Integration #
With the Everest Forms plugin, you can enhance your form security using different spam protection methods. These include CAPTCHA-based solutions as well as modern CAPTCHA alternatives and background anti-spam services.
CAPTCHA solutions help protect your forms by verifying that submissions are made by real users. In addition, some services work silently in the background to detect and block spam without requiring any user interaction, providing a smoother user experience.
There are three types of Captcha you can add to your forms. They are:
- reCAPTCHA v2 by Google
- reCAPTCHAv3 by Google
- hCaptcha
reCAPTCHA v2 #
The reCaptcha v2 requires the user to click a checkbox indicating the user is not a robot. This will either pass the user immediately (with No CAPTCHA) or challenge them to validate whether or not they are human. This is the simplest option to integrate with and only requires two lines of HTML to render the checkbox.

reCAPTCHA v3 #
reCAPTCHA v3 allows you to verify if an interaction is legitimate without any user interaction. It is a pure JavaScript API returning a score, giving you the ability to take action in the context of your site: for instance requiring additional factors of authentication, sending a post to moderation, or throttling bots that may be scraping content.
