  • Random font display

  • No cookies required

  • No JavaScript required

  • Auto-generated audio for visually impaired users

  • Easy-to-read

  • Reminder of what was entered if you get the word wrong

  • Selective blocking of trackbacks, pingbacks

  • Easy to translate

  • Compatible with caching plugins

Negatives

  • Purposely no obscuring techniques so that the anti-spam word is easy to read

  • The more people who use this plugin, the more motivation for spambots to target it
