Divi reCAPTCHA Fix — MS Surfaces South Africa
Industries
🎯 The Challenge
MS Surfaces, a South African surfaces and shopfitting business, was receiving spam submissions through two Divi contact forms — the Contact Us page and a dedicated Exclusive Free Labour Offer landing page for shopfitters in Gauteng. The client specifically requested a visible "I am not a robot" reCAPTCHA checkbox. Budget was $10.
💡 Our Solution
Configured Google reCAPTCHA v3 through Divi's native form integration on both contact form pages. Explained to the client that Divi's built-in form system supports reCAPTCHA v3 — an invisible, behaviour-based bot detection system — rather than the v2 checkbox version. The reCAPTCHA badge was confirmed visible in the bottom right corner of both pages. Both forms protected from spam without adding friction to genuine user submissions. Delivered within two hours of receiving login credentials.
🏆 The Result
Both Divi contact forms confirmed protected with reCAPTCHA v3. Client confirmed: "I see it, thank you brother." Delivered same day at $10. Client returned six months later with a $220 referral project — the Infinitech four-page Divi website build — demonstrating the long-term value of small jobs handled professionally and with clear communication.
