Fight Form Spam With Cloudflare Turnstile
If you’re looking for a spam-fighting alternative to Google reCAPTCHA, then the Cloudflare Turnstile Add-On is an excellent option.
Designed to protect your site from spam form entries with as little disruption to genuine visitors as possible, Cloudflare Turnstile uses the Cloudflare Managed Challenge solution.
While visitors often report frustration with the CAPTCHA technology used by Google reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile uses a series of non-interactive challenges that can detect non-human users without inconveniencing human users.
These non-interactive challenges help prevent showing visual puzzles to more than 90% of humans. When visitors exhibiting non-human behaviors are detected, they’re presented with more complicated challenges to keep your forms safe.
As well as installing the Cloudflare Turnstile Add-On, you only need a free Cloudflare account to start using this technology to protect your forms from spam.
Benefits of Using the Gravity Forms Cloudflare Turnstile Add-On
Some of the main reasons to protect your forms with Cloudflare Turnstile include…
- User Friendly – Designed to avoid disrupting the experience of your visitors by presenting fewer interactive challenges to human users than CAPTCHA.
- More Effective – The challenges shown to non-human users are more complex than those provided by CAPTCHA.
- Privacy Focused – Unlike some CAPTCHA-based solutions, Cloudflare states that Turnstile will always preserve the privacy of visitors to your site and will never harvest data for ad retargeting.
- Free to Use – A free Cloudflare account is all that’s needed to use Cloudflare Turnstile with Gravity Forms.
The Cloudflare Turnstile Add-On should appeal to anyone looking for an effective way to reduce spam form entries without neglecting privacy and user experience.
