Complete WordPress security. Zero weight on your site.

Seven layers in one plugin — automatic malware scans, one-click removal, and a real-time firewall run by a 400,000-site network. It configures itself, and the heavy lifting runs on our servers, so your site never slows down.

Cleanup starts from your dashboard in minutes. The deep scan finds all of it; one click removes it without breaking your site — 1,500+ sites cleaned last month. Personalized expert help is included.

01The stakes

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.

Blacklisted by Google

The red warning screen — and the customers who never come back.

Suspended by your host

A hacked site endangers its neighbors — so hosts pull the plug.

Site overload

Attacks burn your server resources; real visitors get the slow site.

Data breach

Customer data leaks; customer devices get compromised next.

02The stack

Seven layers. One plugin. Every door covered.

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.

Read: attacks die on the outer band; anything unknown is caught by the middle one; and if the worst ever happens, the inner band puts the site back. Visitors never feel any of it.

One click from a beach. Fifty sites fixed.

I 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.

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. I highly recommend it!

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.
