I use it instead of Google recaptcha and this has improved website loading time. It would be great if the author could update the plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/81219722c5073a2d32c08356f9bcd6a21a5716013b4c0c5ac18620a70b69fedb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works well](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-well-2188/)󠁿 [hardoman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hardoman/) February 7, 2021 I’ve been using it for about a year and no issues found. Good alternative for reCaptcha. On the other hand it makes a feeling to the attacker that the site is potentially not protected and creates a temptation to trying brute force it. Dear plugin author! Please provide more info about how protection mechanism works. If Google reCaptcha is used, which version, etc. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/20d63fb0ead1518257f5b0b1fdf0b1efc023f36ab76af2c4b616c809dd49791d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Nice plugin to block spam without annoying captcha](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-plugin-to-block-spam-without-annoying-captcha/)󠁿 [Shamim Hasan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/shamim51/) June 7, 2020 Nice plugin to block spam without annoying captcha.
