which caused the outage. Fixing the hard disk lead to additional
problems, the fan on that server was failing and we couldn&rsquo;t get spares

statistics on how mCaptcha performs on various browsers and devices. So
far, we&rsquo;ve only been running benchmarks with the WebAssembly

implementation. This <a href=https://github.com/mCaptcha/survey/pull/14>pull request</a> added support for running benchmarks

with the JavaScript polyfill implementation on browsers without
