BitFire takes a different approach to WordPress security.
Traditional WAFs such as Cloudflare or Wordfence inspect every incoming request against a long list of rules and known attack patterns. BitFire instead protects your site from inside WordPress, monitoring what your code is actually doing as it runs.
Additional security checks are triggered only when your site crosses an important security boundary — such as writing a PHP file, creating an administrator account, or modifying sensitive database data. Normal page requests can pass through without running unnecessary security checks.
This means BitFire can provide strong runtime protection without adding the overhead of running every request through a large firewall ruleset.
BitFire also includes an extremely fast malware scanner, allowing you to scan your site frequently without slowing it down or consuming excessive server resources.
The BitFire dashboard gives you a detailed view of your website traffic, with fast filtering
