Complete WordPress security.Zero load on your site.
Your site is safe with MalCare. Complete protection trusted by 400,000+ owners — and by the experts who clean hacked sites for a living.
Your website is always under attack.
A hack isn't one problem — it's four arriving together. By MalCare's numbers, you could lose more than $10,000 to hackers.
The red warning screen — and the customers who never come back.
A hacked site endangers its neighbors — so hosts pull the plug.
Attacks burn your server resources; real visitors get the slow site.
Customer data leaks; customer devices get compromised next.
Four pillars. Zero blind spots.
Security isn't a feature — it's a system: layers that prevent attacks, detect what slips through, and recover the site if anything ever lands — all learning from a 400,000-site network.
Nothing malicious reaches your server. A real-time WordPress firewall, behavioral bot filtering, geoblocking, login hardening and 2FA stop threats at the edge — before they touch a single file.
- 01.1WordPress-specialized firewall rules covering the OWASP Top 10 — built into the site, so there's no path around it
- 01.2Behavioral bot detection convicted by the whole network — rotating IPs don't help
- 01.3Login limits, captcha, IP allowlists, built-in 2FA and one-click geoblocking close the front door
You see every change, every threat, every day. A deep off-server scan reads every file and table, vulnerability disclosures from 10+ sources are reviewed daily, and a forensic activity log keeps nothing hidden.
- 02.1Deep daily scan runs off-server — zero load on your hosting
- 02.239,000+ vulnerabilities tracked across plugins, themes and core
- 02.3Activity log records every change — who, when, and from where
One click and it's gone, content intact. Surgical malware removal strips the infection from everywhere it lives — payloads, backdoors, rogue admins, re-infecting crons — then verifies the site is clean.
- 03.1Surgical auto-clean removes malicious code and preserves your content
- 03.2Unlimited re-cleanups included — if it comes back, we clean it again
- 03.3Google blacklist and host-suspension recovery handled with you
400,000 sites make each other safer. Every attack caught anywhere in the network becomes protection everywhere — so your site is ready for attacks it has never seen.
- 04.118B+ requests analyzed every month feed the firewall and scanner
- 04.2A bot convicted on one site is turned away from all of them
- 04.3The intelligence learns continuously — no rules for you to write, ever
Seven layers. One plugin. Every door covered.
Security is a system: layers that prevent attacks, detect what slips through, and recover the site if anything ever lands. Every layer below has its own page.
Everything your site needs. Nothing it doesn't — every layer of security, automated and working before you log in.
01Malware Scanner
Finds the malware every other scanner misses. Three layers — signatures, integrity checks, and behavioral AI — read every file, table and cron job, off your server. Not "you have malware." This file, this line, this table, this row.
- 1.1Behavioral, not signature-onlyMalware is written by AI now. MalCare judges what code does, not just what it looks like.
- 1.20.2% false positivesAcross all scans — the fewest false alarms in WordPress security. When we say you're hacked, you're hacked.
- 1.3Zero load, 2M+ files a dayThe deep scan runs on MalCare's servers. Your site never feels it.
02Instant Malware Removal
Hacked at 9:02. Clean by 9:07. Other plugins find malware and hand you a support ticket — a leading competitor charges $490 per cleanup, every time. MalCare removes it in one click, and re-cleans free if it ever comes back.
- 2.1Surgical auto-cleanPayloads, backdoors, rogue admins, re-infecting crons — removed from everywhere malware lives. Your content stays exactly as it was.
- 2.2No FTP, no ticketsOne click from the dashboard. The site stays online the whole time.
- 2.3Unlimited re-cleanupsIncluded at a flat price, on every paid plan. The meter never runs.
03Realtime Firewall
Every hack starts as a request. MalCare's high-performance firewall is built into your site — so there's no path around it — and powered by intelligence from 400,000+ sites, it blocks attacks generic WAFs let through.
- 3.1WordPress-specialized rulesSQLi, XSS, RCE, traversal, object injection — the OWASP Top 10, tuned for WordPress.
- 3.2Network-powered18B+ requests analyzed every month. An attack seen anywhere becomes a block everywhere.
- 3.3Heavy lifting off-serverRule-building and threat correlation run on MalCare's servers, not yours.
04Bot Protection
Most of your traffic was never human. One site can't spot a bot — 400,000 can. MalCare convicts bad bots behaviorally across the whole network, so rotating IPs don't help — while Google, APIs and real visitors always pass.
- 4.1Behavioral convictionBad bots, scrapers, XML-RPC bursts, comment spam — judged by how they act, not what they claim to be.
- 4.2Good bots always passBlocking Googlebot costs more than the bots do. MalCare never does.
- 4.3350,000+ bots blocked / moBots don't just attack you — they bill you. Turned away, your server gets lighter.
05Geoblocking
Block traffic from countries you don't serve. Lots of login attempts and no customers isn't an audience — it's a botnet. Close the doors you never use, guard the ones you do.
- 5.1A few clicks per countrySwitch off any region from the dashboard. Reversible in one click.
- 5.2Dropped before your serverBlocked requests get a 403 at the firewall — they never burn your resources.
- 5.3Inside the firewallNot a standalone plugin — so drifting IP ranges and VPN border-hopping are covered too.
06Login Protection & 2FA
Your login is under attack. It comes protected — five layers, on automatically: the 400,000-site bot network, login limits, captcha recovery, IP allowlisting, and built-in two-factor authentication. Strict for bots. Painless for humans.
- 6.1Covers wp-login and XML-RPCBoth doors brute-force bots hammer — limited, challenged, and convicted.
- 6.2Humans unblock themselvesLocked out? Solve a reCAPTCHA and you're in — no timer, no email to your host.
- 6.32FA from one dashboardAny TOTP app or email OTP, enforced per-role across every site — and white-labeled to your brand.
07Vulnerability Scanner & Shield
Every vulnerability, tracked. Your alert, on day zero. Disclosures from 10+ sources are reconciled and re-scored daily — 39,000+ flaws over 5+ years — and each alert ships with a one-click Shield patch or a Safe Update. A disclosure isn't news. It's a countdown.
- 7.1Covered before the fix exists46% of flaws have no patch on disclosure day; 33% never get one. The Shield covers them anyway.
- 7.27,000+ shield patches shippedEach one built from the vulnerable code and hardened with ~500 pentests.
- 7.3Signal, not noiseAlerts are personalized to your stack — the three a year that matter, not three thousand headlines.
Others patch the example. We patch the vulnerability.
Most firewalls build patches from public alerts — they block the obvious attacks. Vulnerability Shield builds every patch from the actual vulnerable code, so it blocks the widest range of attacks, including the ones others miss. Seven stages, three tests no patch can skip, ~500 pentests per patch.
08Atomic Security
Protection for vulnerabilities no one has discovered yet. Every vulnerability was undiscovered first — so MalCare reads your site's architecture and generates site-specific rules that guard what every exploit must eventually do.
- 8.1Attacks vary. Targets don't.Creating an admin, escalating a role, writing an executable file, altering critical options — the short list every exploit needs, hardened shut.
- 8.2Rules refresh dailyBuilt from your plugins, themes, tables, users and settings — automatically, no configuration.
- 8.3Verify it yourselfWP-Radar, our 100% open-source testing tool, gives a deterministic answer to "is my site secure?" — on any security setup.
09Activity Log & Forensics
Nothing changes on your site without a witness. Hacks don't look like hacks — they look like changes: the plugin you didn't install, the post you didn't edit. Every change is recorded with who, when, and where-from.
- 9.1Every event capturedContent, people, code, commerce — eight categories, timestamped with the IP.
- 9.2Stored off-serverMillions of events in your MalCare account — none of them bloating your database.
- 9.3Pinpoint the breachA scanner reads your code. The log watches your changes — and shows the exact moment an attack began.
I was on the beach with my family, when MalCare notified me of a plugin vulnerability across 50 of my sites. With just one click on my smartphone, all sites were fixed within minutes! Their powerful features have given me real peace of mind.
Paul LaceyWordPress Expert, Designer, Podcaster & Guinness World Record HolderI had been running iThemes, WordFence & Sucuri, but they kept getting hacked. Then I installed MalCare, which quickly found the malware and cleaned up the entire site.
Adam SilverConciergeWP · FounderAfter cleanup, you're not left guessing.
The worst part of a hack isn't the malware — it's not knowing what happened. Most plugins clean and walk away. MalCare stays: the hole gets closed, not just the symptom.
- Scan, safeguard, remove, verifyEvery cleanup follows the four-step procedure — a safeguard copy first, then surgical removal, then a re-scan to confirm clean.
- Google blacklist recoveryThe "Deceptive Site Ahead" warning handled — MalCare helps you get delisted, in days not weeks.
- Host suspension recoveryCleanup and the reinstatement request, guided step by step until you're back online.
- Humans, when you want themPersonalized help from security experts — for the cases that need eyes, or just reassurance at 2 a.m.
Hacked right now? Here's the way back.
Three steps, no security expertise, no waiting for a quote. 1,500+ sites came back this way last month.

I've tried other plugins, but every time I got hacked, I spent hours trying to fix things. MalCare's one-click cleanup was SO easy! It saves me hours whenever a site gets hacked.
I came looking to fix a redirect hack & the cleanup got rid of it in minutes…then I started tinkering with the dashboard. Never had to worry about hacks again.
MalCare sends few security notifications, so one day out of curiosity I checked their firewall section. I was pleasantly surprised that hundreds of attacks were being quietly thwarted! I really like this "strong & silent" protection.
I never thought it could happen to me, but my website was hacked and started redirecting visitors. This WordPress plugin saved the day and helped me restore my website's reputation.
Best login protection ever! We handle hundreds of sites, and I'd heard bad stories about brute force attacks & password hacking… we never had to worry about this because of MalCare. I'm sure this saved us from many sleepless nights!
Always one step ahead! Before any clients or customers have a weird experience, I get a vulnerability notification which is easily fixed with one click. Really impressed with their scanner precision!
I used Wordfence before, but the cleanups were too expensive and some times we got re-hacked as well, so we needed a change. With MalCare, we spend 1/4th the time we used to on security & all our sites are safe.
MalCare is a lifesaver. It alerted me to a redirect hack on my website and guided me through the process of cleaning it up. I'm so grateful for the peace of mind it provides.
