Simple Google reCAPTCHA will protect your WordPress! No more spam comments and brute-force attacks against user accounts. Lightweight plugin - just few KBs to download and no ads! BuddyPress and WooCommerce support.

What is protected with reCAPTCHA?

  • Comment form
  • New password form
  • Registration form
  • Login form
  • Reset password form

reCAPTCHA verification will be required just for not registered users!

Thank you!

Thanks all of you, who are using this plugin. I really appreciate it! WordPress is amazing open-source software which I'm using for free (for business too) so this plugin is my way how to say thank you! If you write to me (on support center etc.) and expect an answer, be patient, please. I'm working on this plugin in my free time, it's my hobby.
