 * Hello,
 * I’m considering using your plugin, but first I have two questions which I didn’t
   see covered in the description of your plugin, so I am asking here:
 * 1) Is your Anti-Spam system compatible with caching plugins? In other words, 
   if the comment form is found on a cached post or page, will your Anti-Spam system
   work as it would normally? Same question for cached contact forms…
 * 2) Does your Anti-Spam system operate entirely locally, without leaving my own
   server? In other words, can I be assured that the comments and metadata of my
   visitors won’t be shared either with you or with any third party?
 * Thank you in advance!

 * The free community version only handles comments so I will answer that here. 
   For contact forms that is a pro feature and forum rules do not permit pro pre-
   sales support but you are welcome to ask on [https://fullworksplugins.com](https://fullworksplugins.com)

 * Yes, it should do, but always worth testing.

 * Correct. As written in the readme “This free plugin does not collect, process
   or send any website visitor personal data anywhere”
   In future versions there 
   will be an opt-in ( as per WordPress.org guidelines ) to be able to share spam/
   ham data from contact forms, but the default will always no sharing. ( or it 
   wouldn’t be allowed here )

 * Thought I’d share this screenshot from my own site stats, my own site is heavily
   cached with Litespeed Cache and QUIC-CDN
   The ‘Comments-Bot’ stopped is the ‘free’
   component – as you can see itis letting very few through to the next level
