I have a big issue with the new hCaptcha. Since I am using the Cloudflare SSL and I am redirecting from http to https every single time a user tries to enter the website just by its name (meaning http by default) it gets a captcha challenge. I tested it myself. I solve the captcha, close the tab and in the browser I write the name of the website just like a regular visitor and than I have a captcha again. In other words every time there is a redirect a new captcha appears, this was no issue when there was reCaptcha, not sure why, but it remembered that you solved it.
I am seeing significant decrease in user visits since 2 days ago and I am sure it is related to the new hCaptcha. Please help me fix the issue. This is tormenting my visitors. Thank you.
I am not sure which one of the logged challenges are real visitors, because I am experiencing big DDOS for more than 18 months now and only the captcha saves my server.
When the old captcha was active the redirection between http and https were not a issue. But I am not sure if this is related to the captcha itself. Maiby I should readjust some settings?
Well yes, everyone should get captcha 1 time, as it was before. But now, every single time there is a captcha, while before the new changes captcha was appearing onec every few days per IP.
I doubt it to be honest . What is “each visit”? Cloudflare always ran a captcha on each new session, but not on each new request which the OP seems to experience.
Sadly, it is asking on every single request that has redirect in it (from http to https, or from www.website.com to website.com) if there is a redirect the captcha appears no matter if you solve 3 or 4 times in a roll, it always asks for more.
More and more visitors are staring to complain about the issue, and it is affecting my visit count drastically. I might be forced to search for Cloudflare alternatives. :(((
Yeah, the two slides are a bit of a pain in the bottom. If the difficulty level is lower it might be easier to solve. As long as it ask you once for captcha I think people could manage.
