Comment spam – spam is a headache that users of wordpress and other blogging platforms often encounter. A large amount of spam comments are automatically posted by spam bots. After a while, you will see lots of spam comments popping up. Although you can leave comments by default, they need to be reviewed so they don’t show up. But in the long term, the number will continue to be increasingly difficult to control.
So, in this article, I will guide you to block all spam comments, with Akismet Anti-Spam plugin.

summary
WordPress comment spam is an inconvenience and no solution can block it 100% effectively. The Akismet plugin can block spam comments to an acceptable extent, but it will not completely remove it and sometimes mistakenly block real comments. Therefore, you should check the comments yourself from time to time to avoid missing spam or mistakenly dismissing the real comment.
