Spam protection for TYPO3 forms, that doesn't hurt.

TYPO3 forms without spam protection are filled with junk submissions in just a few days. Classic CAPTCHAs have several problems. GDPR risks due to data transfer to Google, poor UX for real users, and accessibility hurdles. Modern bots bypass most standard CAPTCHAs anyway via Vision API. Form Spamshield combines JavaScript-based bot detection through mouse and keyboard behavior as well as browser dimensions, honeypot fields, form timeouts, and a configurable strictness level. Real users notice nothing of this. Bots are kicked out before they submit.

Four reasons, to replace CAPTCHAs.

GDPR

No data transfer to Google reCAPTCHA or comparable services.

UX

No "Select all images with traffic lights" click hurdles for your users.

Accessibility

No additional barrier for people with disabilities.

Effectiveness

Modern bots solve standard CAPTCHAs anyway via Vision API in seconds.
