What it does
Any public form on a WordPress site eventually attracts spam. Bots fill in contact forms, sign-up forms and surveys with junk, which clutters your entries and your inbox. This add-on gives Everest Forms a verification step that checks whether a real person is submitting the form before the entry goes through. It requires the Everest Forms plugin, and it works inside the forms you already build there.
You add a CAPTCHA field to a form and choose which service to use. Google reCAPTCHA is supported in both v2 and v3, and hCaptcha is available as an alternative that is known for its focus on privacy and accessibility. You can decide where the field sits in the form, and the fields are responsive across desktop, tablet and mobile. Setup needs only a small amount of configuration.
Best for
- WordPress sites already building forms with Everest Forms
- Businesses whose contact forms receive frequent spam
- Freelancers and agencies managing client form submissions
Features
Google reCAPTCHA v2 support
Add the familiar reCAPTCHA v2 challenge to your Everest Forms so visitors confirm they are human before a submission is accepted.
Google reCAPTCHA v3 support
Use reCAPTCHA v3 as another option, giving you a choice of versions depending on how you want to balance security and the visitor experience.
hCaptcha as an alternative
Pick hCaptcha instead of Google reCAPTCHA if you prefer a CAPTCHA service known for its attention to privacy and accessibility.
Flexible field placement
Place the CAPTCHA field where it fits best within each form, so the verification step sits naturally alongside your other fields.
Spam and bot filtering
Reduce fake and automated submissions so the entries you collect through Everest Forms stay cleaner and easier to work with.
Responsive CAPTCHA fields
The CAPTCHA fields adapt to desktop, tablet and mobile screens, so visitors on any device can complete the verification.
Simple setup
Configuration is kept minimal, which makes the add-on approachable for site owners who are not comfortable with technical settings.
