Overview
Every day, thousands of WordPress sites are hacked. Most security plugins offer protection, but they come with a massive cost: they slow down your server with bloated features and complex settings.

Whether you are trying to recover a hacked site or proactively defend your business, Protector delivers enterprise-grade security that anyone can configure. With our new 1-Click Security Overview Dashboard, you can activate all recommended protections and block 98% of automated attacks in under 8 seconds.
