WordPress plugin
Qevix Shield
Qevix Shield hardens the parts of WordPress attackers hit first - the login form, XML-RPC, file access, and the URLs that leak information - all in one plugin. It installs neutral: nothing changes until you switch it on, and nothing can lock you out.
In depth
Security that stays out of your way
Qevix Shield hardens the parts of WordPress attackers hit first - the login form, XML-RPC, file access, and the URLs that leak information - and writes everything it blocks to a live, searchable audit log.
The free plugin is a complete security suite, not a teaser. Out of the box it gives you a hidden login URL, brute-force lockouts, two-factor authentication that even covers XML-RPC logins, reCAPTCHA (v2 and invisible v3), password rules, a request firewall, file and server hardening, core-file malware scanning and grouped email alerts. Every protection ships off until you read what it does and switch it on, one at a time, so nothing breaks on activation.
And nothing can lock you out of your own site. A one-line safe mode in wp-config.php suspends everything, reCAPTCHA keys must pass a live test before they can be enabled, a real person the bot check misjudges is emailed a one-time sign-in link, and 2FA ships downloadable recovery codes plus an admin reset.
Qevix Shield Pro adds what happens after detection: full-site malware scanning across plugins, themes, uploads and the database - with quarantine and scheduled scans - breached-password checks against Have I Been Pwned, advanced login blocking, all-user session management, granular XML-RPC control, and instant attack alerts by SMS, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord or webhook. The whole wave arrives as one digest, never fifty notifications at 3 a.m.
Licensing stays out of your way. Plans cover a single site up to your whole portfolio. The license validates locally - your visitors' page loads never wait on our servers - and if it ever lapses, your settings and data stay exactly where they were.
