Security

WordPress security hardening that actually holds.

Stop brute force, plugin exploits and malware injections before they take your site offline.

By default, WordPress ships open: predictable login URL, no rate limiting, no 2FA, public user enumeration, no file-integrity monitoring. Out of the box you're relying on the goodwill of the internet — which there isn't much of.

Hardening is mostly free, mostly fast, and mostly things people just never get around to. Here's the checklist I run on every site I touch, plus a managed option if you'd rather it just got done.

What you get

2FA on every admin

TOTP via Wordfence/iThemes. Mandatory for editor-level and up.

Login URL lockdown

Rename /wp-login.php, limit attempts, IP-throttle, lockout after 5 fails.

Web Application Firewall

Cloudflare or Sucuri WAF rules tuned for WordPress-specific exploits.

File integrity monitoring

Alerts the moment a core file changes unexpectedly — usually how hacks first show.

Vulnerability scanning

WPScan/Patchstack monitoring against the CVE database. Patched within 24h.

Hardened wp-config & permissions

Disabled file editing, locked permissions, secured wp-config.php, salts rotated.
