SiteLock Security — Усиление WP, защита входа и сканирование на наличие вредоносного ПО
= 🌟 Completely Redesigned in Version 5.0 (November 2025) 🌟 =
This November marks a milestone: the SiteLock WordPress Plugin has been rebuilt with three goals: make it faster, make it clearer and move the heavy work to the cloud. We built a cloud-first architecture, modernized UI, expanded security controls and stripped out everything that didn’t need to be there.
Значительные изменения: — 🔒 Улучшены средства защиты и контроля авторизации, разработанные специально для WordPress — ☁️ Обновлена облачная архитектура сканирования, не замедляющая производительность — 🩺 Добавлена новая секция «Здоровье сайта», отображающая все важные данные на одной странице — ⚡ Упрощено управление: меньше шагов для изменения настроек защиты — ✨ Заново переписан код плагина, специально для свежих версий WordPress — 🔢 В скором будущем: двухфакторная аутентификация
Всё ещё пользуетесь старой версией? Новая версия переписана с нуля! Новый пользователь? Вы начинаете с самой чистой и быстрой версии плагина!
Your website deserves protection that’s simple, fast and built for WordPress. SiteLock WordPress Security focuses on the everyday controls that matter most and helps you establish a secure baseline in minutes — WordPress-specific hardening, login protection and a clear Site Health dashboard that keeps you in control without slowing your site down. It’s lightweight, action-first protection that complements your host defenses: essential safeguards run inside WordPress while deeper checks happen securely in the SiteLock cloud. Skip heavy on-server scans and alert fatigue — run on-demand checks when you need extra assurance, so you can ship updates with confidence.
Security that grows with you
Our goal is straightforward: maintain a strong baseline with minimal overhead while giving you clear visibility and room to grow as your needs evolve. And because security is never static, this plugin keeps pace. Next up: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to strengthen login security (coming soon).

Can I Fix an Already-Infected Site with This Plugin?
The plugin focuses on prevention, posture and visibility — not full malware removal. It isn’t designed to fully clean up sites that were infected before it was active. If your site is already compromised, act quickly, we recommend:
- Restoring from a clean backup if available
- Remove malicious files manually or with professional help
- For urgent assistance, consider SiteLock 911 – Emergency Malware Removal for rapid cleanup
- For ongoing defense, consider choosing a comprehensive SiteLock plan
