[View video](./b2f6a034cd95c5efa90afe93799fc8b9e9d8cb00-1200x241.mp4)

In our [last update](https://clerk.com/blog/changelog-2023-06-23.md), we announced enhanced bot protection for [Hosted Pages](https://clerk.com/docs/account-portal/getting-started.md) that would prompt users with a verification challenge if bot activity was detected; we have now extended this capability to support developers using Clerk’s [`<SignUp />`](https://clerk.com/docs/component-reference/sign-up.md) component! If you’re using [Custom Flows](https://clerk.com/docs/authentication/custom-flows.md), please [reach out](https://clerk.com/contact/support) to the team and we’d be happy to help you get up and running.

With this new capability, any time suspicious bot activity is detected during sign-up, the user will be prompted with a CAPTCHA-like verification process, powered by [Cloudflare Turnstile](https://blog.cloudflare.com/turnstile-private-captcha-alternative), to ensure no malicious activity occurs. New instances will have this protection enabled by default, and existing accounts can leverage this new bot protection by turning it on in the [General](https://dashboard.clerk.com/last-active?path=settings&tab=General) section of the Clerk Dashboard.

## ✨ Other Fixes & Improvements

- Improved user search query performance by 80% on Clerk’s Backend API route `GET /v1/users`. This also means that User Search in the Dashboard is significantly faster!
- Improved OAuth 2 Sign-in and Sign-up response time, making your end-user experience even quicker than it already was.
- Added localization support for Polish (pl-PL).
- Added experimental support for Remix V2's new `v2_errorBoundary` flag.
