Fixing a Contact Form That Has Stopped Working

Has your business's contact form stopped working? Your visitors are submitting their inquiries, but their messages never reach you? This critical technical failure can be extremely costly in lost business opportunities and missed qualified leads. The good news: express service with a guaranteed fix.

As a web developer specializing in troubleshooting, I work throughout Île-de-France (Paris, Yvelines, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-et-Marne, Val-de-Marne, Seine-Saint-Denis, Essonne, Val-d'Oise) and remotely anywhere in France.

Diagnosing the failure: critical contact form symptoms

  • Ghost messages: no email received despite repeated tests
  • Blocking errors: error messages or endless loading after submission
  • Fake form: the submission seems to succeed, but nothing is actually processed
  • Faulty reCAPTCHA: anti-spam validation blocked or not working
  • Post-migration failures: malfunctions after an update or a change of host
  • Massive spam: a hijacked form generating junk messages

Supported platforms

  • WordPress: Contact Form 7, WPForms, Elementor Pro, Gravity Forms, theme forms
  • Custom PHP websites: hand-coded forms, custom integrations
  • Laravel/Symfony: forms with validation, complex SMTP setups
  • Shared hosting: OVH, o2switch, IONOS, Infomaniak, LWS
  • Various CMSs: Shopify, PrestaShop, hybrid solutions

Technical fixes I routinely carry out

  • Faulty SMTP configuration: Gmail, Outlook, Sendinblue, MailJet, dedicated servers
  • Critical PHP errors: plugin conflicts, incompatible versions, insufficient memory
  • JavaScript/reCAPTCHA integration: client-side validation, misconfigured reCAPTCHA
  • Broken redirects: thank-you pages, submission confirmations
  • Compromised security: hijacked forms, SQL injections, automated spam
  • Restrictive hosting: email quotas, server restrictions, misconfigured DNS

FAQ – Frequently asked questions

 I'm not technical. How can I test whether my form works?  

Fill out your own form using an email address you check. If no message arrives or the form doesn't display anything, it's broken.

 Do you need FTP or admin access?  

Yes, I need access to the website's files or the back office to fix the form. I work in complete confidentiality.

 Do you also fix forms whose messages end up in spam?  

Yes, I can properly configure the headers and SMTP authentication (SPF, DKIM), or use an external service (Brevo, Mailgun...)
