Best way to use Cloudflare Turnstile with WordPress

Cloudflare’s new “Turnstile” service provides a user-friendly, privacy-protecting alternative to Google reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha, making it an attractive option for WordPress site owners concerned with login and contact/comment and other form’s security.

Here, you will learn how to integrate Cloudflare Turnstile with WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, WordPress website platform as a whole and several other plugins.

Enable Cloudflare Turnstile

If you are not a Cloudflare customer, sign up for Cloudflare here.

After signing in to Cloudflare, head over to the dashboard and add your site by clicking the “Turnstile” button.

Then, choose the widget type and provide the website’s name and URL.

Managed
Cloudflare will use information from the visitor to decide if an interactive challenge should be used. If we do show an interaction, the user will be prompted to check a box (no images or text to decipher).

Non-interactive
A purely non-interactive challenge. Users will see a widget with a loading bar while the browser challenge is run.

Invisible
Invisible challenge that does not require interaction.

After clicking the “Create” button, you will be provided with a “Site Key” as well as a “Secret Key.” Keep this page open since you’ll need to copy them when configuring the WordPress plugin in the next step.
