## FAQ

### How do I add a login captcha for WordPress login security?

ThinkCaptcha makes it easy. After installing and adding your Google reCAPTCHA keys,
simply go to the ThinkCaptcha settings page and toggle on “WordPress – Login Form”.

A secure **login captcha** will automatically be added to your login page, dramatically
improving your site’s **login security** against brute-force attacks.

### How can I add Google reCAPTCHA to my WooCommerce forms?

Our plugin offers deep integration with WooCommerce.
 You can add a **WooCommerce
captcha** to the login, registration, and password reset forms directly from our
settings panel with a single click. The Pro version also allows you to add a **checkout
captcha**.

### Does this plugin work as a Contact Form 7 reCAPTCHA solution?

Yes!
 The Pro version is the perfect **Contact Form 7 reCAPTCHA** plugin. It automatically
integrates with all your CF7 forms to block spam submissions effectively.

### What is the difference between a captcha and reCAPTCHA?

“Captcha” is the general term for a test to tell humans and bots apart.
 “reCAPTCHA”
is Google’s specific, advanced version of a captcha, which uses sophisticated risk
analysis to provide a better user experience. ThinkCaptcha uses Google’s secure 
and user-friendly reCAPTCHA v2.

### Does this plugin slow down my site?

No.
 The plugin is lightweight, and the Google reCAPTCHA script is loaded asynchronously
using WordPress best practices, meaning it doesn’t block your page from loading.
It only loads on pages where the captcha is active.
