Can you stop annoying captchas?
In fact, it’s the companies that run the websites who have to do this. They are designed to block bots. Most people just leave sites if they have to keep picking words or solving puzzles. So it pays to look at alternatives, to save you losing visitors or customers.
The good news is that there are some alternatives that prevent bots, without annoying web visitors:
