About

Cloudflare Turnstile is a user-friendly CAPTCHA alternative that verifies human visitors without requiring them to solve interactive puzzles or identify objects.

It works by running invisible background tests such as proof-of-work calculations and checks for browser quirks to analyze the visitor's environment and behavior, supports Private Access Tokens (PATs) to validate devices without tracking, and offers a free API.

KeyCAPTCHA was a jigsaw puzzle captcha service with plugins for 19 popular content management systems. It operated from 2010 until its shutdown in September 2025.
