## Opis

Most WordPress security problems start with familiar weak points: exposed files,
outdated plugins, unsafe logins, weak passwords, noisy bots, missed hardening rules,
or hidden malware already sitting on the site. SiteFort brings those protection 
layers into one place.

Turn on firewall rules, block bad bots, protect logins with 2FA and CAPTCHA, scan
for vulnerable plugins and themes, harden risky settings, monitor security events,
and check for malware, backdoors, web shells, injected scripts, SEO spam, suspicious
redirects, hidden admin risks, breached passwords, and exposed sensitive files.

Shaped by real hacked-site recovery experience, SiteFort is designed to protect 
busy sites without adding unnecessary server strain. It uses fast local file hashing,
selective cloud analysis for unknown or suspicious files, on-site database checks,
rate limits, and bad-request blocking to keep protection lightweight.

#### CORE SECURITY FEATURES

 * **WordPress hardening** locks down XML-RPC, user enumeration, REST access, application
   passwords, file editing, PHP execution, sensitive files, version output, directory
   listing, and security headers.
 * **Login security and 2FA** protect accounts with authenticator app codes, email
   codes, recovery codes, custom login URL, brute-force lockouts, CAPTCHA, and safer
   generic login errors.
 * **Password protection** includes weak-password detection, strong-password enforcement,
   breached-password checks, password reuse prevention, and password expiration 
   policies.
 * **Vulnerability scanner** checks WordPress core, plugins, and themes against 
   known vulnerability intelligence with severity, affected assets, CVE references,
   and recommended action.
 * **Firewall and traffic protection** block bad bots, abusive IPs, country traffic,
   crawlers, user agents, rate-limit abuse, and requests looking for exposed files
   or weak points.
 * **Cloudflare rule sync** can push supported IP, country, and user-agent rules
   to Cloudflare so high-volume blocks can happen before traffic reaches WordPress.
 * **Easy bot filter policy** gives you Basic, Balanced, and Maximum bot protection
   with SEO-safe defaults for trusted search engines and social previews.
 * **Cloud-assisted malware scanner** uses fast hash checks first, then deeper cloud
   file analysis for unknown or suspicious files to detect backdoors, web shells,
   malicious PHP, injected scripts, SEO spam, unsafe URLs, redirects, modified files,
   and exposed sensitive files.
 * **Full-site security review** checks files, user accounts, content, database 
   safety, reputation, sensitive file exposure, server state, hidden admin risks,
   and weak security posture.
 * **Audit log and Console** provide event history, security evidence, multi-site
   visibility, remote workflows, reports, team access, and alert routing.

#### PERFORMANCE-FIRST WORDPRESS SECURITY

Security should protect your site without slowing it down. SiteFort is designed 
for busy WordPress sites, WooCommerce stores, agencies, and shared or managed hosting
where heavy scans and bot traffic can waste server resources.

 * **Hash-first scanning** checks known files quickly before deeper analysis is 
   needed.
 * **Selective cloud analysis** reviews suspicious files without making your server
   do all the heavy malware work.
 * **On-site database checks** inspect database safety without uploading database
   content to the cloud.
 * **Bad-bot blocking** reduces scraping, automated abuse, repeated 404 hits, and
   bots hunting for weak points.
 * **Cloudflare Sync** can push supported firewall rules to Cloudflare before traffic
   reaches WordPress.

#### WORDPRESS SECURITY SCANNER

SiteFort is not limited to basic file scanning. It runs a layered security review
of the WordPress site and organizes findings by severity.

 * **Hash-first file analysis** – checks local file hashes first so known clean 
   and known malicious files can be resolved quickly without expensive server-side
   scanning.
 * **Deep malware detection** – sends only unknown or suspicious files for deeper
   cloud analysis when needed, helping detect backdoors, web shells, malware variants,
   suspicious PHP, injected code, SEO spam, malicious redirects, unsafe URLs, and
   exposed sensitive files.
 * **File integrity checks** – reviews WordPress core, plugins, themes, uploads,
   and custom files for unauthorized changes and clean-file restore opportunities.
 * **User account security** – detects weak account posture, breached passwords,
   risky roles, suspicious user data, and administrator accounts that need review.
 * **Ghost administrator detection** – flags hidden or unexpected administrator 
   accounts, including suspicious admin users created outside normal site workflows.
 * **Content and database safety** – checks WordPress data locally for injected 
   malicious content, suspicious options, unsafe URLs, spam injections, malicious
   redirect indicators, and database-level threats.
 * **Domain and IP reputation** – checks reputation context for the website domain
   and server IP so blocklist or abuse signals are visible before they affect trust.
 * **Sensitive file exposure** – finds exposed backups, logs, config files, debug
   files, server fragments, dotfiles, and other files attackers commonly search 
   for.
 * **Vulnerability scanner** – checks WordPress core, plugins, and themes for known
   vulnerabilities, affected versions, severity, CVE references where available,
   and recommended action.
 * **Server state checks** – reviews public paths, security headers, file exposure,
   and server conditions that can make compromise easier.

Cloud-assisted file scanning helps reduce server load while content and database
checks run on your website. Your database content never leaves your site.

#### WORDPRESS FIREWALL

SiteFort helps block unwanted traffic before it keeps wasting your server resources.
Create simple firewall rules for IPs, countries, bots, crawlers, and user agents
without writing custom security rules.

 * **IP and country rules** let you block or allow traffic by IP address, CIDR range,
   country, bot, crawler, or user agent.
 * **Country blocking** supports both block-selected and allow-only modes.
 * **Sensitive file protection** helps stop bots looking for `.env`, `.git`, `wp-
   config.php` backups, SQL dumps, debug logs, installer files, exposed metadata,
   and other risky paths.
 * **Cloudflare Sync** can push supported IP, country, and user-agent rules to Cloudflare
   so high-volume blocks happen before traffic reaches WordPress.
 * **Temporary edge blocks** can block repeat attackers at Cloudflare when Cloudflare
   Sync is configured.
 * **Rate limiting and 404 controls** help reduce abusive spikes, repeated missing-
   page requests, and automated traffic noise.
 * **Community threat intelligence** helps block traffic from malicious IPs seen
   across the SiteFort network.
 * **Vulnerability-hunting bot protection** helps block bots looking for vulnerable
   plugins, themes, backup files, configuration leaks, and version details.

#### EASY BOT FILTER POLICY

Not all bots are bad. SiteFort gives you simple bot protection levels so you can
block unwanted automation while keeping trusted search engines, social previews,
and major crawlers allowed.

 * **Basic** blocks known hacking tools and bots looking for vulnerable files.
 * **Balanced** blocks hacking tools, scraping bots, and automated scripts. Recommended
   for most sites.
 * **Maximum** blocks hacking tools, scrapers, automated scripts, and unrecognized
   bot traffic.

Use the policy that fits your site, then adjust rules as needed from the firewall
dashboard.

#### LOGIN SECURITY AND 2FA

Account takeover is one of the fastest ways to lose control of a WordPress site.
SiteFort adds layered login protection without requiring multiple plugins.

 * Role-based two-factor authentication.
 * Authenticator app codes.
 * Email verification codes.
 * Recovery codes.
 * Brute-force lockouts.
 * CAPTCHA protection.
 * Custom login URL.
 * Weak password detection.
 * Breached-password detection.
 * Strong-password enforcement.
 * Password expiration policies.
 * Generic login errors to reduce username guessing.
 * XML-RPC and REST authentication controls.

#### WORDPRESS SECURITY HARDENING

SiteFort helps close the exposure points attackers check first, then verifies whether
key protections are actually working.

 * **XML-RPC controls** – disable XML-RPC, restrict XML-RPC authentication, or block
   pingback abuse where appropriate.
 * **User enumeration blocking** – reduce username leaks from author archives, REST
   endpoints, and common discovery paths.
 * **Sensitive file protection** – block public access to `.env`, backups, logs,
   debug files, `.git` metadata, lock files, sample configs, and server fragments.
 * **PHP execution protection** – block PHP execution in uploads and direct PHP 
   access inside plugin/theme folders where supported.
 * **Directory listing protection** – reduce exposure from browsable upload, plugin,
   theme, or backup directories.
 * **File editor protection** – disable the built-in theme/plugin file editor to
   reduce damage from compromised admin accounts.
 * **REST and application password controls** – restrict risky REST access and application
   password behavior based on site needs.
 * **Version and metadata cleanup** – hide WordPress version output and reduce exposed
   generator/header signals.
 * **Security headers** – analyze and manage CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-
   Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, and disclosure headers such
   as `X-Powered-By`, `Server`, and `X-Generator`.
 * **Verified hardening** – SiteFort checks whether supported hardening rules are
   enforced and shows what may require manual hosting or server configuration.

#### VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT

SiteFort checks installed WordPress core, plugin, and theme versions against vulnerability
intelligence and shows affected assets, severity, CVE references where available,
and recommended fixes.

SiteFort does not claim to virtually patch vulnerable code. Instead, it helps you
identify affected components, prioritize fixes, update where possible, and reduce
reconnaissance with scanner-bot blocking while you patch.

**Pro:** automated vulnerability alerts notify teams when a known vulnerability 
affects an installed plugin, theme, or WordPress core version.

#### ONE-CLICK REPAIR AND RESTORE

**Pro:** SiteFort adds guided repair workflows so you can act on scan findings without
manually editing files over FTP or SSH.

 * **Repair or delete malicious files** directly from scan results.
 * **Restore clean WordPress core, plugin, and theme files** when a trusted clean
   source is available.
 * **Repair supported paid plugin/theme files** when clean-source matching is available.
 * **Quarantine suspicious files** and restore them later if needed.

For active compromise, Securewp expert cleanup and managed security services are
available when hands-on investigation, root-cause patching, blacklist help, or post-
cleanup review is needed.

#### AUDIT LOG AND SITEFORT CONSOLE

SiteFort keeps a security event history so you can quickly see what changed, what
was blocked, and what needs attention.

 * **Login activity**: successful logins, failed logins, lockouts, 2FA events, and
   account-related actions.
 * **User and site changes**: user updates, plugin/theme changes, settings changes,
   and sensitive admin actions.
 * **Firewall activity**: blocked IPs, country rules, bot blocks, rate-limit events,
   and suspicious request activity.
 * **Scanner results**: malware findings, vulnerability findings, reputation checks,
   hardening issues, and scan history.
 * **Hardening changes**: applied rules, failed rules, verified protections, and
   items that need manual review.

Use SiteFort from your WordPress dashboard for site-level protection. Connect to**
SiteFort Console** when you want centralized visibility across multiple sites.

 * **Multi-site status** for connected websites.
 * **Remote scan history** and vulnerability tracking.
 * **Uptime and SSL expiry checks**.
 * **Email, Slack, Discord, and webhook alerts**.
 * **Downloadable reports** for clients or internal review.
 * **Team roles and support workflows**.
 * **White-label options** for agencies on supported plans.

SiteFort Console is available for connected users. Some Console workflows, reporting
features, white-label options, managed services, or advanced automations may require
a paid plan.

#### HOSTING COMPATIBILITY

SiteFort is built for real WordPress hosting environments, including shared hosting,
managed hosting, VPS setups, and Cloudflare-proxied sites.

 * **Works with major web servers**: Apache, Nginx, and LiteSpeed.
 * **Works with common hosting types**: shared hosting, managed WordPress hosting,
   VPS, and dedicated servers.
 * **Cloudflare-friendly**: supports Cloudflare-proxied sites and optional Cloudflare
   rule sync.
 * **Low-resource aware**: cloud-assisted scanning helps reduce heavy scan work 
   on smaller hosting plans.
 * **Verified hardening**: SiteFort checks whether key hardening rules are actually
   enforced, not just enabled in the dashboard.

Some hardening rules depend on server permissions and hosting configuration. When
a rule cannot be applied automatically, SiteFort shows the rule status and helps
identify what needs manual server configuration.

#### PRO AND MANAGED SECURITY FEATURES

## Najczęściej zadawane pytania

### How does SiteFort help secure my website?

SiteFort adds practical protection layers for WordPress: firewall rules, bad-bot
blocking, country controls, login security, 2FA, CAPTCHA, password protection, vulnerability
checks, security hardening, audit logs, and cloud-assisted malware scanning.

It is built to help you close weak points, reduce automated abuse, detect malware,
and monitor security risks from your WordPress dashboard.

### What security risks can SiteFort find?

SiteFort checks for malware, backdoors, web shells, malicious PHP, injected scripts,
SEO spam, suspicious redirects, exposed sensitive files, hidden administrator risks,
weak or breached passwords, vulnerable plugins and themes, reputation issues, unsafe
database/content indicators, and weak hardening rules.

### How does SiteFort keep scans lightweight?

SiteFort uses hash-first file checks so known files can be resolved quickly. Only
unknown or suspicious files may be sent for deeper cloud analysis when needed.

Database and content checks run on your own website, and scan results are cached
where possible so unchanged files do not need the same work again.

### Does SiteFort send my database content to the cloud?

No. Database and content safety checks run on your own website. Your database content
never leaves your site.

For file scanning, SiteFort sends file hashes first. Only files that cannot be verified
by hash alone may be uploaded for deeper malware analysis. If `wp-config.php` requires
analysis, sensitive configuration values are removed before upload.

### Does SiteFort include firewall protection?

Yes. SiteFort includes firewall rules for IP addresses, CIDR ranges, countries, 
bots, crawlers, user agents, rate limits, suspicious requests, and bots looking 
for exposed files or weak points.

SiteFort also supports community threat intelligence and optional Cloudflare Sync
for supported firewall rules.

### Does SiteFort support country blocking and Cloudflare?

Yes. Country blocking supports block-selected and allow-only modes.

Country detection can use Cloudflare country data for proxied sites, Cloudflare 
integration when configured in SiteFort, or a local MaxMind GeoLite2 database when
a free MaxMind license is configured.

SiteFort can also sync supported IP, country, and user-agent firewall rules to Cloudflare
when the domain is proxied through Cloudflare and a scoped API token is configured.

### Will bot protection block Google or search engines?

SiteFort’s easy bot filter policy is designed to block unwanted automation while
allowing trusted search engines, social previews, and major crawlers.

You can choose Basic, Balanced, or Maximum protection depending on how aggressively
you want to filter bots, scraping tools, automated scripts, and traffic looking 
for vulnerable files.

### Does SiteFort protect WordPress logins?

Yes. SiteFort includes login security controls such as role-based 2FA, authenticator
app codes, email codes, recovery codes, brute-force lockouts, CAPTCHA, custom login
URL, generic login errors, weak-password detection, strong-password enforcement,
breached-password checks, password reuse prevention, and password expiration policies.

### What hardening protections are included?

SiteFort helps reduce common WordPress exposure by protecting sensitive files, blocking
PHP execution in risky locations, disabling directory listing, controlling XML-RPC,
blocking user enumeration, hiding version output, restricting REST access where 
appropriate, disabling application passwords, disabling the theme/plugin file editor,
and managing security headers.

Where possible, SiteFort also checks whether hardening rules are actually enforced,
not just enabled in the dashboard.

### How does SiteFort handle vulnerable plugins and themes?

SiteFort checks installed WordPress core, plugin, and theme versions against known
vulnerability intelligence. It shows affected assets, severity, CVE references where
available, and recommended actions.

SiteFort does not claim to virtually patch vulnerable code. It helps you identify
vulnerable components and reduce automated discovery attempts while you update, 
replace, or remove affected software.

### Can SiteFort help after a site is already hacked?

Yes. SiteFort can scan for malware, suspicious users, injected content, reputation
issues, exposed files, vulnerable components, and weak hardening rules.

Supported plans add one-click malware repair/restore. Expert cleanup and managed
security services are also available when hands-on response is needed.

### What features require a paid plan?

Paid plans add unlimited cloud deep threat analysis, scheduled scans, automated 
vulnerability alerts, one-click malware repair/restore, supported clean-file restoration,
uptime/SSL monitoring, Slack/Discord/email/webhook alerts, advanced reports, white-
label options, expert cleanup discounts, and managed security options.

### Do I need SiteFort Console?

No. Site-level security features are available from your WordPress dashboard.

SiteFort Console is optional for users who want centralized visibility, multi-site
management, remote workflows, reports, alert routing, uptime/SSL monitoring, team
access, and support workflows.

### Is SiteFort suitable for shared or managed hosting?

Yes. SiteFort is designed for shared hosting, managed WordPress hosting, VPS setups,
Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, and Cloudflare-proxied sites.

Hash-first file checks, selective cloud analysis, on-site database checks, bot blocking,
rate limits, and Cloudflare Sync help reduce unnecessary server work on lower-resource
hosting.

### How do I activate SiteFort Pro?

Open **SiteFort > Settings > License and Plan** in your WordPress dashboard.

You can activate with the email address used at checkout or a license key. If you
already have a free license under the same email, the site can upgrade to Pro from
the License and Plan screen.

It’s a lightweight option that packs in malware scanning, a web application firewall,
and solid hardening features. Overall, I’d say it’s a great choice if you want strong
security that doesn’t drag your site down. Definitely worth trying if you’re looking
for a modern, efficient alternative.

 [2h1n846](https://profiles.wordpress.org/2h1n846/) 2026-05-19

For years, my workflow for WordPress security was frustrating. I would install one
plugin to scan for malware, remove it after cleanup, then install and configure 
another plugin just for security hardening because the one I used for malware scanner
were too heavy to keep running all the time.SiteFort is the first plugin I’ve used
that combines both in a clean and lightweight way. Fast malware scanning, practical
hardening features, and an easy-to-use interface without slowing down the website.
Good luck to the SiteFort team 🤞
