Why reCaptcha is setup on your Lead Gen site and why you need it

What is reCaptcha?

reCAPTCHA is a free service that protects your site from spam and abuse. It uses advanced risk analysis techniques to tell humans and bots apart. Humans can read the distorted text in ‘CAPTCHA challenges’ but current computer programs cannot.

We set up this service for all lead gen websites we provide.

 

 

CAPTCHA is an acronym for Completely Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart.
