Cloudflare Captcha

A captcha is a useful device to use in a form to cut down on bots and automated programs filling your form. While Teramine provides an Image Captcha widget for protection from bots, the Cloudflare Captcha widget is another option for protecting your form from bots. The technology behind the Cloudflare Captcha widget is provided by Cloudflare. It has a few features not present in some other captcha solutions out there. Among these are:

  • Cloudflare captcha first attempts to determine whether the user is a human by using heurtistics without requiring any user interaction. This leads to a better experience for the users of your form.
  • If an automatic verification fails, a challenge is shown but mostly not requiring the user solving any puzzle. This also makes your forms more user friendly.
Use the Cloudflare Captcha widget in your form to keep automated programs from filling your forms - no coding required.
