The only CAPTCHA that uses a clear, non-distorted, easy-to-read image that requires reasoning and deducing skills that only humans possess. The image cannot be read by OCR software, it cannot be brute forced (the software safe-guards itself with a 5 min lockout upon 3 failures that increases with each failure), and Super CAPTCHA Pro (starting at just 96 cents per month) uses cloud processing to pre-determine if a visitor is a spam bot and shuts them down before they can solve captchas on your site.

This is the most secure anti-bot software for WordPress -- literally. This is the only anti-bot software that commercial CAPTCHA Solving Sites use for their own defense against bots. Super CAPTCHA will be the last bot defense software suite you'll ever need assuming your server and WordPress install is compatible.

We stand behind our software and ask that if you have problems with it, consult our knowledgebase or open a ticket on our site https://my.goldsborowebdevelopment.com before prejudging with a negative rating. CAPTCHAs, especially those that use GD are complex pieces of software that relies on your server having very specific settings that some hosting companies like GoDaddy may not have turned on by default. We invite everyone whom would like to test this software to try it on our own hosting enviornment completely free of charge at http://hostme4nothing.com

Super CAPTCHA has been tested on several WordPress installs and Servers including:

  • Basic WordPress + CentOS Apache2 + PHP + GD
  • Buddypress + WordPress + CentOS Apache2 + PHP + GD

NOTE: THIS SOFTWARE IS NOT DESIGNED FOR COMMENT DEFENSE UNLESS YOU FORCE YOUR COMMENTERS TO REGISTER/LOGIN. WE RECOMMEND OTHER SOFTWARE FOR THIS THAT IS NON-CAPTCHA BASED DUE TO THE COMPULSIVE NATURE OF MOST COMMENTERS.
