<li>Block sensitive paths/files — Blocks access to readme.html, license.txt, .env, .git, composer.json, etc. (only what passes through WordPress).</li>
<li>Security headers — X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, X-Frame-Options, HSTS (HTTPS only) and removal of technology-revealing headers.</li>
<li>Login protection — Rate limiting by IP and by user+IP with configurable temporary lockout.</li>
<li>IP whitelist — Excludes trusted IPs from rate limiting to avoid accidental lockouts.</li>
<li>Email notification — Receive an email when an IP is locked out due to too many failed login attempts.</li>
<li>Activity log — Security event logging in a dedicated database table with configurable retention and automatic cleanup via cron.</li>
<li>Ready-to-use server rules — Code for Apache (.htaccess) and Nginx to block static files that WordPress cannot reach.</li>
</ul>
Smart IP detection:
