When it comes to creating forms in a WordPress website, WPForms is the best choice comes to my mind and I recommend the same to others.
WPForms is a drag-n-drop form builder that makes easy to build different types of forms like contact form, survey form, donation form, Payment form etc.
Having contact form added on your website makes it trustworthy and your users can feel connected with you just because you have opened a way for them to contact you whenever they need your support.
But forms also bring spam entries and it makes task complicated, but you can prevent spam entries by adding hCaptcha with your form using the same form builder, WPForms.
What Is hCaptcha?
hCaptcha(where h stands for “human“) is a completely free tool that can help you fight with spam entries & bot. It can keep spam and bots away from your website just by asking simple questions to prove that form submitter is a real human.
hCaptch uses sophisticated machine learning and AI to recognize human users and prevent bot entries.
And if Google’s reCaptch isn’t working good for you and you are looking for its alternative then hCaptcha is perfect for you.
WPForms has now released fully supported native integrations across its family of plugins. If you are tired with the spam entries through your forms, you must follow the entire tutorial.
