Hello Erik. It’s been a while that I no longer use Wordfrence, just because I find its interface complex. I am on securePress, what do you think? And also for the security of a WordPress password, what do you think about redoing the WordPress login page to WordPress.com with Jetpack? I also wrote an article about it (in French: you can translate with Google translation). https://mastertuto.com/comment-securiser-identifiants-wordpress/

Web security is essential for every WordPress site.
Currently I’m using limit login attempt plugin.

But In Wordfence plugin I see some extra feature that I miss in limit login attempt plugin.

Going to change my security plugin with WordFence security plugin,
Thanks for sharing this post.

Regards,
Hamim

Great advice, Erik!
I also recommend Wordfence. I use it with all my sites and also my clients sites.

I am a WordPress user for almost 10 years now. And I can tell you one thing: During the first few years updating WP was pure terror! You would never know if it would work or not. So yes, creating backups was not at all optional! Also I had a couple of instances where my site was hacked (sucks!).

But that is all in the past! I did not have any problems since I use wordfence.

Isn’t the plugin taking too many resources?

Hi Erik

Web security is something I take seriously.

Wordfence is a great plugin and I use it in some sites. However I also use Itheme security because it has some features like setting a custom login which is not present in Wordfence.

Thanks for sharing, Take Care

Hey Erik,
I have used Wordfence Security plugin but unfortunately at the time I got my site was hacked and I bugs readily seized my root directory in WordPress.

However, the plugin has features that gave better protection and updates than what I experienced with other plugins.

I still use Wordfence Security plugin even after resolving the hack attack – I did not blame the capability of this plugin after the attack because I was alerted daily about illegal admin login.

I am planning to upgrade to premium version in due course!
