Right now, bots are hammering your login, flooding XML-RPC, scraping your content, and feeding it to AI crawlers — and your host bills you for every request. MalCare identifies them across a network of 400,000+ sites and turns them away at the door — while Google, your APIs, and your real visitors pass untouched.
Trusted by 400,000+ websites across 120 countries
Analytics filters bots out — your CPU doesn't. The slow pages, the creeping hosting bill, the 4 a.m. lockout emails, the spam queue: one cause. On many sites, most requests never came from a human.
Read: proportions are illustrative — but on many WordPress sites, the human segment really is the minority. Every other segment burns CPU, bandwidth, and money.
Your customers — the thin part of the bar.
THE MINORITYLogin floods, XML-RPC, scrapers, AI crawlers, spam, probes — you pay to host all of it.
THE WHOLE BARSix kinds of bot, six different bills. FIG. 2 — what each one does to you.
Thousands of password guesses against wp-login. Costs you: your account — or just your CPU.
One request, many attempts — brute force, amplified through a single endpoint. Costs you: load, then your password.
Your content, republished elsewhere — and used to outrank you. Costs you: SEO you wrote yourself.
Your pages, ingested as training data — without asking. Your content, your call.
A queue full of sludge, forever. Costs you: hours of moderation — and your comment section.
Scanning every door for a known vulnerability. Costs you: nothing — until it finds one.
Every bot request burns CPU and bandwidth your host charges you for, and slows the visitors who actually matter. Blocking the crowd is why MalCare is the only security plugin which makes your site faster.
Read: nothing about your site changed — the crowd just stopped getting in. Sites moving to MalCare have cut server load by up to 70%.
Load sits high — the crowd you're hosting.
THE TAXUp to 70% lighter — the site your customers feel.
−70% · UP TOHosts charge for resources, not customers. Bot traffic is money you'll never see again.
REDUCEDEvery real visitor waits in line behind the crowd — until the crowd is gone.
FASTERHours of reading logs and blacklisting IPs — retired entirely.
GONEA bot's first request to your site looks innocent. Its ten-thousandth request across the network doesn't. Identification is behavioral and network-wide — which is why rotating IPs doesn't save them, and why manual blacklists never worked.
Read: your site benefits from every attack that ever hit anyone else's. That's the asymmetry bots can't beat — and one IP change doesn't reset a behavioral conviction.
Its behavior gives it away — cadence, endpoints, fingerprints.
CONVICTEDEvery site in the 400,000+ network learns it at once.
NETWORK-WIDEAlready immune — blocked before its first request lands.
PRE-BLOCKEDBots betray themselves by how they move, not just where they're from: request cadence no human produces, endpoint patterns (wp-login and xmlrpc.php, hundreds of times, nothing else), header and client fingerprints that don't match real browsers, and the same actor appearing across many unrelated sites at once. IP addresses are the cheapest thing for a bot to change — behavior is the most expensive. That's why the network convicts on behavior and treats the IP as evidence, not identity.
The hard part of bot protection isn't blocking — it's not blocking. Search crawlers, social previews, feed readers, your APIs and webhooks, uptime monitors: all verified and allowed automatically. Real visitors browse normally.
Read: Google, Facebook, Feedly and other good bots are recognized and let through automatically — your SEO, integrations, and monitoring never feel a thing.
Googlebot, social previews, feed readers, APIs, webhooks, uptime monitors — and every real visitor.
PASSCrackers, scrapers, spammers, probes — stopped at the wall.
403Other plugins hand you the logs and wish you luck. MalCare's network already convicted the bot before it reached you.
Read the logs → spot the IP → blacklist it → the bot rotates IPs → repeat, forever.
WHACK-A-MOLENothing. Behavioral convictions don't reset when the IP changes.

Bot protection manages the crowd; the rest of the suite handles what any individual request is trying to do.
Manages non-human volume — the crowd never reaches your server.

THE RECORDOne suite, one dashboard — and a site that gets lighter the day you turn it on.
Real customers — quotes from our reviews and case studies.
Best login protection ever! We handle hundreds of sites, and I'd heard bad stories about brute force attacks & password hacking… but thankfully we never had to worry about this because of MalCare. I'm sure this saved us from many sleepless nights!
I was on the beach with my family when MalCare notified me of a plugin vulnerability across 50 of my sites. With one click on my smartphone, all sites were fixed within minutes.
Paul LaceyWordPress ExpertI 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 · FounderNo — not blocking good bots is the entire design goal. Google, Bing, social preview bots, and feed readers are verified and allowed automatically. Blocking Googlebot would cost you more than the bad bots do, and we treat it that way.
No. Legitimate automated traffic — payment webhooks, integrations, monitors — is recognized and allowed. If you run something unusual, you can allow it explicitly too.
Real visitors browse normally. Identification happens from behavior on our side of the door — not by making your customers prove they're human.
The firewall inspects what an individual request is trying to do (attack payloads). Bot protection manages who's allowed to make requests at all (non-human volume). You want both — they solve different problems.
Bots burn CPU and bandwidth your host charges for; removing them removes that load — sites moving to MalCare have cut server load by up to 70%. Less load means faster pages and, on metered hosting, a smaller bill.
They're identified like any other bot — by behavior at network scale. Whether your content feeds someone's training run is your call, not a default.
Yes — geo-blocking and manual IP rules are available from your dashboard. Most customers never need them.
No. No lists, no log reviews, no tuning. The network does the identifying; your site just gets lighter.
Bad bots blocked by a 400,000-site network. Good bots and real visitors, untouched. Your site gets lighter tonight.
