"Most" are *not* on the same server as the web server; if anything, "most" are recaptcha. The very poor, ineffective forum captchas I see floating around may be served from the same host, but many captchas (recaptcha or otherwise) are services, and as such require loading images from third party hosts. That whole line of argument is bogus. The JavaScript question I have more sympathy for; unfortunately, we're using a Trac captcha plugin, and I don't think it has a broad set of configuration options. If it's the captcha requiring JavaScript, that's probably just the end of it. You mention analytics stuff, though; I'm not sure if that's related to the captcha, or you're just saying analytics are a problem for your browser. There are unrelated analytics scripts on the page, if they fail, that won't affect the captcha.
