Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about BitFire Security – Firewall, Malware Scanner, Bot Blocker, Login Protection
No. BitFire adds less than 2 milliseconds per page load. That is faster than you can blink. It uses an optimized binary logging engine that is extremely lightweight.
Nope. BitFire works right out of the box. Install it, activate it, and your site is already more secure. If you want to customize settings later, everything is a simple on/off toggle.
Absolutely. BitFire was designed so you do not need to understand security to be protected by it. And if you ever have a question, our US-based support team is available 12 hours a day to help.
Yes. BitFire works great alongside CDNs like Cloudflare. Just avoid running two firewall plugins at the same time, as they can conflict with each other.
Free gives you bot blocking, malware scanning, login protection, and real-time traffic monitoring. That stops a lot of the automated attacks. Pro adds the RASP engine (which stops attacks that other firewalls miss entirely), the A+ rated WAF, AI malware analysis, 30 days of traffic history, and priority support. If your site is important to your business, Pro is worth it.
RASP stands for Runtime Application Self Protection. Instead of just looking at incoming traffic, it watches what your plugins and themes are actually doing on the server. If a vulnerable plugin tries to create a hidden admin account, modify your files, or connect to a malware server, RASP stops it instantly. This is how BitFire has blocked 100% of critical WordPress zero-day vulnerabilities since 2022, without needing any new rules.
Yes. This is one of BitFire's biggest advantages. Because RASP watches behavior instead of matching patterns, it stops new attacks that nobody has seen before. Other plugins need someone to discover the vulnerability, write a rule, and push an update. BitFire stops the attack the moment it is attempted.
When BitFire finds a file that does not match any known-good hash, it can send the suspicious code to our AI for analysis. Pro users get real-time results in about 2 minutes. Free users can submit files for batch analysis. The AI examines the code structure and behavior to determine if it is actually malicious.
Yes. BitFire includes an advanced SQL parser that understands SQL queries regardless of encoding tricks, injected comments, or other evasion techniques. It also blocks persistent, reflected, and DOM-based cross-site scripting attacks.
Pro users get priority access to our US-based support team, available 12 hours a day. Free users can reach us through the WordPress support forum or our support center. Either way, you will talk to a real person.
