A Lightweight Contact Form You Can Trust + awesome dev
I've used his plugins before, paid and unpaid, and they are just top quality across the board. With so many endless bloated form plugins, this is like a stiletto cutting through the muck. And now it has support for Cloudflare Turnstile! Keeping it completely up to date. I have no idea why it doesn't have 10k downloads, but it should.

Amazing plugin - Contact X best form ever
I discovered something amazing about this contact X plugin that I had not been aware of when I installed it. It drops the most recent 10 messages into your wordpress dashboard! What a brilliant idea. In fact, I had probably deleted an important message by mistake from my email account, only to luckily find a copy posted on my dashboard. Talk about save the day. That’s how I discovered this terrific feature. What an excellent idea. I would highly recommend this plugin to anyone who wants to really know what’s going on in their own web site.

Just amazing
What a great plugin. I'm just so tired of all the other contact forms, all bloated, loading their own styles. And then I saw this gem. Simple, yet powerful. Has anti-spam integrated, which, unfortunately, it's mandatory to have nowadays Registers all email in the database, including if the user agreed to the terms, mandatory for GDPR reasons. Doesn't force its own UI. Following WP guidelines. Amazing. Just amazing.
