Cloudflare Turnstile

A CAPTCHA alternative that verifies a visitor is human without an interactive puzzle.

The reason SITEBORNE uses Turnstile instead of a traditional CAPTCHA is simple: a puzzle that blocks bots also frustrates the real visitor who was about to become a lead. Turnstile is one layer among several—honeypot fields, rate limits, and server-side validation all still run regardless of what the widget decides, so a Turnstile outage degrades the defense rather than removing it entirely.

Intended use: Screening contact forms, project briefs, and any other public submission endpoint.
Best-fit user: Any form small enough that a dedicated fraud-prevention platform would be overkill, but that still attracts bot traffic.
Important limitation: Turnstile still requires server-side token verification—the widget alone is not a security control.
Security or privacy: Turnstile can run in a non-interactive, privacy-preserving mode; the site should disclose its use rather than hide it.
Free-tier status: Recurring launch allowance; verify before proposal.
Commercial use: Permitted subject to current provider terms.
Last verified: 2026-08-02
Alternative: A honeypot field plus rate limiting, or another managed CAPTCHA-alternative provider.
Migration concern: Removing Turnstile without replacing the server-side verification step reopens the form to automated abuse; the fallback must be decided before the swap, not after.
