Features & Functionality

  • Malware Scanner: It scans your site and notifies you of any suspicious files or malwares either embedded into the site or attached to it in an email.
  • Firewall: It allows you to restrict access or deny requests from specific IP addresses. This is useful for blocking brute force login attacks and also prevents anyone from logging into your WordPress site unless you give permission.
  • Brute Force Attack Protection: It blocks malicious requests coming from a IP address that has been previously identified as an attacker on the network, so no matter how many times an attacker attempts to attack, it will be blocked by Wordfence.
  • Security Monitoring: It warns you of any HTTP header injection attempt, backdoor attempts, malware infection and also other security breaches that can compromise the security of your website or database such firewalls that are configured incorrectly which could allow hackers in…etc
  • Country Blocking: It blocks malicious requests based on the source IP address. It identifies and blocks an IP address originating from a country that is known to be conducting attacks, so it works like a security filter that checks if your site is under any type of attack before allowing access
  • Repair Files: It scans your site and checks for any type of malware that might have been deployed on your website by a hacker or some other person. Then you can then fix your corrupted file by yourself.
  • Two-Factor Authentication: It is a security feature that checks every login attempt with two-factor authentication. It allows you to protect your website by requiring two factors for logging in to your site. This is useful as it makes sure the person attempting log in is the actual username owner and not someone trying to impersonate him.
