That's what it is for, but most setups don't have it setup correct (the verification page should ONLY appear during an actual DDoS, and even then only against IPs that appear to be participating).
It wants to do a bit of cryptography, which means that if scripts/WASM/etc are disabled, you can be out of luck.
I have noticed my CPU spike during these checks; however, I have factory settings for Firefox and haven't disabled scripts/WASM/etc. Is there some setting that Firefox might default to that could cause this?
No idea as I use brave, but check the console log for blocking or anything like that.
