It was a good plugin some years ago. Then it wasn’t updated anymore.
There are two plugins and the not reccomended one seems to be more updated then this one: confusing.
Support team of Acunetix is non-existent.
File-Scan not working: Error: Error retrieving the json file from server for the detected WordPress version: 4.7.3. Scan aborted.
PHP 7 not usable: 32 | ERROR | Function name, class name, namespace name or constant name can not be reserved keyword ‘__dir__’ (since PHP version 5.3)
Disappointing for a big company!

We should have known bette seeing that support issues have gone unfixed here on the forum for 2 months.
But we installed on a couple of membership WordPress sites.
all the sites became slooooooow. It is a resource hog. Page load times tripled or worse.
The changes it made to databases etc. caused the membership plugins on 3 of 5 to crash, and special login plugins on the others to crash.
And one site was totally erased. Fortunately we backed it up first with backupbuddy.
High hopes, no delivery.

Has been running fine for months, loved the live traffic function. Out of nowhere today three sites of mine crash within fifteen minutes. The culprit?
--- 87.255.51.44 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 1</code>0000msThe plugin is ringing but no one is home. Loved this plugin but cannot risk client’s sites with this functionality.

OMG is this ever a, uh, questionable company! After seeing the scary reviews (as well as all the unresolved issues in their support forum) I decided to try their online scanner instead. I signed up and responded to the email verification and downloaded the verification file to my root. So I try to start the scan, get nothing but errors, and a form pops up telling me to use an email address at my domain. I change it (reluctantly), and verify again. Now another form pops up asking for all of our company information including phone number which it wasn’t getting (407-000-0000). It asks me to verify yet AGAIN, but seems satisfied and invites me to start the scan. Scan doesn’t start AGAIN and it sends me through several more hoops, and finally informs me that it will call me within a day to verify that I really want a scan. lol NO THANK YOU. There was no option to delete the acct I made, so Acunetix.. please delete my acct for your online scanning. You can identify it by my phone number: 407-000-0000.
Edited to add: “Stack-based buffer overflow in Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner (WVS) 8 build 20120704 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTML file containing an IMG element with a long URL (src attribute)” from https://www.securiteam.com/securitynews/5NP3600D5Q.html
Edited again to add: Someone tried to log into my site five times yesterday with the user name “1”. The hostname was “ec2-54-224-125-192.compute-1.amazonaws .com” and the referral was “www.acunetix-referrer .com/javascript:domxssExecutionSink(0,”‘\”><xsstag>()refdxss”)”. If there’s a reasonable explanation for this I’d sure like to hear it, but if this isn’t Acunetix they should be aware. about

Already installed this a year ago, after testing some other security plugins.
Did the job fine without errors (especially the database changes required a full backup of your site. Any security plugin installation does, right?)
Other plugins might have a few extra features. But I have the feeling, the lock downs here and made by professionals (see their site) and have kept my site safe (which is a wonder these days)

Какое-то время все было нормально, и вдруг сайт стал тупить. Другой плагин-сканер выявил причину. На 98% аж затуплял. Нужно забанить плагин и разработчика!!!!!!!!!!!
Что именно делает плагин в этот момент я не разбирался, мне это не нужно, и времени небыло. Но думаю хорошего он точно ничего не делает!

Okay – it is minor, near as I can figure – some script kiddie (I assume) added a blob of Base 64 to the top of every file named functions.php in the Themes directory.
But, kids,* my client here is a fighter pilot. He’s in superb shape, he’s had special combat training and I-don’t-know-what-all.
*Yes, kids. I’m probably old enough to be your mother. Or, at least, your mother-in-law.

This plugin is one of the best. I read users lost their site, it is not plugin fault, it is database access rights.In wp-config.php set user to root and then in wordpress change database prefix, after that change back to limited access user for database, because this plugin change wp-config.php attribute to new databse prefix and then cant change database prefix in mysql(lack of user rights)… and worpress search with new database prefix name and cant find tables in database is the unchanged tables prefix…
When someone lost his site , in phpmyadmin see database prefix and manual change in wp-config.php database prefix to old one. And works again all. ??

Please refer to this article for more information on how to create an .htaccess file.
The link being: https://www.acunetix.com/blog/web-security-zone/articles/what-is-an-htaccess-file/ , which is 404.
Other pieces of Descriptions: “This Plugin”, which Plugin? No Link…
Interesting way to learn about main WP security issues, but other than that, no, sorry – feels a bit faulty.
Disable > Remove, I’m afraid to say.

I’ve used this plugin for a while and haven’t experienced the issues other reviewers have mentioned.
I have tested site speed with it installed and active and got a 90% speed grade and an 84% YSlow grade. Uninstalled it, deleted cache, tried again. Got no difference results.
For me it has gave me a bit of piece of a mind as the changes it recommended when I first installed it made sense. And it has had no negative impact on other areas of my site.
So I would recommend it.

The weird thing is that they created two plugins: Acunetix WP Security, and Actunetix Secure WordPress (yes, like the “Judeans People Front” and the People’s Front of Judea, from Brian’s Life).
And also it not consistent: in one options page it recommends me to change 644 permissions from settings.php to a lower value, while in other page, it changes that settings to 644 to the same file. And it says that you have a lot of problems, but doesn’t fix most of them automatically. So it’s confusing, and complex to understand and use. Previous versions were much better ??
