Looking Good

  • Before Wordfence I tried a number of different website protection plugins to help protect my website.

    I downloaded Wordfence saying to myself that this is my last chance and if this doesn’t work, I am going to have to pay tons of money to get someone to build me a personalised protection system.

    The moment it was downloaded and activated I followed the easy step by step setup convinced that this was going to reck my site like the last four plugins leading me to having to start over again and reinstalling my website. I signed up to the free plan and ran the pluging as instructed.

    I couldn’t beleive it! The 2FA worked like a charm without blocking my users login form unlike all the other plugins did. It appeared to adapt to my website theme without causing any problems. Believing this can’t be true, I purged the website and got a warning message that I should run a scan to allow the Wordfence to “get to know and verify my site”. Once that was done, I got a number of problems that needed some attention and resolved. I followed the recommendations from Wordfense and BAM! My website worked like a charm. Cleaner, faster, and protected.

    I’m not quite at the stage for the premuim selection as I am only just starting out. But if this keeps going the way it does, and Wordfence doesn’t turn into a money making information collection corperate business I will be more than happy to move to the next level.

    I have not tried their support service as I have not had need to do so as the plugin seems to help you do everything yourself just by fillowing the small popups that appear when an action is required.

    I recommend this plugin, it may not be adpated for all themes or websites, but it has saved me a ton of stress as I am not at all a programmer and I am far from being a specialist in website building.

    I shall consult the support service before upgrading at a later date where I shall be able to add more feedback to this comment.

    For now, Thanks Wordfence, I hope we can make this work for as long as possible.

    Thank-you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed five-star review @bones196!

    We’re thrilled to hear that Wordfence has been able to provide the protection and peace of mind you were looking for after trying other solutions. It’s great to know that the 2FA feature worked seamlessly with your website theme and didn’t cause the disruptions you’ve experienced with your other attempts. I will note that our Login Security features are currently designed to work with WordPress and WooCommerce default login/registration pages so it’s clearly right for your use-case.

    We also appreciate your feedback on the setup process, and we’re happy to hear that the plugin was easy to follow and helped you clean up and speed up your website in the process. It’s fantastic to know that you’re finding it user-friendly even without extensive technical knowledge. We do expect Wordfence to be installed on a vast range of PHP versions, server configurations, and admin experience levels so it’s geared to be as “one size fits all” out of the box, even though there are plenty of configuration options covered in our?plugin documentation should you ever want to dive a bit deeper. Our?Learning Center?is another resource we provide free of charge to explain what Wordfence does and how you can protect yourself further.

    Regarding your future plans, we understand your caution and appreciate your trust in Wordfence. We’ve always been committed to providing great value in our free plugin and maintaining the integrity of our services as we grow. Since 2012, our founders have not only advanced the plugin itself, but also established an in-house?Threat Intelligence?team along with a generous?Bug Bounty?program. This allows us, with the hard work of others in the community to find issues that directly protect our customers with new firewall rules and improved malware detection.

    If you ever have any questions or need guidance along the way, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re unable to discuss upgrades here on the forums, so by all means contact our excellent team at presales @ wordfence . com if you want to know more.

    Thanks again for your support and kind words. We look forward to continuing to help protect your website!

    Peter.
