I need to know how I can secure the contact form 7 on a wordpress website? I am already using a hidden login page also I am using SSL but what can I do more than that to secure it and keep users data secured?
Cloudflare Turnstile and hCAPTCHA are probably the best options for free
Cleantalk.org and oopspam.com if you want to spend a little but it’s worth it.
Cleantalk and free WordFence
Honeypot aka WPArmour. Set it and forget it.
hCaptcha and other such services have the disadvantage that they are either not accessible and/or cause problems with data protection. In addition, graphic captchas now hardly offer any protection against AI bots. They just make things difficult for humans. Spammers’ bots don’t care if they are made by professionals.
In CF7 you can use the quiz short code to ask an individual question and answer that a visitor has to enter. E.g. like this:
[quiz quiz-84 id:test “Give the 3 last numbers of pi or answer with the result of 15 devided by three.|5”]
Of course, this question must be worded in such a way that it cannot be easily recognized automatically. And you should change the question every now and then.
