By MountDev: Cloudflare Turnstile

Cloudflare Turnstile is a smart, privacy-friendly CAPTCHA alternative developed by Cloudflare - one of the world's largest internet security companies. Unlike traditional CAPTCHAs that make users solve puzzles or identify objects in images, Turnstile works invisibly in the background using advanced algorithms to detect bots. Most legitimate users won't even see a challenge - they'll just submit their forms normally. It's faster, more user-friendly, and more privacy-conscious than traditional CAPTCHA solutions.

Yes, you'll need a free Cloudflare account to generate the Site Key and Secret Key that this plugin requires. The good news? Creating an account takes just a few minutes, and Cloudflare Turnstile is free for most websites. You don't need to move your DNS to Cloudflare or use any of their other services - just create an account, generate your Turnstile keys, and you're ready to go.

Absolutely! This plugin has deep WooCommerce integration. You can protect your WooCommerce login forms, registration forms, password reset forms, checkout pages, and even the pay-for-order page. You have granular control too - for example, you can show Turnstile only for guest checkouts while keeping the experience smooth for logged-in customers. You can also choose exactly where the widget appears on your checkout page to match your store's layout.

Yes! Contact Form 7 is fully supported. You have two options: enable Turnstile protection on all your Contact Form 7 forms with a single click, or selectively add it to specific forms using the [mountdev-contact-form-7-turnstile] shortcode. This gives you complete flexibility to protect your most important forms while keeping others simple.

Yes! If you're using Elementor Pro Forms, this plugin integrates seamlessly. You can enable Turnstile on all Elementor forms at once, and you have full control over widget positioning - place it before the submit button, after it, or after the entire form. The plugin follows Elementor's styling and fits naturally into your designed forms.

Not at all! This plugin is built with performance in mind. The Turnstile script is lightweight and loads asynchronously, so it won't block your page rendering. You can also enable script deferral for even better performance. The plugin itself adds minimal overhead to your WordPress installation - just a few kilobytes. Most users won't notice any performance impact whatsoever.

Yes! Cloudflare Turnstile is free for most websites. Cloudflare offers generous free tier limits that cover the vast majority of WordPress sites. Only extremely high-traffic sites might need to consider Cloudflare's paid plans. For reference, the free tier includes millions of verifications per month - more than enough for most businesses.

Absolutely. You can choose between light, dark, and auto themes to match your site's design. The widget automatically adapts to your form's styling and can be positioned exactly where you want it. While you can't completely redesign the widget (it's provided by Cloudflare), it's designed to be unobtrusive and blend into any design.

Yes! This plugin is fully compatible with WordPress Multisite installations. Each site in your network can have its own independent Turnstile configuration, or you can network-activate it and manage settings centrally. Perfect for agencies, universities, or anyone managing multiple WordPress sites.

Cloudflare has an exceptional uptime record (99.99%+), but if their service is temporarily unavailable, you can configure fallback behavior. The plugin includes options to handle service disruptions gracefully, ensuring your forms remain functional even in the unlikely event of a Cloudflare outage.

Yes! There are no licensing restrictions. You can install this plugin on as many websites as you like - your own sites, client sites, or commercial projects. Each site will need its own Cloudflare Turnstile keys (which are free to generate), but there's no limit to how many sites you can protect.

Complimentary support is limited to issues with this plugin's installation, settings, documented features, and plugin-related errors. If a problem is caused by Cloudflare, other plugins, themes, custom code, or hosting, we may help identify the source but will not troubleshoot it.
