### About this Plugin

Captcha adds GDPR compatible captcha code anti-spam protection (like Google ReCaptcha) to WordPress forms – comments form, registration form, lost password form, and login form. In order to post comments or register, users have to type in the code shown on the image. This prevents spam from automated bots & adds security. No external services (like Google ReCaptcha) are used. No API keys are needed, and no user-identifiable data is used so it’s GDPR compatible.

### Static WordPress Challenge

This plugin depends on live, request-time WordPress/PHP functionality such as sessions, authenticated visitors, or dynamic endpoints. Its core visitor-facing features do not work on a static WordPress site. Neither Simply Static Pro nor Static Studio changes that compatibility verdict. Use a separate hosted, headless, or external service if the plugin's use case offers one.

### Frequently Asked Questions

Is Captcha Code compatible with Simply Static?

No. Captcha Code requires live, request-time WordPress functionality and cannot operate as a static site. Simply Static Pro and Static Studio do not change that compatibility verdict.

Can a paid Simply Static product make Captcha Code compatible?

No. Neither Simply Static Pro nor Static Studio can turn Captcha Code's session-based or request-time PHP functionality into a static-site feature. A separate headless or external service would be a different implementation.

Does Captcha Code affect static build times?

Captcha Code has approximately 100,000 active installs. Plugins with complex shortcodes or dynamic blocks may add minor overhead to the static generation pass.

How often is this compatibility data updated?

All plugins are re-scanned monthly. Scans run five analysis passes including an AI classifier. The last tested date at the top of this page reflects the most recent scan.
