Cloudflare Turnstile

Cloudflare Turnstile provides privacy-focused CAPTCHA protection for your WordPress forms without the frustrating image puzzles of traditional CAPTCHAs. Turnstile runs silently in the background, verifying visitors are human without requiring them to click on traffic lights or storefronts. The module integrates with WordPress login, registration, password reset, and comments, plus popular form plugins like Contact Form 7 and Fluent Forms. Unlike Google reCAPTCHA, Turnstile does not track users or require solving visual challenges, making it ideal for privacy-conscious sites and providing a better user experience while still blocking spam and bots effectively.
