silentCAPTCHA Integration for Easy Form Builder forms

This guide shows you how to use the silentCAPTCHA AntiBot system from Shield Security as spam protection for Easy Form Builder forms. It works as a standard CAPTCHA alternative that effectively stops bots, but with no hassle for your visitors.

To get started, make sure you use Easy Form Builder v4 or later, then follow the steps below.

Go to Plugins > Add New, search for “Shield Security”, then install and activate the plugin from wordpress.org.

Search and install Shield Security from the WordPress Plugins page

Go to Security Zones > Bots & IPs and click Configure (gear icon) next to the silentCAPTCHA component.

Here you'll need to configure the silentCAPTCHA Complexity, Bot Minimum Score, and High Reputation Bypass options detailed here.

silentCAPTCHA system runs by default, and you can leave all settings at their default values until you want to adjust the protection level.

Go to Easy Form Builder > Forms and open your contact form.

In Form Settings, turn silentCAPTCHA On.

If you want all forms protected, repeat this for each form.

When you enable silentCAPTCHA on your form, the form stays visually the same and visitors do not see any CAPTCHA or have to click anything. Everything runs silently in the background, so genuine visitors can submit the form as normal while Shield can block clear bot‑like submissions before they reach you.
