Overview

The Security-Protection WordPress plugin is designed to safeguard your website by blocking and preventing brute-force attacks without the need for complex captchas. By cleverly adding JavaScript to user-agents, it makes bots prove they aren't bots, relieving users from extra steps like filling captchas. The plugin operates seamlessly with no configuration required—just install and it starts working immediately. It emphasizes the importance of removing common usernames like 'admin' and avoiding weak passwords such as '123456' and 'qwerty' to enhance security. This user-friendly tool not only simplifies website protection but also includes handy features like "Page-list" for displaying page lists using shortcodes and "Iframe" for embedding content.

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate this WordPress plugin for its simplicity, effectiveness, and specific focus. Many reviewers highlight that the plugin excels at preventing brute-force attacks, even where other security plugins like Wordfence have failed. They find it easy to use and commend the developer for their support and intelligent solution. However, some users report that attacks continued despite using the plugin, questioning its efficacy against botnets. There are concerns about potential high server resource consumption, and suggestions for improvements such as default email notifications for admins. Overall, the plugin is valued for providing targeted security solutions without unnecessary complexity.

I have a profound love-hate relationship with most “monsters” security plugins a la wordfence & co… and this plugin is exactly the opposite : it does ONE thing but does it WELL !!! A big thanks to the developer.

I tried numerous other plugins without result. After I installed Security-protection, the continuous attacks stopped. Thank you for developing and sharing such a great plugin, great work!

This plugin fights against brute force attacks using a very inteligent solution. It is like a Martial Arts Master. Congratulations to Webvitaly! (I recommend Anti-Spam too, it works by the same principle)
