Is it possible to integrate Google reCAPTCHA in a Webflow form?

Yes, it is possible to integrate Google reCAPTCHA in a Webflow form. Webflow provides a built-in form element which makes it easy to create and customize forms on your website. To integrate Google reCAPTCHA, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Sign up for reCAPTCHA: Go to the reCAPTCHA website (https://www.google.com/recaptcha) and sign up for an API key. You will need to provide some basic information about your website.

2. Get the API keys: Once you have signed up, you will be provided with a Site key and Secret key. These keys will be used to verify your reCAPTCHA implementation.

3. Add the reCAPTCHA code to your Webflow project: In the Webflow Designer, select the form element you want to add reCAPTCHA to. Then, head over to the Settings panel on the right-hand side and scroll down to the Custom Attributes section. Add the following custom attribute:

data-netlify-recaptcha="true"

This tells Webflow to add the necessary HTML code for reCAPTCHA to your form.

1. Add the required reCAPTCHA scripts: Go to the project settings in Webflow and select the Custom Code tab. Paste the following script code into the Footer Code field:

<script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script>

This script loads the necessary reCAPTCHA libraries from Google.

1. Configure and style your reCAPTCHA: To customize the appearance and behavior of your reCAPTCHA, you can add additional custom attributes to your form element. For example, you can add the data-netlify-recaptcha-theme attribute to change the theme, or data-netlify-recaptcha-size to change the size of the reCAPTCHA widget. You can find a list of available attributes in the reCAPTCHA documentation.

2. Publish your Webflow project: Once you have completed the above steps, make sure to publish your Webflow project for the changes to take effect on your live website.

Now, your Webflow form should include a Google reCAPTCHA widget that helps protect your website from spam and abuse.

Note: It's important to optimize your reCAPTCHA implementation for SEO. This can be done by following these best practices:

• Ensure that your reCAPTCHA is accessible: This means making sure that the widget is usable by all users, including those with disabilities. Use the appropriate ARIA attributes and labels to enable screen readers to identify and interact with the reCAPTCHA.

• Avoid using hidden reCAPTCHA fields: Some developers attempt to hide the reCAPTCHA field by setting its visibility to hidden through CSS. This is against Google's guidelines and can negatively impact your SEO efforts.

• Test your reCAPTCHA implementation: Make sure to thoroughly test your reCAPTCHA integration to ensure that it is working correctly and not causing any issues on your website.

By following these steps and best practices, you can successfully integrate Google reCAPTCHA into your Webflow forms and enhance the security of your website.
