Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Redeyed Sentinel version 1.0.7 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Redeyed Sentinel is a free CAPTCHA and IP-reputation service for WordPress. It protects the forms bots love most — login, registration, lost-password and comments — without tracking your visitors or slowing your site down, and can log every blocked attempt so you can see it working.
The plugin is free to install and does nothing until you enter your keys. With no Site Key and Secret Key configured, Sentinel stays completely inert: no widget is rendered, no requests are made, and your forms behave exactly as before.
What you get
Drop-in CAPTCHA widget on the WordPress login, registration, lost-password and comment forms.
Server-side verification on submission — tokens are checked against Sentinel using your site’s Secret Key, which is never exposed in page markup.
Block log — optionally record every blocked attempt (form, IP, outcome, score, time) and review it under Settings → Sentinel Log.
Fail-open by design: if your keys are missing the plugin will not block anyone, and an admin notice reminds you that Sentinel is inactive.
Simple settings screen under Settings → Sentinel with per-form on/off switches.
Optional widget customization — set a site-wide widget type, theme, colour scheme, minimum difficulty, width and form key. Every field is optional and off by default.
Lightweight: one small async script, loaded only on the pages where a protected form appears.
Privacy
Your Secret Key is sent only from your server to the Sentinel verification endpoint ( /sentinel/siteverify ). It is never printed in HTML. The public Site Key is the only key that appears on the page, which is exactly what it is designed for.
