Form Builder - Spam With The Default Captcha

SP Page Builder 3 months ago

Hello,

we have currently the problem that we got spam mails every 2 minutes. We use the default captcha from the form builder in sp page builder.

Installed Version SP PageBuilder: 5.5.7; Joomla: 5.3.0

Is there any news regarding this problem?? Can we change the captcha system? Which are possible? Can we make the default captcha system dynamic instead of keeping it static (the number calculation)? Is it possible to show instead of text a picture?

please suggest what to do. It is urgent.

Thank You

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Unfortunately, at this time, there are no plans to modify or enhance the default CAPTCHA (math-based) system used in the Form Builder addon. We understand the limitations of the static math CAPTCHA, especially in preventing automated spam.

To strengthen spam protection, we highly recommend integrating a third-party CAPTCHA service. SP Page Builder currently supports the following options:

  • Google reCAPTCHA
  • hCaptcha
  • Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA

You can follow the respective documentation for setup instructions:

Additionally, we suggest enabling the Rate Limit feature in the Form Builder to further mitigate spam submissions. Please refer to the documentation here:

Best regards

Thank you very much for your responses. Excuse the delay in responding.

Since we are from Germany we have to obey the DSVGO.

We understand that the google recaptcha is supported in sp pagebuilder. But i didn't find any information if when the google recaptcha is integrated we can prohibit it sending data by just opening our webpage. The users have to allow the use of it. We currently use Cookie Hint which shows a banner and the user has to accept for cookies.

Is this also possible with the google recaptcha if we activate it in sp pagebuilder? Will it then be stopped from sending data by just surfing on our page?

Please advise and thanks in advance.
