Zap-Hosting is currently using Google reCAPTCHA v2, which has become outdated and less secure compared to modern options. Upgrading the CAPTCHA system will improve security, user experience, and bot protection across the entire platform.

Recommended Upgrade Options

Option 1: Google reCAPTCHA v3

• Completely invisible (no user interaction needed)

• Works silently in the background by checking risk scores

• Much better at detecting bots and suspicious behaviour

• Perfect for login pages, signup pages, and checkout forms

• Provides analytics for monitoring suspicious activity

Benefits:

• Better security

• No customer frustration

• Faster login experience

• Modern and clean implementation

Option 2: Cloudflare Turnstile (Modern CAPTCHA Alternative)

• Free for everyone (even without Cloudflare hosting)

• No Google tracking — privacy friendly

• Very fast and extremely lightweight

• Invisible mode available

• Used by many major websites as a drop-in replacement

Benefits:

• Faster than reCAPTCHA

• More modern & privacy-focused

• No need for image challenges or interaction

• Reduces login friction dramatically

Benefits to Zap-Hosting

• Stronger protection against bots, fraud, and brute-force attacks

• Better user experience → fewer login complaints

• Trusted modern security infrastructure

• Less server load due to more efficient checks

• Future-proofing the authentication system

• Improves accessibility for global users and regions where reCAPTCHA v2 is slow
