Works, but so much spam gets through

Hello,

This plugin was put together solely to replace the dropped support for ReCaptcha v2 in the Contact Form 7 plugin. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, Google works on the actual reCaptcha implementation and recommends moving to version 3 as version 2 is not as strong as it once was. Technology has changed a lot since ReCaptcha v2s initial release in 2014. If you dislike ReCaptcha v3 and bots are penetrating ReCaptcha v2, you may want to try a different Recaptcha entirely, such as hCaptcha.

Hopefully, you’re able to find an alternative solution to your spam problems. Should you have any questions, comments, or concerns in regards to this plugin please open a support thread and we can assist you further. Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Thanks. I ended up removing the honeypots, removing the V2 plugin, and going back to V3, and so far it’s not blocked our tests. I suspect something was conflicting. I’ll see how we get on.

hcaptcha has issues, it is slow to respond and people don’t like the number of prompts to match images, some over kill on image matching and responsiveness to web services is lagging.
