<p>Guardlo is a powerful yet lightweight security tool designed to protect your website’s basic foundation without slowing it down. It also includes a unique Trust Badge feature that allows you to display your website’s security status to your visitors, actively increasing trust and conversions.</p>
<p>The Guardlo core scanner is built to have a zero impact on server performance by verifying essential WordPress files on demand, rather than running continuous, heavy background processes that consume resources.</p>
<p><strong>The Lightweight Security Alternative</strong><br />
Guardlo acts as a fast, optimized alternative to heavy firewall plugins that drain your server. It provides essential security tools including a core file malware scanner, server environment checks, and seamless integration with a visual security badge.</p>
<h4>Standard Features (Free)</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Trust Badge:</strong> Display a security badge in your website footer to show visitors that your site is actively monitored.</li>
<li><strong>Elementor Integration:</strong> Includes a native Elementor widget to easily position the Trust Badge on your pages, with 3 design layouts available.</li>
<li><strong>Basic Core Integrity Scanner:</strong> Scan critical WordPress root PHP files (including wp-config.php, .htaccess, index.php) against a database of known malware signatures.</li>
<li><strong>Infrastructure Monitor:</strong> Verify that your server is running secure and up-to-date PHP versions, and check if your website is properly routing traffic through an encrypted SSL connection.</li>
<li><strong>Localized Security Profiles:</strong> Choose from over 30 languages for your public security profile. When international visitors click your Trust Badge, they will view your safety status translated into their native language.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Premium Features</h4>
<p>Guardlo offers a premium upgrade for administrators who require automated monitoring, WooCommerce security, and advanced login protection:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Automated Deep Malware Scans:</strong> Deep daily scanning that checks for hidden backdoors and malicious code across core files, installed themes, and plugins.</li>
<li><strong>Hide wp-admin (Invisible Admin Mode):</strong> Change your default wp-admin login URL to a secret custom link to stop automated brute-force attempts dead in their tracks.</li>
<li><strong>Email 2FA:</strong> Add two-factor authentication via email for administrator accounts.</li>
<li><strong>Advanced Shields (WAF & File Lock):</strong> A military-grade Traffic Filter that auto-bans malicious IPs and locks your core files from remote tampering.</li>
<li><strong>Real-Time Plugin Upload Shield:</strong> Scans newly uploaded plugin ZIP files to ensure they are safe before activation.</li>
<li><strong>Smart Plugin Health Monitor:</strong> Identifies major plugin updates that require attention to ensure compatibility and keep your site running smoothly.</li>
