CAPTCHA Alternatives to Improve Page Load Speed

[GrouchyKids]

Recently I had to install reCAPTCHA on my site.

The site contains domain name generators and they were being misused, in the words of my host:

_Addition of a Captcha will go one of two ways - hit the bruting on the head as intended - OR it will increase the load and the impact by rendering the Captcha's. _

Have noticed that reCAPTCHA adds a fair amount of code 32% of page size and 5 requests.

I want to replace reCAPTCHA with an alternative, has anyone got any ideas?

Cheers.

Howdy.

Here is my opinion - there is no better analogue than recaptcha. Google has extremely fast servers, they think about loads and amount of requests. So, make sure that recaptcha is being loaded asynchronously, so it doesn't affect your visual time loading. Otherwise, do something custom like extra field "two plus two = ". The only problem with such thing, is that it's gonna be easy to hack.

Hope this helps
