About ALTCHA
ALTCHA is a GDPR-compliant form abuse protection option that effectively prevents automated form submissions without requiring respondents to solve a puzzle.
If ALTCHA validation fails, respondents will be unable to submit their form response.
Note:
- You can use either reCAPTCHA or ALTCHA on forms, but not both at the same time.
- Akismet, which uses post-submission spam filtering, can be used in addition to ALTCHA
Visit ALTCHA's website for more information about how it works.
