About This Plugin

Wordfence is a WordPress security plugin that blocks attacks with a firewall and checks your site against known malware signatures. With Premium, firewall rules and malware signatures update in real time as new threats emerge. The free version gets them 30 days later.

Premium also adds a continuously updated IP Blocklist covering more than 40,000 known threat actors, Country Blocking, access to the security Audit Log, and Premium Support.

Wordfence Central, free for every Wordfence user, manages many sites from one dashboard. It shows each site's security posture, configures Wordfence across sites with templates, launches scans, manages licenses and shows security events. Premium sites also get the Audit Log there.
