Human Verification
📋 In This Article
Human Verification adds a bot-filtering gate before the countdown begins, so automated scrapers and click-fraud bots don’t burn through your ad impressions or steal your real download links.
WP Safelink supports four verification methods: a simple button click, Google reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, and Cloudflare Turnstile.
How to enable verification
- Open WP Safelink → Settings → Templates and scroll to Human Verification.
- Turn on Human Verification.
- Pick a Verification Method: Button, reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, or Turnstile.
- For a captcha method, paste the matching Site Key and Secret Key from your provider.
- Optionally edit the prompt label, then save changes.

What it looks like
💡 Note: The Button method needs no keys and works instantly — perfect for a quick start. Switch to reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, or Turnstile when you need stronger bot protection. For the toughest defense against proxy and VPN traffic, PRO adds an Anti-Bot / Proxy / VPN Shield on the Pro Tools tab.
