Akismet is a plugin for WordPress that helps prevent comment spam on websites. It uses an advanced algorithm to analyze comments and filter out any that appear to be spam, while allowing legitimate comments to be posted.
The plugin is developed by Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, and comes pre-installed on WordPress.org installations. While Akismet is not perfect, it is a useful tool for reducing the amount of spam that website owners have to deal with.
