External services Google reCAPTCHA This plugin can optionally use Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam protection when the site administrator enables reCAPTCHA and enters Google reCAPTCHA keys in the plugin settings. When reCAPTCHA is enabled for a form, the plugin loads the Google reCAPTCHA script from www.google.com on pages where that form is displayed. When a visitor submits the form, the plugin sends the reCAPTCHA response token, the configured secret key, and the visitor IP address to Google’s siteverify endpoint to validate the submission. The plugin also offers an administrator-only secret key check that sends the configured secret key and a test response token to Google. Google reCAPTCHA is provided by Google LLC.
