What is Captcha?

Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) is a tool that can distinguish between real users and automated bots and users who are inputting information into a website to send data to another user. It provides a challenge that bots and computers find hard to complete.

For instance, they might provide a picture of letters and numbers that need to be entered to pass the test. Or it might show a few pictures and the user has to select a few of them with the theme (i.e. trees, cars, mountains) to pass the test.

Because bots can’t recognize individual features in images, they can’t pass the test. Therefore they don’t pass the test and the form is not complete and the input is rejected.

Why Use Captcha?

Automated bots use a lot of automation on a website. And this can be one of the significant problems of running a website. There is a lot of time taken up by automated spam bots that send fake messages using forms online.

By using Captcha, these bots can’t complete the process, so only real messages are sent to you and then you don’t have your email overrun with nonsense.

Captcha can be used on forms, comments, and other aspects to ensure that bots are less invasive to your website.

Is Elementor Compatible with Captcha?

Yes. Elementor already has features that allow you to use the system on your website. There is no need to install a new plugin on your website. The support allows you to add Captcha features to your form. All you need to do is connect your website to the Captcha system and then add the form.

The only problem is that Elementor only has this feature for Pro users.

Pro Elementor is one of the best investments you can make because it offers a host of brand-new features to help you enhance your website.

Once you’ve added that, you can visit the reCAPTCHA website and then click on the admin console in the top-right corner. Then you can access the website using your Google account. Click on the ‘plus’ sign to add a new website to your account. You can enter the label and select the reCaptcha.

Once you’ve entered the label and selected the type of test you would like to feature, you can add the domain and accept the terms of service. Then you can click on the ‘Submit’ button.

The best option is to select the v2 option which is then ‘I’m not a robot’. It is the least problematic for users and it is quick for them. Therefore, you won’t lose out to audiences who can’t complete some of the more complex options.

Final Word: How to Add Captcha to Elementor Form

Above is how to add Captcha to the Elementor form. It is really simple to use the Captcha widget on your Elementor plugin. But you just need to have the Pro version and a Captcha account.
