times are invaluable to your website. Visitors don’t have the patience to sit around and wait painstaking seconds for resources to load. Speed is such an important aspect of every website that it is now a critical part of search engine optimization (SEO). With our form, there are no extra CSS stylesheets; there is no overhead. There is only one file.
An Attention to Security
The contact form is one of the biggest points of vulnerability with a website. Many plugins, if they consider security, opt to offer integration with captcha. We took a intrusive route to securing your form. In keeping with our Honeypot All Things strategy, we have integrated our contact form with our proprietary honeypot. There’s no backend work required of you to generate API keys, for example, and there’s no frontend work from your visitors to solve a riddle, complete a checkbox, etc.
Customizable Contact Form
Native to WordPress is its Additional CSS field in the Appearance >> Customize section that allows you to style your website without the hassles of creating a child theme or adding several plugins. You can leverage this field to quickly style the contact form to meet your requirements and to match the look and feel of your brand. We include some examples below, but if you are a Professional Pass or an All Access Pass customer, we can style the form on your behalf.
Examples
- Hide the optional phone field:
p#phone {display:none;}</li>
- Make the input background purple and the text white:
#ssp-contact-form input { background: purple !important; color: white! important;}
You can see how the form looks it in the sidebar to the right of this post (under the post on mobile). After activating Stop Spammers Premium on your website, simply add this shortcode where you want the contact form to display: ssp-contact-form. Make sure to add the shortcode brackets [ ].
