What is the issue you’re encountering

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Read and got confused

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

All my sites run recaptcha currently. It works fine, but, with Google’s latest announcement, I thought I should look at alternatives and Turnstile came up. Trouble is, setting it up is nowhere as simple as recaptcha, or at least not as intuitive.

I have nearly 100 sites which I have built and manage. It seems I would need 10 widgets with 10 “entries” in 9 and the balance in the 10th? (for the free plan) Then “hostname…”? No clue what they want here. I’m sure this is easy once you’ve done it a few times, but it’s very confusing for a longtime recaptcha user.

Hostname is the address of the website, like example.com or www.example.com.

Other than that, the docs have really good examples on how to integrate Turnstile into a site:

Let us know if you encounter any specific problems.

OK, so I make a “widget” (strange name for what a widget really is) and I can add 10 domain names to it, then a 2nd widget and add another 10 names, and so on? That makes sense, thanks. I guess it was I really didn’t understand the naming versus their purpose.

Note that if you’re using a CMS or some site builder for your sites, there are likely existing plugins/extensions that make implementing the widget on your site even easier.

Yes, I am using Joomla and found a plugin to do it. The forms builder I use has the integration built in too. Thanks.
