 * Hello,
 * I enabled recaptcha on my forms and my website performance went down considerably.
   Is there a way to have recaptcha and good site performance?
 * Do you have any future plans to integrate Akismet? This works perfectly with 
   other forms to stop spam without compromising performance.
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@frodrig06](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frodrig06/),
 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * Form assets including reCAPTCHA are only loaded on pages where a form has been
   added. In most cases this should not have a significant impact on site performance.
 * If you’re seeing performance issue with your site, you could consider reaching
   out to your hosting provider to explore options to improve performance, such 
   as increasing the memory of your site.
 * We don’t have plans to integrate with Akismet. If you’d prefer not to use reCAPTCHA,
   you could consider other third-party plugins such as:
 * – [WordPress Zero Spam](https://wordpress.org/plugins/zero-spam/): This plugin
   is simple to set up, and works right out of the box.
 * – [Spam protection, AntiSpam, FireWall by CleanTalk](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cleantalk-spam-protect/).
   This option offers more settings for customization, though it’s is a premium 
   plugin which requires subscription.
 * Just to note that we’ll not be able to provide support for third-party plugins.
 * Hope this helps!
