• Well, this was a great Plugin until they decided to completely switch to Recaptcha v3 without the option to choose. Recaptcha v3 brings several disadvantages to the website, although v2 works perfectly fine:

    Recaptcha v3 works in the background, not even on pages with contact forms, but rather on the whole website. This is because google analyses the behaviour of the users to determine whether the user is a human or a robot. To obtain enough data recaptcha v3 must be implemented on every single site of your website to work properly.

    This adds quiet some extra loading time on your pages, as well as brings up even more privacy concerns. To face the privacy problem, recaptcha will also add a badge on your website to inform users about the privacy notice.

    In my opinion the best option is to just refuse to update. Unfortunately this only works as long as there are no security concerns with the old version.

    I hope the plugin author wakes up and brings recaptcha v2 option back otherwise the users will flee away.
