Recaptcha error “Could not verify the reCaptcha response error””

Hello,

This could be an issue with WP Rocket Cache delaying the load of the WP ReCaptcha script. One of the users on the Contact Form 7 forums suggests the following:

I just added the word: Recaptcha
Into the WP Rocket File Optimization tab in section: Delay JavaScript Execution – excluded javascript-files

SLV?(@dwnl)

Another option is to exclude optimization of api.js in the WP Rocket settings.

Additionally, we are seeing some JS errors in the console of the website that may be interfering with the load process that may need to be fixed as well. We recommend trying the above and possibly disabling the WP Rocket plugin to see if the ReCaptcha loads properly. If the ReCaptcha loads after disabling WP Rocket then you could reach out to WP Rocket for a solution.

If you have tried the above, and then tried to disable WP Rocket entirely, and continue to run into the same issue, please reply back to this thread and we can assist further. Otherwise, have a wonderful rest of your week!

Hi,

Thank you for the insights. I’ll try the suggested fix; but would you be able to share the steps on how I can do this:

Another option is to exclude optimization of?api.js?in the WP Rocket settings.

Appreciate the help!

@pdiaz123 WP Rocket has some documentation on how to exclude JS from being deferred which may be the cause.

You can try adding that to the Deferred Exclusion list (WP Rocket Documentation on Deferred JavaScript).

Additionally, you can try adding that to the Delayed Exclusion list (WP Rocket Documentation on Delayed JavaScript).

Hopefully, using the above you’re able to solve your issue. If not, you may reply back to this thread and we can assist further. Have a wonderful weekend!
