The amount of spam a Wix site receives depends on a number of factors, including the type of site, the amount of traffic it gets, and how well it’s designed. There are a number of things you can do to reduce the amount of spam your Wix site receives:

1. Use a Captcha

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

A captcha is a program that can tell whether or not a user is human. Captchas are often used to prevent bots from submitting forms.

They can be Effective at stopping spam, but they can also be annoying to users. If you decide to use a captcha, make sure it’s not too difficult to solve.

2. Use Akismet

Akismet is a service that helps you filter spam comments on your blog. It’s free for personal use and paid for business use. Akismet is effective at stopping spam, but it can sometimes mistakenly flag legitimate comments as spam.

PRO TIP: If you are receiving spam on your Wix website, there are a few things you can do to stop it. First, you can try to block the sender’s IP address. To do this, go to the Wix admin panel and click on “Settings.” Then, click on “Blocked IP Addresses” and enter the IP address you want to block. You can also try to use a CAPTCHA system on your website. This will require users to enter a code before they can submit a form or leave a comment. Finally, you can contact Wix support and they will help you investigate the issue further.

3. Disable Comments

If you’re not using comments on your Wix site, you can disable them altogether. This will stop all comments, including spam comments. Disabling comments may not be an option if you’re using a blog or forum on your site.

4. Moderate Comments

If you’re using comments on your Wix site, you can moderate them so that all comments must be approved before they’re published. This will stop most spam comments from being published, but it won’t stop them from being submitted.
