According to a study by Distil Networks this month, it was found that 12% of website visitors, when presented with CAPTCHA, were unlikely to continue with what they had come for. That figure is even worse for mobile users. About 27% of them will just close the site when confronted with a CAPTCHA.
Most users of the site are annoyed by CAPTCHAs so much that they simply leave any interaction or whatever they were doing.
It was also found that there was a wide gap between desktop and mobile abandonment. Since all CAPTCHAs being specifically created for desktops, mobile users find it hard to fill in.
A big turnoff for CAPTCHAs is that their main purpose – to block bots – is becoming problematic. The bots have evolved to a point where they are able to solve CAPTCHAs, Essaid stated. Smart CAPTCHAs can stop many bots, but the worst bots can still get past a CAPTCHA.
