With an intuitive dashboard, detailed statistics, and advanced settings, Guardify empowers you to secure your site effortlessly.<\/p>\n\n<h3>\ud83d\udd10 Key Features:<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p><strong>Advanced Web Application Firewall (WAF)<\/strong><br \/>\nIntercepts and filters all incoming traffic before it reaches WordPress. Blocks SQL injection, XSS, RFI, LFI, and other attack vectors.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Brute Force Attack Protection<\/strong><br \/>\nBlocks repeated login attempts by limiting login frequency and analyzing IP reputation.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>2-Factor Authentication (2FA)<\/strong><br \/>\nAdds an extra layer of login security for admin users, using time-based one-time passwords (TOTP).<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Real-Time Activity Logs<\/strong><br \/>\nTrack login attempts, blocked IPs, suspicious requests, and system actions with detailed logs. View statistics by day, week, or month.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Custom IP Whitelisting &amp; Blacklisting<\/strong><br \/>\nControl access to your site by adding IPs or IP ranges to allow or deny lists. Includes temporary blocking for failed login attempts.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>GeoIP Blocking<\/strong><br \/>\nBlock or allow access from specific countries using the MaxMind GeoIP2 database integration.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Bot Access Control<\/strong><br \/>\nDetect and manage access from known bots, scrapers, and fake crawlers. Option to block non-human traffic.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Anti-PHP Injection &amp; File Access Blocking<\/strong><br \/>\nPrevents direct access to PHP files in sensitive directories such as <code>\/wp-includes\/<\/code> and <code>\/wp-content\/uploads\/<\/code>.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Block Plugin and Theme Installation<\/strong><br \/>\nRestrict installation of new plugins and themes via the WordPress dashboard \u2014 even by administrators. This helps prevent unauthorized or accidental installation of insecure components. Manual installation via FTP remains possible.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Block Theme Editor<\/strong><br \/>\nDisable access to the Theme Editor (<code>\/wp-admin\/theme-editor.php<\/code>) to prevent direct file editing. This minimizes the risk of malicious code injection or unintentional file corruption.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Forbidden Comment Words Filter<\/strong><br \/>\nAutomatically mark comments as spam if they contain forbidden words or patterns (e.g., <code>http<\/code>, <code>viagra<\/code>, <code>casino<\/code>, <code>porn<\/code>). Helps drastically reduce comment spam by detecting common keywords and links.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Auto Block IPs in .htaccess<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen enabled, IPs that exceed the rate limit are automatically added to the <code>.htaccess<\/code> file for permanent blocking. This server-level block prevents any further requests. Use with care, as shared or corporate IPs may be affected.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Email Notifications<\/strong><br \/>\nStay informed with email alerts about critical security events, such as admin login attempts or IP bans.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Customizable Firewall Rules<\/strong><br \/>\nAdvanced users can fine-tune rules with regex filters, HTTP method checks, user-agent filters, and more.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>User-Friendly Admin Interface<\/strong><br \/>\nGuardify features a modern and intuitive UI built using native WordPress design language.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Clean Uninstall<\/strong><br \/>\nAutomatically cleans up all data, logs, and settings when uninstalled\u2014leaving your database clean.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the <code>guardify<\/code> folder to the <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>Visit the Guardify Dashboard under the admin menu to configure settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id='how%20does%20guardify%20protect%20my%20site%3F'><h3>How does Guardify protect my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Guardify uses a web application firewall to filter all incoming requests, blocking malicious activity like brute force attacks, injections, and unauthorized file access.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id='does%20it%20slow%20down%20my%20site%3F'><h3>Does it slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No!
