• It feels like my website is being attacked 24/7 is this normal?

  We provide a competing plugin, but in our testing, the best free firewall option has been NinjaFirewall. It has been shown to provide more protection than Wordfence Security without creating the same performance penalty. Source: over 2 years ago

• Which security plugin is the best?

  While what you are saying is partially true with Wordfence, it isn't true for WordPress firewall plugins that are well developed. With both NinjaFirewalland our Plugin Vulnerabilities Firewall provide protection that Cloudflare can't provide, as they hook into WordPress and take actions based on information that Cloudflare and other security systems that don't hook in to it, don't have access to.

• Which security plugin is the best?

  Wordfence Security actually does provide some protection against those types of vulnerabilities. The problem is that, as our testing has shown, it provides much less than the NinjaFirewall plguin and our Plugin Vulnerabilities Firewall plugin. That might have to do with them selling access to firewall rules, as providing better general protection would reduce the need for firewall rules, but it would provide much...

• Security for low-traffic site

  Whether you should spend money on security largely rests with on how much damage there would be if the website was hacked and the likelihood of it being targeted. What you mentioned makes it sound like it wouldn’t make sense in your situation. If that your situation then you could reasonably protect against the types of attacks being mentioned by using strong and unique passwords (no other limits are then needed)...

  If you are looking for a security plugin that will actually protect your website, we would recommend you look for one that evidence shows provides effective protection against real threats.

• WordFence Bloatware?

  Based on our testing, there are better options for a firewall, including the NinjaFirewall plugin, which apparently you think is our plugin, as we frequently suggest that as a good option. Also, those better options are available as stand-alone plugins. Source: about 3 years ago

• Which is the Best Free Version of Security Plugin: WordFence or iThemes?

  If you are looking to protect against unfixed vulnerabilities being exploited in plugins you use, then Wordfence Security will provide protection that iThemes Security won't. But in our testing, a much better free option than either of those is NinjaFirewall. Source: over 3 years ago

• Which is the Best Free Version of Security Plugin: WordFence or iThemes?

  NinjaFirewall is feature-rich, well-maintained and supported, and has a much lighter footprint when compared to Wordfence. The free version has login protection, a web application firewall, alerts for recently changed files, a scanner to compare snapshots, and a companion anti-malware plugin. There is also a Pro version with additional features. I'm not affiliated, but have been using it on all sites for over 5... Source: over 3 years ago

• Really slow website. VPS the answer?

  In our testing, the BBQ Firewall plugin has provided very little of that type of protection. That result is in line with what we found when we looked under the hood and found it doesn't do much. If you are looking for a free firewall, then NinjaFirewall is a much better option based on our testing. Source: over 3 years ago

• Better Free Security: iThemes or WordFence

  If the criteria is protection provided by a firewall, then as you noted, Wordfence Security has one and iThemes Security doesn't, but by that criteria there is an even better free option. As in our testing of protection against vulnerabilities in other plugins, NinjaFirewall has provided much more protection than Wordfence Security. Source: over 3 years ago

• Need full backup and security plugins/software for active WP site

  Wordfence Security got mentioned in the replies multiple times, but in our testing, it provides less protection than other security plugins. We provide a paid option that provides a lot more protection, but the NinjaFirewall plugin is free and in our testing has provided much more protection as well. Source: over 3 years ago
