How to Stop Form Spam on Squarespace
Public Squarespace form blocks can be recognised by automated tools. If your forms are collecting unwanted submissions, an added filtering layer can be installed through Squarespace code injection.
Why Squarespace forms attract spam
Squarespace form blocks render on public pages, where automated tools can find and submit to them without a person browsing the site.
If the native controls do not provide the reputation, content, or review settings you need, an added layer can evaluate those signals.
Layered filtering via code injection
SpamShield evaluates supported submissions using sender reputation, content, behaviour, and optional AI. Configured thresholds determine which submissions are blocked.
It installs through Squarespace code injection. Borderline submissions are quarantined for review, and evaluated decisions include a readable reason.

Frequently asked questions
SpamShield evaluates form, sign-up, and review submissions using reputation, content, behaviour, and optional AI signals. Configured thresholds determine which submissions are blocked, while borderline submissions stay available for review. Any automated classification can be wrong, so test the setup and review uncertain decisions. It does not place a visible CAPTCHA on the protected form.
