In this video we share a rule we use at to reduce contact form spam using Cloudflare firewall rules. We don't like using captchas or reCaptcha because they're heavy and slow and just not great for site speed and core web vitals. Removing them will make your site faster but will dramatically increase spam. In the video we give you a Cloudflare rule that will filter traffic outside your home country reducing spam dramatically. The rule is setup to filter traffic outside Australia but in your case you may need to edit that for your country or continent. Here's two version of the rule logic you can copy and paste into your Cloudflare account. **Simple Rule** (not in {"AU"} and not ) **More Advanced with Exclusions for our SEO/SEM tools** (not in {"AU"} and not and not contains "opteo" and not contains "truclicks" and not contains "siteliner" and not contains "screaming" and ne "surfer")
