Wordpress Plugin

The Clearout WordPress plugin integrates with major WordPress form plugins to validate email addresses in real time upon submission. This helps keep your lists clean, protects sender reputation, and stops bad sign‑ups before they reach your CRM or ESP

With Clearout + WordPress, you can:

• Allow only valid email addresses during registration, subscription, and lead capture.​

• Block spam traps, disposable and fake email addresses.​

• Enforce business/work email addresses on specific forms (for example, demo or trial requests).​

• Optionally block free email providers (gmail.com, yahoo.com, outlook.com, etc.) when required.​

• Reduce fraudulent and bot sign-ups, improving overall data quality.
