WPS Hide Login Reviews
Simple & Useful
Works well for hiding the login URL. Setup was easy, no issues so far. Helps a bit with security, cz bots can’t find wp-login easily. Not super advanced, but it does the job. tnkz devs
Simple, effective, and essential for basic WordPress security
I’ve been using WPS Hide Login for quite some time, and it has been a simple yet very effective addition to my WordPress setup. What I appreciate most is how lightweight and straightforward it is.
Does not perform its stated function
Within a couple of hours after we change the secret address, search engines directly request it. If they are able to find it out, and so soon, then this plugin is useless.
