Before a visitor sees your page, we check the request and decide: allow them through, send them to a challenge page, or block them. We also look at how they behave on your site. If we think someone might be a bot, we show them a challenge page where they can prove they are a real person. Real visitors usually never see this; it runs in the background. ### Will this slow down my site? No. The check happens very quickly (usually in under 50 milliseconds) and in the background. Your visitors will not notice any delay. ### Is this compatible with my theme? Yes. Trusted Accounts works with any WordPress theme. You only need to add your API keys in the plugin settings. ### What if a real user is challenged? Real users are rarely challenged. If it does happen, they will see a short challenge page where they can prove they are human. After that, they can use your site as normal. ### Do you collect personal data? No. We do not collect or store personally identifiable information (PII) from your real visitors. We only use what we need to spot bots and bad traffic. We follow GDPR and privacy-by-design so your users stay anonymous. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Full Website Security: Bot & Spam Protection from Trusted Accounts” is open source software.
