reCAPTCHA for Jetpack enhances your WordPress site’s security by integrating Google reCAPTCHA v3—an invisible, score-based spam filter—with Jetpack contact forms, comments, and WooCommerce registration. Designed for block-based themes (e.g., Full Site Editing), it uses behavioral scoring to block bots seamlessly. Key features:
<ul>
<li>Invisible Protection: Analyzes user behavior (e.g., mouse movements, session duration) to assign a score (0.0–1.0) for contact forms, comments, and WooCommerce registration.</li>
<li>Customizable Threshold: Set a score threshold (default 0.5) to balance spam blocking and user access for all forms.</li>
<li>Conditional Loading: Control where reCAPTCHA loads: on all pages, specific page types (e.g., front page, single posts), or specific slugs. Improves performance by skipping unnecessary pages.</li>
<li>Debug Mode: Toggle console.log output for debugging purposes; disable for production to reduce browser console clutter.</li>
<li>Skip for Logged-in Users (new in 1.17): New checkbox to bypass reCAPTCHA entirely for any logged-in user (admins, customers, members, etc.). Perfect for membership sites where only guests need protection.</li>
<li>Automatic Spam Handling:
<ul>
<li>Form submissions with scores below the threshold are reliably blocked and moved to the Jetpack Feedback CPT spam folder in the admin interface.</li>
<li>Comments with scores below the threshold are automatically moved to the spam folder without triggering approval emails.</li>
<li>New in 1.13 / 1.14: Blocks bot account creation on WooCommerce registration form (including the My Account page).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Submission Stats: Tracks total submissions and logs the last 20 submissions (forms, comments, registration) with scores and status (success/spam) in a streamlined manner.</li>
<li>Jetpack Integration: Requires Jetpack for contact form and comment protection, fully compatible with block-based forms and Jetpack forums.</li>
<li>Email Enhancements: Appends reCAPTCHA scores to form submission emails and comment notification/moderation emails for transparency.</li>
<li>Admin Feedback: Displays reCAPTCHA scores to admins on form success pages and logs detailed debug info for failed submissions.</li>
</ul>
Perfect for modern WordPress sites, this plugin provides robust spam prevention with insightful analytics, ensuring a seamless user experience while keeping your forms, comments, and registrations spam-free.
<h3>External Services</h3>

<ul>
<li>Purpose: Google reCAPTCHA v3 analyzes user behavior to assign a score (0.0–1.0) indicating the likelihood of a user being a bot. This score determines whether form submissions, comments, or registrations are blocked (moved to spam).</li>

<li>When Data is Sent: Data is sent to Google’s API on every Jetpack contact form, comment, or WooCommerce registration submission.</li>

This plugin helps you to declutter your WordPress admin by removing all Jetpack related notices that promote services like the backup services VaultPress, WordPress Apps or Blaze.

Jetpack Without Promotions

WordPress dashboard is a stage for abusive use of screen estate. The fact that Jetpack, a plugin by the company that confuses itself with WordPress, is leading the way in this abusive use is just wrong, a shame really, and setting the wrong example for all plugin and theme authors.

WordPress urgently needs a way to put this nags where they belong: the plugin/theme specific settings page or some kind of notification center.

Thank you Required for helping to clean up. It is not a definitive solution but it is a welcome panacea.
