Hi @nufflchen,
– Antispam Bee
It quite depends on your demand. You know the functionality of both are different.
This plugin can’t identify who posts a comment, a human or a bot.
But if you want to accept comments only from some countries, this plugin also may
help you.
– rename wp-admin-php
Well, I can’t find a proper plugin. Could you let me know the plugin’s link?
– Login LockDown
I think the functionality of both are quite similar and a difference is
validation timing.
You can configure this plugin a little bit earlier than Login LockDown.
This can help to reduce load on server when you get brute-force attacks.
Here’s my test results under the following conditions:
– PHP 5.6.12 / WordPress 4.7
– MacBook Pro late 2015 / 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 / 16GB 1600MHz DDR3
– Theme: Twenty Seventeen
– Plugins: Total 12 plugins activated (include ether IP Geo Block or Login LockDown)
