Really Simple Security Pro

A WordPress site faces threats at several points: weak passwords, outdated plugins, hostile traffic and unencrypted connections. Covering each one usually means installing several separate tools. This plugin groups those protections in a single interface, with preset configurations that reduce the amount of manual setup. It suits people who are new to security as well as those who want finer control.

On the hardening side, it applies preset configurations and checks such as file permissions and admin user restrictions. Login protection adds two-factor authentication and attempt limits. Recurring scans look at plugins, themes and WordPress core, while the firewall filters traffic by IP address, region, user agent or repeated 404 errors. SSL enforcement handles redirects and mixed content, and security headers protect visitors on the front end.

Features

• WordPress hardening presets: Over 15 preset configurations, including file permissions checks and admin user restrictions, strengthen the core of your site without hand-editing settings.
• Login protection: Enforce strong passwords, turn on two-factor authentication and limit login attempts. The Have I Been PWNED service is used to check for compromised credentials.
• Vulnerability scanning: Recurring scans cover plugins, themes and WordPress core. Email and dashboard alerts report issues, and force-update or quarantine options are available for affected components.
• Firewall traffic blocking: Block unwanted traffic by IP address, geographic region, user agent or excessive 404 errors, keeping bad actors away from your site.
• Security headers for visitors: Apply headers such as HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), Content Security Policy and Referrer Policy. A learning mode helps with more complex configurations.
• HTTPS enforcement: Enforce HTTPS with proper 301 redirects and mixed content fixes. SSL server health checks help confirm the encrypted connection stays in good order.
• Alerts in dashboard and email: Vulnerability findings arrive as email notices and dashboard alerts, so you can see which components need attention and act on them.
