Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

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.
