Ruined by the devs

The version 1 Altcha WordPress plugin was a promising, if not perfect, captcha plugin. Unfortunately, the developers got everything wrong with version 2. First of all, it can only be installed via the website, which is suspicious. There are no upgrade notes, which is an absolute no-go for commercial sites. Incidentally, a captcha that installs itself into all forms without being asked is a very bad idea. For example, Altcha v2 also activates when using form-like elements such as filter widgets for lists. Or in globally integrated service forms, so that the Altcha screen pops up on every page. We also suspect that Altcha v2 prevents AI search engines from crawling – this has not yet been verified, but it coincides with the use of the plugin. For all these reasons, we have decided to stop using the plugin for the time being.
