Spam bots are killing your WordPress forms and WooCommerce checkouts. Google reCAPTCHA keys stop them cold but only if set up right.
These two keys (site key + secret key) connect your site directly to Google’s verification system, blocking bots while letting humans through.
Skip the hassle of form-by-form set-up. With Hizzle CAPTCHA, paste your keys once and protect your WordPress site and WooCommerce store.
Site Key vs Secret key: What They Do
Site key and secret key form a mandatory API key pair.
Site key (public): Shows the “I’m not a robot checkbox” or invisible challenge on your forms. Safe to display on frontend.
Secret key (private): Verifies responses server side. Keep this hidden, never expose in code or public pages.
v2 Checkbox vs v3 Invisible
v2 checkbox: Users click checkbox (fallback puzzle if suspicious). Reliable for Noptin/WooCommerce
v3 Invisible: Score based (0.0-1.0), no user action needed. Best for high-traffic sites.
Hizzle Captcha handles both out of the box, just pick your type and paste keys. No coding needed
Step by Step: Register your site with Google
Go to reCAPTCHA admin -> sign in with google
Register your new site by adding the label, reCAPTCHA type, adding your domains (localhost for testing).
Enter the project name and click the submit button.
Then copy the site and secret key.
Why Keys Alone Won’t Stop Spam
Your Google reCAPTCHA keys are just raw code, they need a bridge plugin to connect them to your WordPress site and WooCommerce stores.
Most Captcha plugins like CAPTCHA 4WP and reCAPTCHA by web soft force separate key entry: once for every contact form plugin, WooCommerce and newsletter opt-in plugins. That’s a tedious setup across 5+ areas that frustrates users into quiting.
Hizzle CAPTCHA centralizes everything: Enter keys once, then check the checkboxes for all forms, forums and newsletters. No repetition. No premium addons per form. Just Works.
