About the Cloudflare Turnstile Add-On
The Cloudflare Turnstile Add-On is a powerful alternative to Google reCAPTCHA built to protect your forms from spam entries.
Instead of using the frustrating CAPTCHA technology, Cloudflare Turnstile uses the Cloudflare Managed Challenge solution.
To be more user-friendly than CAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile runs a series of non-interactive challenges. Results depending, it will then present visitors with an interactive challenge to prove their humanness.
Running these non-interactive challenges helps to avoid showing visual puzzles to more than 90% of humans while at the same time presenting harder challenges to visitors exhibiting non-human behaviors.
In short, if you install the Cloudflare Turnstile Add-On, less of your human users will have to take a challenge, while at the same time non-human visitors will have to complete harder challenges.
Importantly, you don’t have to be a Cloudflare customer to leverage this technology. All you need is a free Cloudflare account to start using Cloudflare Turnstile to protect forms created with Gravity Forms.
