Google reCAPTCHA is a service from Google that saves your website from Spams and Abuse. It is a free service that lets you segregate humans and bots.
If you have any kind of form on your website then you are prone to spam. So there is always a need to have a security measure on your website.
The reCAPTCHA stands as a gatekeeper for the entries coming onto your website.
Ergo, to make your QloApps website secure we have developed the QloApps reCAPTCHA module. With the help of this module, you will be able to protect your website from bots.
So let us understand how we will install this module and configure it.
Features
- The reCAPTCHA improves the security of your store.
- It will be a simple solution to keep away spam bots and hackers.
- Admin can display google ReCaptcha on the following form pages – a login page, registration page, contact page, or Back-office Login page.
