Security-first development — the UltraGuard way
UltraGuard exists because most WordPress security plugins either do too little for free, charge too much for the basics, or make you install five separate tools to cover one stack.
WordPress powers over 40% of the web. Most sites running it have inadequate security — not because the owners don't care, but because the available tools are either too expensive, too complex, or don't actually cover the attack surface.
UltraGuard changes that. A complete 8-layer WAF, a 10-layer malware scanner, real-time traffic monitoring, login protection, hardening, and audit logging — all in the free version.
Pro adds the capabilities that business-critical sites need: vulnerability scanning with virtual patching, database security, passkey authentication, compliance reporting, and WooCommerce protection.
The WAF, antivirus scanner, and login protection are free. Security fundamentals shouldn't require a subscription.
The firewall runs at the earliest WordPress hook. SSE instead of polling. DB cache that prevents redundant reads.
Actual modules — rules, scan results, live traffic, quarantine, audit trails. Not vague status indicators.
PSR-4, dependency injection, PHP 8.1+. Code you'd be comfortable extending in your own projects.
Download the free plugin from UltraGuard.net and be protected in under two minutes.
