Hi @lovelacedee, sorry to see you’re having trouble.
Overlapping features?could?result in more of your site’s resources being used during scans etc. when installing more than one security suite/firewall. You may also experience conflicts or more than one plugin trying to check logins etc. Wordfence does have some modules that can be disabled but not all products do so be careful in which features you like/dislike from each.
There are ways to check if Wordfence was blocking the action of another plugin or a firewall had been triggered but it may be difficult if the site isn’t usable whenever you enable it. The best test for me would be to see if your site behaves as intended when Wordfence is your only active plugin. If it does, reenable your other plugins one-by-one to see when the loading/timeout problem reoccurs. This may hint to an incompatibility or conflict so will help with troubleshooting a potential issue.
Our documentation around Live Traffic could help you look for false-positive blocks where Wordfence may be blocking the action of another plugin but would require the site to be working with Wordfence active to try: https://www.wordfence.com/help/tools/live-traffic/

Also note that our 2FA/reCAPTCHA when enabled are designed to work with the default WordPress and WooCommerce login/registration pages only so compatibility issues may occur with custom login pages or ones generated by other plugins.
Many thanks,
Peter.
