reCAPTCHA Scores and Statuses

Overview

When the reCAPTCHA Add-On is active, entries may display either a score or a status value in the Entries List and Entry Detail pages. This article explains what those values mean.

Scores

For forms using reCAPTCHA v3, a score between 0 and 1 may be displayed. A lower score indicates a higher likelihood that the request is from a bot. For details on how to interpret these scores, see Google’s documentation.

Statuses

In some cases, a status is shown instead of a score. These statuses indicate configuration or service conditions.
