<h2>Increase security without changing your site</h2>
<p>There are plenty of security extensions, so <strong>why should you choose this one?</strong></p>
<p>Invisible reCaptcha has been built with three major aims:</p>
<ol>
<li>Fight bots <strong>without changing</strong> your website layout <strong> or requiring any action</strong> from the end user.</li>
<li>Be <strong>as simple as possible</strong> to set up. Starting from scratch, you’ll be ready in <strong>less than 10 minutes</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Not weigh down</strong> your pages: only a 4KB javascript file (no jQuery-dependent), and only where needed.</li>
</ol>
<p>It’s developed by <a href="https://lcweb.it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LCweb</a>: creating the best WordPress premium plugins since 2012.</p>
<h2 id="h-top-3-features">The security system you prefer</h2>
<p>The choice is yours:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><strong>Google reCaptcha v2</strong> – eventually asking for a popup puzzle solve</li>
<li><strong>Google reCaptcha v3</strong> – totally passive</li>
<li><strong>Honey-pot</strong> – doesn’t rely on any third-party library, being super-fast and <strong>GDPR-proof</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>All of them are <strong>totally free</strong> to be used. No extra subscription is needed!</p>
<h2>Complete forms coverage</h2>
<p>Choose whether to use it on <strong>one/all of these contexts</strong>:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>WordPress login forms</li>
<li>WordPress registration forms</li>
<li>WordPress password reset form</li>
<li>WooCommerce login form</li>
<li>WooCommerce registration form</li>
<li>WooCommerce password reset form</li>
<li>WooCommerce checkout form</li>
<li>WooCommerce checkout (Gutenberg block)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Prevent brute-force attacks</h2>
<p>What if traditional anti-spam measures <strong>aren’t enough?</strong> Bot behavior is similar to that of real users; the ultimate solution is to prevent unlimited submissions.</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Tracks any server activity linked to the above-listed form submissions</li>
<li>Sets a submission limit that blocks further actions for a specified period</li>
<li>Prevents server outages caused by repeated attempts</li>
<li>Prevents bots from guessing credentials and improves website security</li>
</ul>
<h2>Refused interactions log</h2>
<p>Discover how your security <strong>works behind the scenes</strong>. This extension tracks every failed attempt, helping you understand and strengthen your site’s defenses.</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Logs every failed anti-spam or reCAPTCHA validation</li>
<li>Displays IP addresses, timestamps and target pages involved</li>
<li>Helps detect recurring attack patterns and suspicious behavior</li>
<li>Assists in creating precise server or firewall rules</li>
</ul>
<h2>Extras</h2>
<p>A simple-to-use extension doesn’t have to be a poor one. Here are some fine tunings included:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li><strong>reCaptcha v3 target score</strong>: set the target value to mark users as bots</li>
<li><strong>reCaptcha badge hiding</strong>: Do you want to have a 100% clean result? The plugin can hide the side-page badge</li>
<li><strong>target only guests</strong>: do you want to affect the checkout form only for new users? It’s indeed possible!</li>
<li><strong>ajax-based websites support</strong>: do you have a website loading forms asynchronously? Invisible reCaptcha is compatible also for them!</li>
<li>Fully compatible with <a href="https://be.elementor.com/visit/?bta=1930&brand=elementor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elementor Pro</a> checkout!</li>
</ul>
