How to add CAPTCHA protection to a WordPress site

Use the Google Captcha (reCAPTCHA) plugin to add CAPTCHA security to a WordPress website by following these steps:

  1. Login to your wordpress dashboard
  1. Click on plugins and then click on add new.
  2. In the search box, type google captcha.
  1. Locate the Google Captcha (reCAPTCHA) plugin, and then click Activate.
  1. Click on the settings.
  1. You must go to the reCAPTCHA website and select the ‘Admin Console’ button in order to get these API keys.
  2. You must first put the name of your website in the Label field. The next step is to choose a reCAPTCHA type. As an illustration, we’ll select the reCAPTCHA v2 “I’m not a robot” checkbox.
  1. The domain name you wish to use must then be entered in the Domains section. Don’t forget to type your domain name without the “https://www” prefix.
  1. Next, you will see a success message along with the site and secret keys that you can use on your site.
  1. After you receive your keys from Google, type the public key into the Public Key text box, and type the private key into the Private Key text box.

CAPTCHAs are now activated for your site. To test this, go to your WordPress site’s front page,
