# Remove CAPTCHA from the sign-up process

**Evidence grade: Tested.** Outside evidence supports it: a published experiment, or customer sites where verify_change found the change live long enough ago to count as kept.

Observed on 3 corpus sites. Page types: contact, signup.

## Why it works

CAPTCHA is difficult to decipher for most visitors and adds unnecessary friction to the sign-up process. Eliminating it reduces obstacles that prevent users from completing registration, though this must be balanced against potential spam account creation.
