The problem is simple: messages sent through my site’s contact form never reach me. I need a focused functionality review that pinpoints why the form submission workflow is failing and tells me exactly how to fix it. I am only interested in functionality, not design or content. Your job is to test the form end-to-end—on both desktop and mobile—check any client-side validation, follow the data through server-side scripts, and trace the hand-off to SMTP or other mail services. Look for misconfigured headers, spam-filter triggers, DNS or SPF issues, plugin conflicts…anything that could block or drop the email. Please deliver a brief, actionable report that includes: • the precise failure point you discover • steps I can take to reproduce the issue • clear, prioritized recommendations for resolving it (quick fixes first, best-practice improvements second) • notes on any side effects the fix might cause elsewhere on the site I will provide cPanel and SMTP credentials once we begin. No code changes are required at this stage—just an expert diagnosis and a roadmap to get my contact form reliably sending email again.

Hi, I've dealt with silent contact form failures many times—messages vanishing without an error is almost always a server-side mail configuration or DNS authentication issue, and I know exactly where to look. My approach is systematic: I'll submit test entries on desktop and mobile, inspect client-side validation and AJAX handling, then trace the POST data through your server-side scripts to the SMTP handoff. From there, I'll check your DNS records for missing or misconfigured SPF, DKIM, and DMARC entries, review mail headers for spam-filter triggers, and rule out plugin conflicts or PHP mail function failures in cPanel. You'll get a concise report with the exact failure point, reproduction steps, prioritized fixes, and any side-effect notes. I can start immediately once you share the credentials.
