Learn what reCaptcha is and why you should easily install a mechanism in the v3 version that doesn't make life difficult for users i.e.: it doesn't force users to click images to confirm authenticity. See how Google's reCaptcha integration in Wordpress for the popular Contact Form 7 forms plugin.
Table of Contents:
If you have a website then an integral part of it are contact forms placed in the form of short sections on the most important sub-pages, e.g.: landingpage type and in the contact sub-page. The reCaptcha security from Google intelligently detects spam and helps protect against mass spamming by robots or bots.
The predecessor to the automated version was V2, which forced the user to guess simple images and search them by key to confirm the authenticity of the message being sent. After checking the 'I'm not a robot' option, an additional box popped up to select, for example: cars, mountains or street crossings on a checkerboard of images. This was quite inconvenient and impractical.
Changes in v3 version of reCaptcha
With the introduction of the latest version, the script runs automatically and in the background. It detects user behavior and evaluates whether a form is sent by a robot or a real user.
