    Hello, @sayan99.

    The following options will reduce the load on your webserver:

    • WordPress Admin Page → Settings → Anti-Spam by CleanTalk → Advanced settings →
    • → set the option “Use AJAX for JavaScript check” to “Off” →
    • → set the option “Set cookies” to “Off” →
    • → set the option “Add a CleanTalk Pixel to improve IP-detection” to “Off” →
    • → disable the options Anti-Flood and Anti-Crawler → Save Changes.

    If it didn’t help, you can simply disable the SpamFireWall feature entirely as it’s an additional feature, the main part of the Anti-Spam protection will still work.

    Did it help you?

    Thanks, apply the settings worked, now my gtmetrix performance grade has become A rated once again – https://imgtr.ee/image/QgN5W

    But I’d like to know if disabling these above options would decrease the reliability of cleantalk plugin? will it still prevent spam just like before?

    will it still prevent spam just like before?

    Yes, of course. The protection is still working. The settings I mentioned above are optional, the main functions of the CleanTalk plugin continue to work.

    You can test the protection anytime, the guide is here:

    Thank you.
