Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection with AI, on every WordPress site you look after

Security plugins protect the site from inside. What they cannot do is tell you the site is down, that its core files changed on the server, or that a plugin two sites over has a published vulnerability. WebCrew monitors the site 24/7, matches Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection's installed version against the vulnerability databases, and updates it with a restore point when you say go.

What goes wrong

Three things that go wrong on sites running Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection, and what you see instead

Each card is one conversation: what happened, what WebCrew did, and the moment you stepped in.

Spam comments got through on one site and the client blamed us.

WebCrew shows Akismet active but its API key rejected since the client changed their account.
You enter the new key; nothing else on the site changes.
The check now flags a rejected Akismet key on any site the day it happens.

One setting, found in a minute instead of after a complaint.

A site is serving a fake CAPTCHA to visitors.

Core-file integrity finds a changed file and the time it changed.
Alert to you with the file, the diff and the plugin that let it in.
Over SSH we help clean it: file replaced, unknown admin removed, plugin updated, restore point before each step.

Cleanup help, never a guarantee it stays clean.

An administrator account appeared that nobody created.

A new administrator is created on the site.
The check sees it: name, e-mail, time added, on every site you run.
You remove it and rotate the passwords, with the log as your record.

Flagged the moment the check sees it.

Connecting

How to connect a site that runs Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection, and what we recommend

Where the host allows SSH keys, we recommend SSH: every file compared, not only what WordPress reports, and cleanup help when a site is compromised. Where it does not, the connector plugin covers monitoring, updates and Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection's version check in five minutes.

Connector plugin

Upload in wp-admin. No server access needed.

24/7 uptime, health score, versions, administrators
Vulnerability matching and updates with a restore point
One-click login, DNS and mail settings

Five minutes. Remove the plugin and the site is disconnected.

Recommended

SSH

One key, scoped to the site's user on the server.

Everything the connector does
File-level integrity checks and faster updates with a full restore point
Malware cleanup and staging copies, when a site needs them

Ten minutes. The key is revoked from your dashboard at any time.

How connecting works, step by step

Questions

Before you connect an Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection site

Do I still need Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection with WebCrew?

Yes, if it protects the site from inside: a firewall, login limits, malware signatures. WebCrew watches from outside and across all your sites, and adds the file-level check and the vulnerability match.

Does WebCrew remove malware?

If a site is compromised, we help clean it: changed core files replaced, unknown administrators removed, the plugin that let it in updated or removed, with a restore point before each step. Cleanup needs the SSH connection. No tool can guarantee a site stays clean.

Will two security tools conflict?

Monitoring reads; it does not install a firewall or change Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection's rules. The connector and Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection run side by side.

Where do the vulnerability data come from?

Public vulnerability databases, matched against the exact installed version of each plugin on each site.

Do I have to install anything besides Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection?

One of two things: the WebCrew connector plugin, uploaded in wp-admin like any plugin, or one SSH key for the site's own user. Nothing else changes on the site.

Can I use my own Claude or ChatGPT with a site that runs Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection?

Yes. Connect your tool to WebCrew over MCP and ask about the site from your own chat. Reading is instant; changes are made for you, logged, and undone in one click.

What does it cost for a site running Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection?

The first site is free, for as long as you like. Every site after that is billed per site per day, monthly, for the days it was on. Plugins are never counted.

Is my content or Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection's data used to train anything?

No. Your content is never sold and never used to train a model, by WebCrew or by a provider it uses.

What if Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection is a premium plugin with a licence?

It updates through its own licence. WebCrew shows the pending version, takes the restore point first and keeps the code difference, the same as for any other plugin.
