    Hi Matthias,

    I have checked the FAQs and the support forum, but to no avail. So maybe you can give a hint:

    I get the following spam. I am quite sure its no real spam, but despite some tests, I could not easily find out which request is responsible. Do you have a tip on the easiest way to find out?
    Of course, it would be best if the trigger was contained directly in the spam message, if possible.

    Kind regards,

    Thomas

    Hi Thomas.

    It is not easy to investigate that issue without knowing your page.

    These ?meaningless messages“ may origin from shopping carts, language selectors, consent banners, visitor counters, or any other type of implicit/ automated user interaction that is triggered by a bot, or by a user that is leaving your page very quick, thus the proof of work stamp isn‘t delivered.

    If you post me the respective page, I may have a look on the possible cause.

    Reading that, I wonder whether it would help, to log the information of the sites path where the spam stems from..

    Cheers,

    Matthias
