Reduce your Spam with a CAPTCHA

Do you get spam from your contact us, request a quote, or other forms from your industrial website? If so, you may want to consider adding a CAPTCHA to your forms. A CAPTCHA will eliminate or greatly reduce the amount of spam you receive.

You most likely have used one yourself when you’ve submitted forms on other websites. A CAPTCHA is the validation code you asked to enter at the end of a form right before you hit submit. Here’s an example of what they look like -

A CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. It’s a security measure designed to ensure that the entity accessing your form is a human being, not a computer robot. This simple visual test or puzzle is one that a human can complete without much difficulty, but a malicious computer “bot” and other automated programs that participate in phishing or spamming schemes usually cannot.

CAPTCHAs can be added quickly and are they very affordable. Many of our clients have seen their spam greatly reduced after a CAPTCHA was added. If you are having trouble with spam from your web forms, contact Ecreativeworks today for help!
