MUTE

MUTE adds a single line of JavaScript to a contact‑form page, creating an invisible field that only automated bots fill. The script detects these hidden‑field submissions in real time and blocks them before they reach the inbox, while legitimate human entries pass through unchanged. Each month a report is emailed to the site owner, summarizing the number of blocked attempts.

The tool is aimed at website owners or administrators who receive unwanted marketing messages through their contact forms and want a low‑maintenance solution. It requires no CAPTCHA or user interaction, and the setup consists solely of pasting the provided script into the page containing the form.

What distinguishes MUTE is its “zero‑friction” approach: the invisible trap works silently in the background, eliminating the need for manual filter adjustments or form closures. The service is offered with a free 14‑day trial and a modest monthly fee, and it emphasizes security and simplicity in its design.
