Troubleshooting
Problem
What to do
The form says the check failed
Make sure the keys are copied without spaces, and that they are for the service and version you selected.
The captcha does not appear
Clear your cache and make sure your site address is added to the allowed domains in the service.
Real customers are blocked
With v3, try reCAPTCHA v2 or Turnstile.
