 * SMP is fully enabled for all pages.
    Disabled sitemap creation. The post link
   is very long, it’s unrealistic to pick it up. But today one of the posts got 
   a spam comment! How can I send a comment when the blocking mode is on?

 * WordPress supports REST API, which is enabled by default, and many spam bots 
   are using this to post content on your site. I believe this is a case.
 * You can disable REST API access under CMP Advanced settings > [https://imgur.com/a/a7sNMuo](https://imgur.com/a/a7sNMuo)
 * But be careful, many plugins are using REST API to function properly, WooCommerce
   and etc.
