Everything you need to know about replacing Friendly Captcha
Friendly Captcha vs SilentShield: what’s different?
Friendly Captcha is privacy-focused and GDPR-minded, but it still renders a proof-of-work widget that users see and wait on. SilentShield is fully invisible — it scores behaviour instead of running a visible challenge — while staying GDPR-first and EU-hosted.
Is Friendly Captcha the most private option?
Friendly Captcha avoids third-party tracking, and so does SilentShield — with no tracking cookies, pseudonymised hashes, and EU data hosting, plus a Data Processing Agreement (DPA / AVV).
Switching from Friendly Captcha to SilentShield
Remove the Friendly Captcha widget and swap in the SilentShield snippet or WordPress plugin. There is no visible widget to configure, and real users see nothing.
