Wordfence is the best add-on for WordPress security
Wordfence is a solid shield for your WordPress site, designed with a two-layered approach: a proactive firewall and a thorough malware scanner. At its core, Wordfence is powered by the Threat Defense Feed, ensuring your site is always one step ahead of potential threats with the latest firewall regulations, malware identifiers, and known IP addresses. Enriched with two-factor authentication (2FA) and a suite of elite features, Wordfence stands as the pinnacle of WordPress security solutions.

WordPress Security Scanner: Redefining vigilance
Our malware scanner digs deep into core files, themes and plugins to ensure they remain uninfected. Here's a snapshot of its capabilities:
- Premium Advantage: Instant malware signature updates via the Threat Protection channel.
