Akismet Anti-Spam is what I use. The free version allows you to approve or mark comments as spam.

Use some anti-spam plugin with google captcha in comments,
recaptcha has nothing to do with your website speed as it loads as an iframe

if you have a problem with Google ReCaptcha, you can use this plugin:

Hi all,

I'm getting comment-spammed relentlessly. Like thousands a day.

The thing is I must have the comment section for my visitors to interact, so disabling it is not an option.

I thought of installing Captcha but it slows my website terribly and affects Core Web Vitals score.

I've installed those anti-bot plugin but no help there.

So.... is there a way to block these bots from spamming me?
