Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about MAD CAT Design® Forms Protection

No. The core protection flow does not require Google reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile or another external captcha provider. It uses local server-side checks, runtime signals, form state validation and honeypot fields.

Yes. The plugin is designed for privacy-conscious and GDPR-conscious WordPress websites. The core protection flow runs locally inside WordPress and does not send visitor interaction data to an external verification service. Site owners are still responsible for their own privacy policy, legal setup and log retention configuration.

Yes. Contact Form 7 integration is included in the free plugin.

Bricks and BricksForge support can be provided by the separate MAD CAT Design® Forms Protection for Bricks extension.

The free core plugin continues to work with its included modules. Optional extension modules are only loaded when their extension plugin is installed and active.

Yes. The plugin includes an admin log view for reviewing form protection decisions and related signal details.

No anti-spam solution can guarantee 100% protection. MAD CAT Design® Forms Protection adds a practical local protection layer for WordPress forms by combining several lightweight signals instead of relying on one single check.
