Overview

WordPress Security Plugin & Firewall (WAF)

Every day, automated bots and hackers bombard websites with attacks. Mass botnets, fake search engine crawlers, brute-force login attempts, and spam bots can overwhelm your WordPress site – stealing data, overloading your server, and defacing content. It’s a 24/7 threat to your business. If you’re looking for WordPress site protection, you need a proactive defense that stops these attacks before they reach your website.

BotBlocker Security is the all-in-one solution to keep your site safe from automated threats. This powerful WordPress security plugin and Web Application Firewall (WAF) acts as a dedicated anti-bot firewall, blocking malicious traffic at the front gate without slowing down your site.

Best bot protection

Best bot protection + awesome support.

Отличный антибот!
by alexeyit·1 month ago·2 replies

Наверное самый лучший и самый быстрый антибот. И главное, реально снизил нагрузку на сервер, притом ощутимо! Спасибо вам огромное. Добавьте плиз по-больше ИИшек в белый лист! Ну и отдельный респект за такую крутую статистику посещений, это реально круто.

Lightweight Security Plugin That Effectively Stops Bots and Brute-Force Attacks
by justinwill·3 months ago

BotBlocker Security plugin significantly reduced unwanted bot traffic and brute-force attacks on my site while remaining lightweight and easy to configure. Its intuitive interface and strong firewall protection give me much greater confidence in my site’s security.

Excellent Plugin
by gwm73·3 months ago·2 replies

I tried a few bot blocker plugins but none are as a good as this one. Setup is a breeze and the info/settings are well presented and easy to understand. So far malicious bots are not getting through. I was experiencing WooCommerce checkout attacks – 100’s per hour – and they have thankfully now been blocked and 404 errors have dropped dramatically. Over all I am exceptionally happy with the plugin and I would like to thank fhe authour for their great work and I am considering upgrading to pro.
