  • Nice plugin

    The plugin hasn't been updated for 2 years but it still works well. I use it instead of Google recaptcha and this has improved website loading time. It would be great if the author could update the plugin.

  • Works well

    I've been using it for about a year and no issues found. Good alternative for reCaptcha. On the other hand it makes a feeling to the attacker that the site is potentially not protected and creates a temptation to trying brute force it. Dear plugin author! Please provide more info about how protection mechanism works. If Google reCaptcha is used, which version, etc.
