Widget display modes

The widget can stay invisible or show itself. The protection is the same either way — only what visitors see changes.

Invisible (default)

Nothing is shown. Visitors only meet a challenge when their behaviour looks suspicious.

Checkbox (reCAPTCHA style)

An empty box below the form that the visitor clicks. Familiar, and it makes the protection visible.

Compact (Turnstile style)

A small badge that runs on its own and settles once the check is done.

The protection does not change

All three modes run the same behavioural analysis. The visible box never blocks a submission — it reports that the check ran, nothing about the visitor. The actual classification stays in your dashboard.

Set the mode under API keys → your key → Widget → Display.
