  • The Best Product out there

    Great, flawless, easy to use... We've tried a half dozen other products, most caused issues and broke some functionality. This plugin is flawless, we will be buying Pro version to support creator.

  • Great Security Plugin

    I have used this plugin on several pages now for quite a while and it works smoothly with Divi Theme and other plugins so far. It is providing my website the requested safety. Initially I was looking for a plugin to check for the file permissions to be set correctly and to change them if needed, which lead me to this one. I had a small issue which was answered and solved quickly.
