    Hey guys, I love your plugin, and it’s really better than reCaptcha in everything! Thank you so much for creating this awesome protection software for us!

    I only have a concern specifically regarding the wordpress implementation of your plugin – it is not coded correctly, and the whole hCaptcha code is being loaded on every single page of wordpress websites, even where there is absolutely no need for it.

    I sincerely hope that this is not a spyware, and would like you to fix this privacy, and footprint issue as soon as possible, so that the hcaptcha code would load ONLY when the “post comment” button is pressed, with a separate page where you have to pass the test, or when a login page is loaded, and not on every single page of the website where it is not needed.

    Please fix this issue as soon as possible to prove that your plugin is not another tracking tool. Thank you!

    The fact that the plugin is loading everywhere, even where it is not needed at all is a big deal breaker for us!

    Kind Regards,
    – H

    Hi there, please open a PR at https://github.com/hCaptcha/hcaptcha-wordpress-plugin and we will take a look. I think it wouldn’t be too bad to make it only inject on pages with the hooks activated.

    The entire thing was written by contributors, we just audit and publish it ??

    Hi, I am not registered there, but I give you my blessing to open it there telling them “the H-var guy said don’t load your javascripts where they are not needed”.

    Thank you
