What a great plugin!

It’s my top recommendation for security plugins on WordPress sites.It includes all the security features I need.

基本的なセキュリティ機能が揃っています

タイトル通りです。AIOS等の定番プラグインと比べると機能は少ないですが、必要最低限の対策が揃っており設定が非常にわかりやすいので使いやすいです。これだけでは不安という人はBBQ Firewallを併用すると良いです。

Works silently

It works silently in the background. This is the only security plugin I use, since a W***fence update broke my site about a year back. Gives me a peace of mind.
