Raptcha is an innovative CAPTCHA alternative that challenges users to count animals in a dynamic image, promoting accessibility and user engagement. Unlike text-based CAPTCHAs, it uses engaging visuals (cats, dogs, birds) with randomized placements and scales for enhanced security.
Key features:
<ul>
<li>Animal Counting Challenges: Randomized images with 1-10 animals, ensuring varied difficulty.</li>
<li>Bot Detection Heuristics: Advanced checks (drag time, mouse distance, focus duration) to prevent automated submissions.</li>
<li>Form Integrations: Native support for WordPress comments, login forms, and popular plugins (Contact Form 7, Kadence Forms, Ninja Forms).</li>
<li>Shortcode Integration: Easily embed with <code>[raptcha]</code> for custom forms.</li>
<li>Fully Secured: Nonce verification, transients for challenge storage, and sanitization throughout.</li>
</ul>
This plugin prioritizes privacy, security and usability, making it a in-house, private, modern alternative to traditional CAPTCHAs.

Raptcha


It works as advertised. That said I would love 2 extra features to be added:



1. For at least the Comments form, or any form to that matter the Raptcha should not appear for logged in users.



2. We need support for the Log in/out core block when the block is configured to be displayed as a form and not as just a link. It would be great for the themes that use the Log in/out block in their footers. At this point, the Raptcha does not appear and even if you have entered the correct credentials it loads the actual WP login page and you have to go through the login process again.



Great job and thank you for this plugin.


Absolutely a Five Star Plugin !

A secure, animal-based CAPTCHA for WordPress forms featuring intelligent bot detection and multi-form integrations.

Codersly

Codersly Visitor Tracker is a privacy-aware WordPress Visitor Tracking Plugin that helps site owners understand how visitors, pages, referrers, devices, and bots interact with their website from inside the WordPress admin area.
The plugin records visitor activity in a dedicated custom database table and displays useful visitor analytics through a dashboard and searchable visitor list.

Codersly Visitor Tracker is built for WordPress site owners, bloggers, developers, agencies, and small businesses who need lightweight visitor tracking, local visitor logs, bot detection, referrer tracking, and basic traffic insights directly in WordPress.
The plugin is free and fully functional. All included features are available immediately after activation.

What can you track?
Codersly Visitor Tracker can record key visitor analytics data such as page path, landing page, current page, referrer, referrer host, browser name, user agent, IP address, visit time, and bot-detection fields. If approximate location lookup is enabled by the site administrator, the plugin may also store approximate location fields returned by the configured GeoIP provider.
Privacy-focused local analytics
This WordPress visitor tracking plugin stores visitor data locally in your WordPress database. It does not send visitor analytics data to Codersly. Approximate location lookup is disabled by default and only runs when the site administrator enables it.
<h3>Optional add-on information</h3>
A separate Codersly Visitor Tracker Pro add-on may be available from Codersly outside WordPress.org. That separate add-on is not included in this WordPress.org plugin package.
The free plugin may show informational add-on screens, similar to feature comparison pages, so site administrators can see which additional screens are provided by the separate add-on. These screens are informational only: they do not include disabled controls, hidden feature code, license gates, report engines, export actions, campaign tracking engines, live monitoring engines, or cleanup actions.
The separate add-on may provide additional admin screens and workflows such as advanced analytics, live visitor monitoring, campaign reports, export tools, and data cleanup tools. These add-on features are provided by a separate plugin package outside WordPress.org and are not part of this submitted free plugin.

<h3>Privacy</h3>
This plugin stores visitor data locally in the WordPress database. It may store visitor IP address, user agent, page path, referrer, browser name, approximate location fields, visit time, and bot-detection fields.
The plugin does not send visitor analytics data to Codersly.
Approximate location lookup is disabled by default. If the site administrator enables approximate location lookup, the visitor IP address may be sent in the background to an external GeoIP provider selected by the plugin/provider filter. The result is cached locally to reduce repeated requests.
Site owners are responsible for updating their privacy policy and obtaining any consent required by their local laws before enabling tracking or external location lookup.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin can optionally connect to external GeoIP services to look up approximate visitor city/country from an IP address. This feature is disabled by default and only runs when the site administrator enables approximate location lookup.
When enabled, the visitor IP address is sent to the selected GeoIP provider during a background lookup after a visit is recorded. The service returns approximate location data such as country, city, latitude and longitude when available.
Supported GeoIP providers:
<ul>
<li>ipwho.is – used for approximate IP location lookup. Terms: https://ipwhois.io/terms, Privacy Policy: https://ipwhois.io/privacy</li>
<li>ip-api.com – optional approximate IP location lookup provider. Terms: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal, Privacy Policy: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal</li>
<li>DB-IP – optional approximate IP location lookup provider. Terms: https://db-ip.com/tos.php, Privacy Policy: https://db-ip.com/privacy.php</li>
</ul>
