Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about SiteFort Security – Malware Scanner, Firewall, Login Security & Hardening
Yes. A disposable WordPress demo with SiteFort preinstalled is available at https://demo.securewp.net/. No signup or installation is required, and the demo resets when the session ends.
Yes. When SiteFort 2FA and WooCommerce are enabled, customers can manage two-factor authentication from My Account → Account security. SiteFort can also add 2FA management to membership sites, LMS dashboards, client portals, and other custom account pages. CAPTCHA protection supports WooCommerce login and registration and can also be added to supported custom login and registration forms. See the SiteFort hardening documentation for custom integration details.
SiteFort verifies known files by hash and sends only unknown or suspicious files for deeper cloud analysis. This reduces scan workload on the hosting server while still providing deep threat analysis for files that require it. Database and content checks remain on the protected site.
No. Database and content checks run on the protected site. File hashes are sent first, and only files that cannot be verified by hash may be uploaded for deeper analysis. If wp-config.php requires analysis, sensitive configuration values are removed before upload.
SiteFort can verify supported search crawlers using reverse DNS and published IP information where available. This helps distinguish legitimate crawlers from requests impersonating known search engines.
Yes. SiteFort supports Cloudflare-proxied WordPress sites and can synchronize supported IP, country, and user-agent firewall rules using a scoped API token.
Yes. Country rules support both block-selected and allow-only modes. Country detection can use Cloudflare country information on proxied sites or a locally installed MaxMind GeoLite2 database.
No. SiteFort identifies known vulnerabilities and provides affected-version, severity, CVE, and remediation information where available. Firewall controls can reduce automated discovery attempts while vulnerable software is updated, replaced, or removed.
Yes. SiteFort can identify malware, suspicious administrator accounts, injected content, exposed files, and other indicators of compromise. Free includes file quarantine, while Pro adds one-click repair and clean-file restore for supported files. Securewp expert cleanup is also available for incidents requiring hands-on investigation.
Yes. SiteFort supports shared hosting, managed WordPress hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed, and Cloudflare-proxied environments. Hash-first verification and cloud-assisted deep analysis help reduce scan workload on the hosting server.
