    We have been using WordFence for the last 5 years. Much was made to cut down the amount of code, it was a big hog back then…

    The WAF lets us set how much of our website’s resources can be used by crawlers and other bots. This gives “out of the box” protection against scripts that could be potentially installed before you would be able to scan malware and boosts the protection against Brute-Force attacks.

    You can also block entire IP ranges, but WordFence blocks IPs on its own.

    The WP dashboard widget is very intuitive and allows us to have an immediate read of important data, to improve overall security.

    As developers, we are granted access to WordFence Central (where we control the security of several websites, in one place).

    Overall, Defiant Inc. has an amazing team of programmers and security analysts.

    THANK YOU

    Absolutely fantastic to hear such a positive Wordfence review from a long-time user of the plugin @avattava.

    I will pass your kind words on to the developers and threat intelligence teams, thank-you for your continued use of the plugin – it’s much appreciated.

    Peter.

    Cheers!

    We could continue to describe how good is your approach to WordPress security standards, on an on… but it is a fact that we very often visit your Documentation Help and Blog webpages to learn more about online security and to see what is going on with plugins’ vulnerabilities.

    We must give you the credit of being the first security analysts’ team (as far as we know) to mention that it not advisable at all to “hide” the wp-login.php page, which implies to change its link, since it may cause conflicts and critical errors if and when being used by other WordPress plugins and themes. That is something that many other developers of security plugins do not mention at all. We have fully embraced that philosophy.

    All the best!

    Take care!
