So a few clients are telling me they are getting a ton of spam from their website forms. Is there any easy way to integrate captcha into form submissions that anyone is aware of?
A proper captcha will require server-side integration, which Webflow doesn’t support.
You can create a “simple” captcha using JavaScript, but that could possibly be circumvented.
Also, captchas will only stop “automated” spam. If a human is sending the spam manually, a captcha will only slow them down slightly - not eliminate the spam problem.
that’s pretty much what I thought. Thanks!
I’m working on a Captcha server that will work for cases like this where you want to tie a Webflow form to some other website on the backend. More info here:
I use encryption to store the destination URL so it is not visible from the browser and the security can’t be circumvented. Let me know if you would like to test and provide feedback. I’m hoping that this solution helps people who don’t have the capability or interest in creating a backend server themselves.
