"Excellent Protection For Wordpress Websites"
4.5/5
What do you like best about WordFence?

I like how you can set Wordpress to stop bruteforce attacks to your liking. The firewall features are so in depth even for the free version and there are a lot of settings you can try based on what threat you are experiencing. With the rate limiting feature, you can further enhance the protection of your login and sign up page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordFence?

Live Traffic eats up too much resources so I had to disable it. We will enable it when we have already upgraded our server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WordFence?

WordFence is the only name that comes to my mind when it comes to WordPress website security. It has become the best and most used security plugin. It provides all the necessary features that you need to secure your website against all those nasty attacks and vulnerabilities. It blocks each and every attack on your website like a boss.

What do you dislike about WordFence?

WordFence free plugin is great and is more than sufficient for most users but the premium version is a bit costly in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Protect your Wordpress website from attacks with Wordfence."
5/5
What do you like best about WordFence?

It is the best tool I have used to protect my website from malicious attacks, by simply installing the plugin we can perform a quick scan by scanning our website for viruses, malicious codes and vulnerabilities.

The plugin has an intuitive interface with a message guide to follow in order to configure it correctly. It is surprising the number of attacks that can be prevented, in just a few days of use we can see the traffic of our website and verify the suspicious ip addresses which the plugin automatically blocks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordFence?

What I don't like very much is that the plugin has many options and it is a bit complex to configure at the beginning, for beginner users it can be overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"If you have a WordPress website, you absolutely need WordFence!"
5/5
What do you like best about WordFence?

In my opinion, WordFence is the best and most-trusted WordPress security plugin out there. It protects your website from every kind of security attack and constantly scans and monitors your website for possible security issues and alerts you if it finds any. It has protection against any kind of nasty attack that hackers use like DDOS, Brute Force, XMLPRC exploit etc and provides tons of scanning and blocking features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordFence?

There are no downsides of using WordFence in my opinion. Only one thing that I would like to suggest is to lower the prices of the premium plan. The free plan is sufficient for most of the people but premium plan has some really useful features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
