WP Ghost and BBQ Firewall

Table of Contents

WP Ghost is a hack-prevention security solution for your WordPress site. Together with the BBQ Firewall plugin, it will boost your website security by stopping hacker bot attacks, spammers, and viruses and preventing data loss.

Advantages

  • Both plugins have complementary features that will boost your website security.
  • Both plugins load fast and work with SEO and Cache plugins.
  • Both plugins work on all server types (Apache, Nginx, IIS, LiteSpeed, etc).
  • WP Ghost is a hack-prevention security and prevents hacker bots from accessing vulnerable files, plugins, and themes.
  • BBQ Firewall protects your site against a wide range of threats.

HMWP Ghost will complement the BBQ Firewall plugin by offering an extra layer of protection that the other doesn’t provide.

BBQ Firewall

BBQ checks all incoming traffic and quietly blocks bad requests containing nasty stuff like:

eval(, base64_, and excessively long request-strings. 

WP Ghost

WP Ghost prevents attacks and spamming by adding multiple layers of security, a powerful firewall, hiding and securing the WP core paths and files, themes, and plugins.

It also prevents SQL and Script injections and Brute Force attacks.

Activate Security Features
