WordPress firewall setup and what you need to know…
Security is key in the online world. There are many malicious attacks that can take place on a website and there are also simple things you can do to protect yourself against such attacks. One of those simple things you can do to protect your site is to setup a Firewall.
Please follow the steps below to set this up in seconds.
- Log into your site and visit Plugins > Add New
- Search for Shield
- Install and activate
That is literally all you need to do to provide a good level of security on your site.
What makes the Shield different?
- No “Pro” restrictions on security features – it’s ALL there for you.
- Easy-To-Setup User Interface.
- It won’t break your website – you’ll never get that horrible, pit-of-your stomach feeling you get with other security plugins when your website doesn’t load anymore.
- Super Admin Security – the only WordPress Security Plugin that protects against tampering.
- Exclusive membership to a private security group where you can learn more about WordPress security.

Thanks for sharing, hadn’t heard about this one. Is it similar to WordFence?
Similar but different options.
Thanks will give it a try :-)
