Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WordSec – Malware Scanner & Removal, Web Application Firewall (WAF), and 2FA

No. WordSec is built around minimal database queries, batch processing and smart caching so protection does not come at the cost of performance.

No. WordSec installs and runs as a fully functional free plugin with local protection: the web application firewall (your own custom rules plus the built-in preset rules), brute-force and login protection, two-factor authentication, hardening, geo-blocking configuration, the audit log and more all work without any key.

No, not to run. WordSec's core protection runs locally on your server, and with no license key it contacts no external WordSec service at all.

WordPress 6.9+, PHP 7.4+, and MySQL 5.6+ / MariaDB 10.1+.
