Now we\u2019re bringing that protection to Drupal. The official module is here, built by the team behind Akismet as a native Drupal module. It guards your site with the same spam-fighting service that keeps comments, contact forms, and signups clean across millions of sites.<\/p>\n<h2>Protection where spammers actually go<\/h2>\n<p>Spam doesn\u2019t stop at comments, so neither does the module. Once it\u2019s set up, Akismet checks the forms spammers target most:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Comments<\/li>\n<li>Contact forms<\/li>\n<li>Webform submissions<\/li>\n<li>User registrations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It runs every submission through Akismet in the background and quietly filters the spam out, so you see less of it and your visitors never notice it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n<h2>Built for Drupal, the Drupal way<\/h2>\n<p>We wanted this to feel like a first-class part of your site, not a bolt-on. The module follows modern Drupal conventions, and plays nicely with other anti-spam tools like Honeypot and CAPTCHA if you already use them. It also adds invisible bot-detection signals that catch automated junk before it ever reaches the API.<\/p>\n<h2>Tools for moderators<\/h2>\n<p>For the spam worth a second look, there\u2019s a dedicated review queue and one-click actions on every comment. Each correction goes back to Akismet, so the filter keeps getting smarter about your site. An admin dashboard shows your stats at a glance, and built-in GDPR export and erasure tools make honoring data requests straightforward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-284779\" height=\"508\" src=\"https:\/\/akismet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/screenshot-2026-05-29-at-9.39.09-am.png?w=1024\" width=\"1024\" \/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-markdown\">\n<h2>Getting started<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll need an Akismet API key.

The module needs Drupal 10.3+ and PHP 8.1+, and it\u2019s released under the GPL.
