Add a CAPTCHA to prevent spam on your form
Why add a CAPTCHA?
Key points • Immediate reduction of unwanted submissions • Protection of your hotel website from bots • Improved quality of collected leads • Preserved user experience thanks to modern tools
Adding a CAPTCHA automatically blocks bots and fraudulent submissions, which are particularly common on online forms. For your hotel, this means less spam, better data readability, and clearer sales tracking. Since current solutions are discreet and fast, the experience remains seamless for your guests.
How to add a CAPTCHA to your form
To enhance the security of your form, you can integrate a CAPTCHA based on a trusted third-party service. The tool typically requires you to enter a site key and a secret key to automatically verify that the user is human.
The most commonly used services are modern tools that do not interfere with the visual appearance of your hotel website. Once configured, the CAPTCHA appears as an invisible verification or a simple checkbox.
💡 Tip: opt for an invisible version if you want to maintain a smooth booking process.
Configure security keys
After creating your account with the chosen service, retrieve your activation keys. Then go to your administration interface and enter these keys in the designated integration area.
Once the keys are registered, the CAPTCHA will automatically trigger on all associated forms. You do not need to manually add an additional block in the editor.
💡 Tip: Test your form once the configuration is complete to verify that the submission works correctly.
Test your form with CAPTCHA enabled
Submit a test entry to ensure that: • the form submits correctly • no unexpected error messages appear • the submission is correctly recorded in your data • the CAPTCHA does not interfere with mobile browsing
In case of error, check that your keys have been copied correctly and that they correspond to the configured domain.
Optimize protection without degrading the experience
The goal is to eliminate spam, not to complicate the lives of your hotel's future guests. Modern solutions automatically analyze user behavior before displaying a more detailed check, ensuring a seamless experience.
💡 Tip: If your hotel receives many international requests, check that the solution used supports all the necessary languages.
Conclusion
Adding a CAPTCHA to your form is one of the most effective ways to reduce spam and improve the quality of submissions. Quick setup, automated verification, and a seamless experience for your visitors make it essential for any hotel website.
