<p>Your website deserves protection that’s simple, fast and built for WordPress. SiteLock WordPress Security focuses on the everyday controls that matter most and helps you establish a secure baseline in minutes — WordPress-specific hardening, login protection and a clear Site Health dashboard that keeps you in control without slowing your site down.<br />
It’s lightweight, action-first protection that complements your host defenses: essential safeguards run inside WordPress while deeper checks happen securely in the SiteLock cloud. Skip heavy on-server scans and alert fatigue — run on-demand checks when you need extra assurance, so you can ship updates with confidence.</p>
<h4>Security that grows with you</h4>
<p>Our goal is straightforward: maintain a strong baseline with minimal overhead while giving you clear visibility and room to grow as your needs evolve.<br />
And because security is never static, this plugin keeps pace. Next up: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to strengthen login security (coming soon).</p>

<h4>Can I Fix an Already-Infected Site with This Plugin?</h4>
<p>The plugin focuses on prevention, posture and visibility — not full malware removal. It isn’t designed to fully clean up sites that were infected before it was active.<br />
If your site is already compromised, act quickly, we recommend:</p>
<ul>
<li>Restoring from a clean backup if available</li>
<li>Remove malicious files manually or with professional help</li>
