Gravity Forms Friendly Captcha Add-On 0.1.0-alpha.1 0.1.0-alpha.1

Gravity Forms Friendly Captcha helps protect your WordPress forms from automated spam while keeping the user experience simple. It adds a “friendly” verification step to Gravity Forms so only likely-human submissions reach your site workflows. This is useful when you’re receiving unwanted entries on contact, lead, or registration forms—especially on sites built with page builders like Elementor. It fits cleanly into the Gravity Forms ecosystem and supports the kind of forms commonly used alongside WooCommerce and popular WordPress themes.

By handling captcha verification as part of the Gravity Forms submission process, it reduces bot activity without creating heavy, disruptive checks that can deter visitors. The result is a more reliable form setup and fewer time-consuming cleanups of spam entries.
