Best Recaptcha WordPress Plugins

8 plugins · 900K combined installs · 4.2/5 avg rating

reCAPTCHA plugins integrate Google's bot-detection service into WordPress forms — including login pages, registration forms, comments, and WooCommerce checkout — to block automated spam submissions and credential-stuffing attacks. They support reCAPTCHA v2 (checkbox and invisible) as well as reCAPTCHA v3, which assigns a risk score without user interaction. These plugins are critical for any WordPress site that accepts user input, particularly those that have experienced comment spam floods, fake account registrations, or automated checkout abuse. Many reCAPTCHA plugins also support hCaptcha and Cloudflare Turnstile as privacy-friendly alternatives, giving site owners flexibility in balancing security requirements with GDPR compliance.
