Guardlo Security & Malware Scanner with Trust Badge

Guardlo is a lightweight security tool designed to verify your website’s basic infrastructure and provide security monitoring. It also includes a Trust Badge feature that allows you to display your website’s security status to your visitors.

The Guardlo core scanner is built to have a minimal impact on server performance by verifying essential WordPress files on demand, rather than running continuous background processes that consume resources.

WordPress Security & Login Protection Guardlo acts as an alternative to heavy firewall plugins. It provides essential security tools including a malware scanner, server environment checks, and integration with a visual security badge.

Standard Features

• Trust Badge: Display a security badge in your website footer to show visitors that your site is actively monitored.
• Elementor Integration: Includes a native Elementor widget to easily position the Trust Badge on your pages, with 3 design layouts available.
• Basic Core Malware Scan: Scan all WordPress root PHP files (including wp-config.php, wp-login.php, index.php) for known malicious code signatures.
• Environment Security Check: Verify that your server is running secure and up-to-date PHP versions.
• SSL & Connection Verification: Check if your website is properly routing traffic through an encrypted SSL connection.
