Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

TapHuman replaces annoying, privacy-invasive CAPTCHAs with interactive micro-games that delight your users while silently running cryptographic Proof-of-Work puzzles in the background. Bots are stopped mathematically — no behavioral tracking, no fingerprinting, no cookies.

Why TapHuman?

  • Zero Telemetry – Absolute GDPR, CCPA, and ePrivacy compliance out of the box. No tracking cookies, no behavioral data, no PII collection.
  • Polymorphic UI – Our system randomly rotates which game is served, destroying the ROI of writing automated solvers.
  • Cryptographic Security – While your user plays a 3-second game, the SDK solves a computationally expensive Proof-of-Work puzzle in the background.
  • 100% ADA/WCAG Compliant – Native screen-reader support and keyboard-only navigation with a rate-limited accessibility bypass.
  • One-Click Setup – API keys are auto-provisioned. No dashboard signup required.

Troubleshooting

  • If you checked “Disable for Logged-In Users”, test in an Incognito/Private window.
