Does Your Form Need a
Captcha?
What Are Captchas?
 A program that can
generate and grade
tests that humans can
pass but current
computer programs
cannot
 Humans can read
distorted text, but
current computer
programs cannot
 Captchas prevent
spam-bots from
submitting your form

We Hate Captchas!
So you get through filling out a long form. At
the end it asks you to enter a captcha. You
see a mixture of barely legible numbers and
letters (wow, who knew that fonts could be
made more difficult to read than someone’s
handwriting?). You attempt to enter it
correctly, but nope. Captcha incorrect. This
event happens all too often. Needless to say,
it’s just one of the reasons why we hate
captchas. Why do we even have them to
begin with?
Why You Should Eliminate the
Captcha
 They are not user friendly!
 They can slow down the
process of filling out an
online form and even bring
it to a complete halt
 Your form should have a
high conversion and
completion rate, but a
captcha can only decrease
the number of conversions
and completions
 It is unwise to make the
final step of filling out a
form frustrating and error-
prone
How to Handle Form Spam and
Bots
 There are better ways
to handle form spam
and bots than using
captchas
 Using a LogiForms
online form builder
you can enable the
Anti-spam setting
 How is it done?
Through a series of
tests that check if a
form was submitted by
a human or robot
Test Questions That Help to
Stop Spam
 In order to test whether a
form was completed by a
human or a robot, we ask the
following test questions:
 How long did the form take to
complete?
 Were words such as Viagra,
sex, and/or casino used in the
form?
 Did the submission contain
excessive amounts of links that
go to casino and pornographic
sites?
 Was any mouse movement
detected?
 Was any keyboard movement
detected?
 Were any hidden areas
completed?
