Hey 👋,

One thing you could try is using more advanced captcha solutions like reCAPTCHA v3 from Google. Unlike the traditional challenge-response captcha, reCAPTCHA v3 works in the background and assigns a “spam score” to interactions, which helps filter out spammy submissions without disrupting real users:

You could also consider hCaptcha, which works similarly and is privacy-focused. Both options offer more layers of protection against bots:

To help you better, could you let me know which CMS or framework your website is built on? This way, I can suggest specific plugins or integrations that would be best suited for your setup.
