Fortunately, the Website Builder supports adding a reCAPTCHA to your site. This Knowledgebase Article will cover how to add a reCAPTCHA to your site created by the Website Builder. **Tarweig Website Builder:** Build responsive, modern websites in minutes with drag-and-drop simplicity, backed by our **30-day money-back guarantee** and 24/7 technical support. ## How to Add reCAPTCHA to your Website Built with the Website Builder **Step 1:** Login to your cPanel. There’s a lot of ways to do this, but the sure fire easiest way is to login to your [Client Area](https://clients.tarweig.com/), then open your cPanel. ![](https://kb.tarweig.com/wp-content/uploads/kb-media/2020/12/lab.jpg) **Step 2:** Scroll down to the Software section and open the Website Builder: [![](https://kb.tarweig.com/wp-content/uploads/kb-media/2021/05/1-783x270.jpg)](https://kb.tarweig.com/wp-content/uploads/kb-media/2021/05/1.jpg) **Step 3:** Your list of sites will load. Locate the site edit, then hover over that site and click the speedometer icon to login to the site.

You have a couple options when it comes to reCAPTCHAs. [![](https://kb.tarweig.com/wp-content/uploads/kb-media/2021/05/2-21.jpg)](https://kb.tarweig.com/wp-content/uploads/kb-media/2021/05/2-21.jpg) The default setting is to use a simple Math Captcha, where the visitor will be asked to solve a simple math problem, such as “What is 4+2?”. This is what you see above and is what will happen if you leave that box checked. If you uncheck that box, you have the option to use Google reCAPTCHA. [![](https://kb.tarweig.com/wp-content/uploads/kb-media/2021/05/3-15.jpg)](https://kb.tarweig.com/wp-content/uploads/kb-media/2021/05/3-15.jpg) To use a Google reCAPTCHA, you first need to sign up for one (they’re free) by [clicking here](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about/). Pro-Tip: You’ll find that the reCAPTCHA will be linked to your Google Account, so personally, I find it best to create a free Google Account for each website I manage, that way the Google Tools, like Analytics, Webmaster Tools, and reCAPTCHA are all linked to the same Google Account. You can create a free Google Account by [clicking here](https://accounts.google.com/signup/v2/webcreateaccount?hl=en&flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=SignUp).  Once you have your Site Key and Secret Key from Google’s reCAPTCHA Admin, you can enter that information, then choose a reCAPTCHA version, 2 or 3, and it will be displayed on your site. **Step 6:** Next, you need to configure a few other options. Let’s take a look: [![](https://kb.tarweig.com/wp-content/uploads/kb-media/2021/05/4-10.jpg)](https://kb.tarweig.com/wp-content/uploads/kb-media/2021/05/4-10.jpg) - First you need to choose a Theme. You have the option to use Light or Dark here. Light is the most commonly used reCAPTCHA type as it’s easily spotted. - Next, you need to choose a language for the reCAPTCHA. You can leave it in Auto Detect and the reCAPTCHA will appear in the native language of the visitor, based on their region. - Following this, you need to choose a size for your reCAPTCHA. I find that normal is just right, but compact is an option available to you as well. - Lastly, you need to choose the pages on which the reCAPTCHA will show: - Login Form – this is the form you use the login to the Website Admin of your website. - Lost Password Form – this is the lost password form which appears if you click “Forgot Password” on the login form to your website. - Reset Password Form – this is the reset password form which appears after you use the “Forgot Password” link. - Registration Form – if your site is open to registration and other users, this refers to the form that is used to register those new users/members. - Comment Form – if your blog posts are open to comments, you can require a reCAPTCHA to post comments. **At Tarweig, we advise that you enable the reCAPTCHA for all forms, if you are opting to use a reCAPTCHA.** Be sure to click Save Changes at the bottom of the page to save your changes. And that’s how you add a reCAPTCHA to a website built with the website builder.
