WordPress management

Everything WordPress needs, built in

No plugins to install, no manual configuration. WordPress management is part of the platform.

One-click deployment

Deploy WordPress on any subdomain in ~30 seconds. Database, SSL, caching, and admin account are created automatically.

SSO admin login

Log into WordPress admin with one click from the control panel. No passwords to remember, no wp-login.php exposed to attackers.

Auto-updates with smart delays

Configure automatic updates for core, plugins, and themes independently. Set delays so updates are tested in the wild before they hit your site.

Plugin & theme management

View, activate, and deactivate plugins across all your WordPress sites. Broken plugin detection runs every 30 minutes.

Security hardening

XML-RPC blocking, REST API protection, SSO-only login, and PHP upload blocking. Server-level enforcement, not a plugin.

Snapshots & restore

Manual snapshots anytime. Automatic snapshots before every core update. One-click restore when things go wrong.

Auto-updates

Updates that wait until they're safe

Configure delays for every update type. Your site only updates after the community has tested the release.

Core updates

Security patches and major version upgrades can apply immediately or with up to 7-day delay, giving the community time to catch issues first.

Plugin & theme updates

Configure delays independently for plugins and themes. Broken plugin detection runs every 30 minutes, so you'll know before your visitors do.

Update windows

Restrict when updates apply. Set a maintenance window so updates never run during peak traffic hours. Supports overnight windows that cross midnight.

WordPress security

Server-level hardening, not a plugin

Security enforced at the web server level. No WordPress plugin can be disabled or bypassed by attackers.

SSO-only login

Block wp-login.php entirely. Login only through the control panel with short-lived one-time tokens.

XML-RPC blocking

Disable xmlrpc.php to prevent brute force attacks and DDoS amplification through pingbacks.

REST API protection

Block user enumeration at /wp-json/wp/v2/users. Prevents attackers from discovering admin usernames.

PHP upload blocking

Block PHP execution in wp-content/uploads. Even if malware is uploaded, it can't execute.

WordPress-specific bot protection

wp-login brute force detection, xmlrpc.php abuse blocking, and plugin scanning detection, all running automatically. Logged-in admins are always exempt.

CVE vulnerability scanning

Your installed plugins, themes, and WordPress core are checked daily against the Wordfence Intelligence vulnerability database. Known CVEs are flagged with severity ratings so you can update or dismiss them before they become a problem.

Safety net

Snapshots before every update

Never worry about updates breaking your site. Snapshots let you roll back in seconds.
