<h2>Increase security without changing your site</h2>
There are plenty of security extensions, so why should you choose this one?
Invisible reCaptcha has been built with three major aims:
<ol>
<li>Fight bots without changing your website layout or requiring any action from the end user.</li>
<li>Be as simple as possible to set up. Starting from scratch, you’ll be ready in less than 10 minutes.</li>
<li>Not weigh down your pages: only a 4KB javascript file (no jQuery-dependent), and only where needed.</li>
</ol>
It’s developed by <a href="https://lcweb.it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LCweb</a>: creating the best WordPress premium plugins since 2012.
<h2 id="h-top-3-features">The security system you prefer</h2>
The choice is yours:
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Google reCaptcha v2 – eventually asking for a popup puzzle solve</li>
<li>Google reCaptcha v3 – totally passive</li>
<li>Honey-pot – doesn’t rely on any third-party library, being super-fast and GDPR-proof</li>
</ul>
All of them are totally free to be used. No extra subscription is needed!
<h2>Complete forms coverage</h2>
Choose whether to use it on one/all of these contexts:
<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>
What if traditional anti-spam measures aren’t enough? Bot behavior is similar to that of real users; the ultimate solution is to prevent unlimited submissions.
<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>
Discover how your security works behind the scenes. This extension tracks every failed attempt, helping you understand and strengthen your site’s defenses.
<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>
A simple-to-use extension doesn’t have to be a poor one. Here are some fine tunings included:
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>reCaptcha v3 target score: set the target value to mark users as bots</li>
<li>reCaptcha badge hiding: Do you want to have a 100% clean result? The plugin can hide the side-page badge</li>
<li>target only guests: do you want to affect the checkout form only for new users? It’s indeed possible!</li>
<li>ajax-based websites support: 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>

Invisible reCAPTCHA

The simplest way to boost security against bots and brute-force attacks.

StoreGuard provides enterprise-grade IP rate limiting for WooCommerce stores of any size. By restricting the number of actions any single IP address can perform within a specific time window, StoreGuard automatically blocks malicious activity while maintaining a smooth experience for legitimate customers.
Whether you’re fighting registration spam, brute-force login attacks, comment spam, review spam, card testing fraud, or checkout abuse, StoreGuard has comprehensive protection for all critical WooCommerce functions.
<ul>
<li>
The Card-Testing Nightmare: Card testing (bots trying thousands of stolen credit cards on a checkout page) can cause payment gateway bans, thousands of dollars in chargeback fees, and lost API access. Frame StoreGuard as the “Ultimate Anti-Chargeback & Fraud Shield.”
</li>
<li>
The Inventory / Server Crash Angle: Emphasize that brute-force bot signups and rapid checkouts slow down servers or lock up stock, causing real customers to abandon carts.
</li>
<li>
The Peace of Mind : Stop payment fraud before it hits your gateway. Save thousands in chargeback fees for just $29/year.
</li>
</ul>
