Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about PureGuard — Bot Protection & Performance

In Off mode, never. In Medium mode, only confirmed bots. In High mode, uncertain visitors may briefly see a JavaScript challenge. In Strict mode, suspicious visitors are blocked too — use it only when you want humans-only traffic. Lockdown blocks everyone except logged-in users and search engines.

Turn on the censorship-friendly filter (Security Mode tab). Visitors flagged only for VPN/proxy usage are never hard-blocked — at most they see a quick automatic browser check that real people pass in seconds.

Yes. Add your PureGuard API key under Settings → PureGuard. Get one at https://pureguard.io.

Verdicts are cached per visitor (default 1 hour), so the API is called at most once per visitor per cache window. Logged-in users and search engines are skipped. The Performance view of the Live dashboard shows you the exact latency and cache-hit numbers.

In a small table in your own WordPress database, pruned automatically to the last 30 days. You can turn the local log off in Settings → General.
