Does WordFence Need to Run on Frontend?

Hello,

I’m using a plugin manager to disable plugins that run on the frontend of our site in order to optimize it by removing plugins that have no bearing on how pages and posts are rendered on the frontend. According to the plugin manager, WordFence is running everywhere on the frontend.

If I prevent WordFence from running in the frontend and allow it to run only in the backend, will that cause any security vulnerabilities?

Thank you and have a good day!
