It blocks common attack paths early, before they turn into compromises, while supported firewall rules can sync to Cloudflare for enforcement at the edge. SiteFort’s cloud-assisted malware scanner verifies trusted files by hash and sends only unknown or suspicious files for deep threat analysis, keeping scans reliable even on shared and lower-resource hosting. Security hardening, firewall protection, login security, 2FA, and vulnerability scanning are free forever. **[Try the Live Demo](https://demo.securewp.net/)** | [Features](https://securewp.net/wordpress-security-plugin/) | [Try Online Scanner](https://securewp.net/security-checker/) ### Core WordPress Security Features * **WordPress Security Hardening:** Reduces common exposure through XML-RPC, user enumeration, sensitive files, direct PHP execution, REST access, security headers, and other WordPress security controls. * **Firewall & Bot Protection:** Blocks vulnerability probes, abusive requests, malicious traffic, and unwanted automation with IP, country, rate limiting, and configurable bot controls. Supported rules can also sync to Cloudflare for edge enforcement. * **Login Security & 2FA:** Protects WordPress login, WooCommerce customer accounts, and membership account access with two-factor authentication, CAPTCHA, brute- force lockouts, a custom login URL, breached-password checks, and password policies. * **Vulnerability Scanner:** Checks WordPress core, plugins, and themes for known vulnerabilities, affected versions, severity, CVE references where available, and remediation guidance. * **Cloud-Assisted Malware Scanner:** Detects backdoors, web shells, injected code, malicious redirects, SEO spam, and suspicious file changes, with deep threat analysis in the cloud to reduce server load. * **Compromise & Reputation Checks:** Detects suspicious administrator accounts, injected content, unsafe URLs, exposed sensitive files, malicious redirects, and domain or server reputation issues. ### WordPress Security Hardening SiteFort provides simple, toggle-based WordPress hardening controls to reduce common security exposure and shrink the attack surface. * **Sensitive File Protection:** Blocks public access to WordPress configuration backups, database dumps, debug logs, backup files, installer files, and other sensitive resources, including exposed `.env` or `.git` data when present. * **PHP Execution Protection:** Blocks PHP execution in uploads and restricts direct access to PHP files in plugin and theme directories. * **XML-RPC Controls:** Disable XML-RPC, restrict authentication, or block pingback abuse. * **User Enumeration Blocking:** Reduces username exposure through author archives, REST endpoints, and common discovery paths. * **REST & Application Password Controls:** Restricts REST API access and controls WordPress Application Passwords based on site requirements. * **File Editor Protection:** Disables the built-in WordPress theme and plugin file editor. * **Directory Browsing Protection:** Disables directory listing to reduce file discovery and unintended information exposure. * **Security Headers:** Analyze and manage CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content- Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, and disclosure headers. * **Version & Metadata Cleanup:** Reduces exposed WordPress version, generator, and header information. * **Protection Verification:** Confirms supported hardening protections are active and identifies items that require manual hosting or server configuration. ### WordPress Malware Scanner SiteFort combines hash-first file verification with cloud-assisted deep threat analysis to detect malware while reducing scan workload on the WordPress server. * **Hash-First File Verification:** Known WordPress core, plugin, and theme files are verified against trusted hashes. * **Deep Threat Analysis:** Files that cannot be verified by hash or show suspicious indicators are sent to the SiteFort cloud for deep threat analysis, including backdoors, web shells, injected PHP or JavaScript, malicious redirects, SEO spam, and obfuscated code. * **File Integrity:** Detects modified WordPress core, plugin, and theme files, along with unexpected files that do not belong in trusted packages. * **Account & Content Checks:** Checks administrator accounts, WordPress content, options, URLs, and redirects for suspicious changes and indicators of compromise. * **Sensitive File Exposure:** Identifies publicly accessible backups, logs, configuration files, debug files, and other sensitive files commonly targeted by attackers. * **Domain & IP Reputation:** Checks the site domain and server IP against supported blocklists and abuse intelligence. Database and content checks run on the protected site and are not uploaded to the SiteFort cloud. ### Login Security & 2FA SiteFort protects WordPress login and account access against brute-force attacks, credential abuse, and unauthorized access. * **Brute-Force & CAPTCHA Protection:** Limits repeated login attempts and adds CAPTCHA protection to WordPress, WooCommerce, and supported custom login and registration forms. * **Two-Factor Authentication:** Adds role-based 2FA with authenticator apps, email codes, recovery codes, grace periods, and trusted devices. * **WooCommerce & Membership 2FA:** Lets customers and members manage 2FA from WooCommerce My Account or supported custom account pages. * **Custom Login URL:** Move the WordPress login page to a private URL and control requests to the default `wp-login.php` address. * **Password Security:** Detects weak and breached passwords, enforces password strength, prevents reuse, and supports optional expiration policies. ### WordPress Firewall SiteFort filters malicious and abusive traffic early, with clear controls for IPs, countries, rate limits, sensitive paths, bots, and optional Cloudflare edge enforcement. * **IP, CIDR & Country Rules:** Block or allow individual IP addresses, CIDR ranges, and countries, including an allow-only mode. * **Sensitive Path Probe Protection:** Blocks requests probing for commonly targeted sensitive paths, including WordPress configuration backups, database dumps, debug logs, installer files, `.env`, and `.git`. * **Rate Limiting & 404 Controls:** Reduces abusive request bursts, repeated missing- page requests, and automated scanning activity. * **Bot & User-Agent Controls:** Block or allow selected bots, crawlers, scanners, and user agents with configurable firewall rules. * **Community Threat Intelligence:** Blocks known malicious IPs identified across the SiteFort network, helping stop repeat bad actors before they reach the site. * **Vulnerability Probe Protection:** Blocks automated requests searching for vulnerable plugins, themes, backup files, and configuration leaks. * **Cloudflare Sync:** Synchronizes supported IP, country, and user-agent rules to Cloudflare, with temporary edge blocks for repeat attackers where supported. * **Traffic Log:** Review firewall traffic, blocked requests, bot activity, rate- limit events, and rule matches from the firewall dashboard. ### Bot Protection Policy SiteFort provides three bot protection presets for straightforward setup, with the option to allow or block specific bots and crawlers individually. * **Basic:** Blocks known hacking tools and bots probing for vulnerable files and common attack paths. * **Balanced:** Adds protection against scraping bots and automated scripts. Recommended for most WordPress sites. * **Maximum:** Extends filtering to unrecognized bot traffic for sites that require stricter automation controls. * **AI Training Crawlers:** Optionally block training-focused crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, and Bytespider while supported AI assistants and AI search crawlers remain allowed. Supported search crawlers are verified using reverse DNS and published IP ranges and are allowed through bot protection, while bots impersonating known search engines are detected and blocked. ### Vulnerability Scanner SiteFort checks installed WordPress core, plugins, and themes against vulnerability intelligence and identifies affected versions, severity, and available remediation. * **Affected Components:** Identifies vulnerable WordPress core, plugins, and themes with installed versions, severity, and CVE references where available. * **Fix Guidance:** Shows fixed versions and recommended actions when remediation information is available. * **Vulnerability Probe Protection:** Firewall controls block automated discovery attempts targeting vulnerable plugins, themes, and known component paths while affected software is being updated, replaced, or removed. SiteFort does not virtually patch vulnerable code. Vulnerable components should be updated, replaced, or removed using the available remediation guidance. ### Malware Repair & Quarantine * **Delete or Quarantine (Free):** Remove malicious or unwanted files from scan results, with optional quarantine for recovery when needed. * **One-Click Repair (Pro):** Repairs malicious or modified files directly from scan results when a trusted clean source is available. * **Clean-File Restore (Pro):** Restores supported WordPress core, plugin, and theme files, including selected commercial plugins and themes when verified clean sources are available. _For active WordPress compromises requiring hands-on investigation, [Securewp expert cleanup](https://securewp.net/wordpress-malware-removal/) is available for malware removal, root-cause remediation, blocklist assistance, and post-cleanup review._ ### WordPress Security Audit Log SiteFort records important security and administrative activity, providing a clear history for review and investigation. * **Login Activity:** Successful and failed logins, lockouts, 2FA events, and account- related activity. * **User Changes:** User creation, updates, role changes, and other account actions. * **Plugin & Theme Activity:** Installations, activations, deactivations, updates, and other recorded changes. * **Security & Settings Changes:** Hardening, login security, firewall configuration, and other sensitive administrative changes. ### SiteFort Console SiteFort Console provides a central panel for managing security across multiple WordPress sites.

I would install one plugin to scan for malware, remove it after cleanup, then install and configure another plugin just for security hardening because the one I used for malware scanner were too heavy to keep running all the time.SiteFort is the first plugin I’ve used that combines both in a clean and lightweight way. Fast malware scanning, practical hardening features, and an easy-to-use interface without slowing down the website.

It previously needed a matching trusted proxy range, and was ignored without one. * Behind a CDN, the firewall no longer treats the CDN’s address as the visitor. It pauses and asks which address is the real one. * The proxy or CDN address through which traffic reaches the site can no longer be added to the blocklist. * The 7-day dashboard chart was leaving out firewall blocks. #### 1.7.9 – 2026-08-05 * Visitor IPs are now detected automatically behind a local proxy, load balancer, or Cloudflare, instead of leaving the firewall paused. * When detection still needs a decision, the Advanced tab shows the problem and a one-click fix. * A paused firewall is easier to spot, with a warning icon and an amber toggle. * An expired login session now explains what happened and how to recover, instead of showing a raw “Cookie check failed” error.
