I use reCAPTCHA in front of my site when DDOS attack happens. If the
attack comes, I will redirect all the requests to the reCAPTCHA page.
If user types the correct letters of reCAPTCHA, I will add a extra
cookie and let this user access my site.

I wonder if there is any limit with the concurrent requests of
reCAPTCHA in google side? I think the performance is very important
for me.

No one knows? I have tested it. It seem there is no limit under my
thousands level concurrent request.

I have developed a Nginx module which can be used with reCAPTCHA. If
anyone is interested in it. See this url:

> Does reCAPTCHA have the capacity to accommodate large amounts of traffic? Definitely. reCAPTCHA has distributed locations and multiple servers. The only thing we ask is to be contacted beforehand if you expect your site to constantly need more than 1 million reCAPTCHAs solved per day. reCAPTCHA is used by many large sites — we display over 100 million CAPTCHAs every day.
