Use Google reCAPTCHA with forms

What is reCAPTCHA?​

Google reCAPTCHA stops spammers and bots from submitting the form.

Google's reCAPTCHA prompts visitors to check a box to prove they are human before submitting their results. Sometimes, they are prompted to complete another task (e.g., identifying a series of letters). reCAPTCHA makes it difficult for bots to automate form submissions.
