Can You Add Captcha to Squarespace?

Last updated on December 21, 2022 @ 3:09 pm

You can add CAPTCHA to your Squarespace site to help protect it from spam and other automated abuse. To do this, you’ll need to install a third-party CAPTCHA service onto your site.

There are a few different CAPTCHA services available, but we recommend using reCAPTCHA. It’s free to use, and it’s effective at stopping spam.

To install reCAPTCHA on your Squarespace site:

  1. Go to the reCAPTCHA site and sign up for an account.

  2. Follow the instructions on the site to create a new site. Be sure to select the “reCAPTCHA v2” option.

  3. Once you’ve created your account, you’ll be given a Site key and a Secret key. Copy these keys and keep them safe.

  4. PRO TIP: WARNING:

    Adding a CAPTCHA to your Squarespace website can be tricky and may not work as expected. If you’re not familiar with code or website development, we recommend working with a professional to help you implement this feature.

  5. Log in to your Squarespace account and go to the Settings panel.

  6. Click Security, then click the CAPTCHA tab.

  7. Paste your Site key and Secret key into the appropriate fields, then click Save.

That’s it! You’ve now added CAPTCHA to your Squarespace site.
