Introducing the Cloudflare Turnstile Integration
Secure your forms with Cloudflare Turnstile—now available out-of-the-box in Formspree.
Formspree now supports Cloudflare Turnstile out-of-the-box, giving you a modern, privacy-focused alternative to secure your forms without frustrating your users!
The CAPTCHA Conundrum
We know the pain points well: traditional CAPTCHAs, with their blurry text and frustrating image grids, ruin the user experience and often introduce significant accessibility barriers.
Worse, for the developer, implementing these forms meant writing complex server-side code just to validate the response token. This complexity runs directly counter to Formspree’s goal of making forms simple.
The Turnstile Advantage
Cloudflare Turnstile is that solution. It’s a cutting-edge bot detection service designed to replace CAPTCHA challenges with frictionless, non-interactive verification.
Instead of asking users to click on buses or street signs, Turnstile analyzes browser and client behavior by running lightweight, non-intrusive JavaScript challenges in the background. It verifies humanity and malicious traffic with high accuracy, all while maintaining a smooth user flow.
This approach offers two massive advantages:
- Superior UX & Accessibility: The vast majority of real visitors will never see a challenge, resulting in faster form completion and better conversions.
- Privacy-Focused: Unlike older systems that track users for other purposes, Turnstile is built from the ground up to respect visitor privacy.
Making Turnstile Even Better
Turnstile is fantastic, but it still requires one critical step that complicates your build: server-side validation of the token it generates.
That’s where Formspree steps in.
With our native integration, we handle the entire server-side exchange immediately upon form submission. You simply configure your keys in the dashboard, and Formspree automatically verifies the cf-turnstile-response token using your Secret Key.
