<p><strong>BotBlocker Security blocks 99% of automated attacks before WordPress even loads.</strong> No bloat, no slowdowns, no monthly fees for core protection.</p>
<p>If your site is hit by login brute force, spam comments, fake Googlebots, content scrapers, or XML-RPC floods, you are not alone: bots generate over 47% of all web traffic. Most security plugins react after WordPress boots, wasting CPU and memory on every bad request. <strong>BotBlocker stops them at the door.</strong></p>
<h4>Why site owners switch to BotBlocker</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Faster than the competition.</strong> Runs on early init through three interception layers, before themes and plugins load. Server load drops during attacks instead of spiking.</li>
<li><strong>Smarter CAPTCHA.</strong> 9 modes including Silent Auto-Verify – zero clicks for humans, hard wall for bots. Proprietary CAPTCHAs defeat AI-based solvers that crack reCAPTCHA for $2-3 per 1 000.</li>
<li><strong>Honest free version.</strong> Full firewall, all 9 CAPTCHA modes, full 2FA, full logging, full Multisite support. No nag screens, no crippled features.</li>
<li><strong>Privacy-first.</strong> No visitor data leaves your server. GDPR and CCPA compliant out of the box.</li>
<li><strong>Works with everything.</strong> Cloudflare, WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, WooCommerce, Elementor, multisite, IPv6, PHP 7.4 to 8.5.</li>
</ul>
<h4>🛡️ Core Firewall (Free)</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Three-Layer Architecture</strong> – intercepts traffic at wp-config.php (before WordPress), MU-plugin phase, and main shield. The first layer blocks known threats without loading WordPress at all, saving 30-100ms and 5-20MB RAM per blocked request.</li>
<li><strong>Web Application Firewall (WAF)</strong> with real-time rule updates via the BotBlocker Threat Defense Feed</li>
<li><strong>2 899 User-Agent signatures</strong> – largest blacklist among WordPress plugins – covering Scrapy, Selenium, Puppeteer, PhantomJS, curl, wget, Python, Java, Perl, and SQL injection tools</li>
<li><strong>Brute force protection</strong> with progressive lockouts – 5 attempts per 15 minutes, escalating bans for repeat offenders</li>
<li><strong>Anti-spam</strong> for comments, registration, contact forms – spammers blocked before they connect</li>
<li><strong>XML-RPC and REST API</strong> locked down by default with allowlist for trusted services</li>
<li><strong>Fake crawler detection</strong> via FCrDNS (dual-direction DNS verification), ASN tokens, and published IP ranges – 95% effective, impossible to spoof without controlling the provider’s DNS zone</li>
<li><strong>LLM / AI crawler management</strong> – allow or block GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Bytespider via CIDR-verified IP ranges. Trusted crawlers verified, impersonators blocked.</li>
<li><strong>Country, ASN, IP range, User-Agent, Referer</strong> blocking rules with instant enforcement</li>
<li><strong>Cloudflare-aware</strong> real-IP resolution and origin bypass protection</li>
<li><strong>Full IPv6 support</strong> – separate tables and logic for IPv4 and IPv6, every feature works with both</li>
<li><strong>Live traffic monitor</strong> with attack map, country, ASN, device, browser, and exact block reason for every request</li>
<li><strong>Built-in caching</strong> via Redis and Memcached – free, auto-disable on connection failure</li>
</ul>
<h4>🔒 Login Security & 2FA (Free)</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Two-Factor Authentication</strong> compatible with Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, Bitwarden – TOTP standard with 10 backup codes</li>
<li><strong>9 CAPTCHA modes</strong>: Silent Auto-Verify, Single Button, Color CAPTCHA, Images CAPTCHA, Shapes CAPTCHA (60fps Canvas), Digits CAPTCHA, Hold Button CAPTCHA, plus Google reCAPTCHA v2 and v3</li>
<li><strong>Hybrid Mode</strong> – combine any internal CAPTCHA with reCAPTCHA v3 for two-layer invisible defense</li>
<li><strong>Hide login URL</strong> <em>(PRO)</em></li>
<li><strong>Configurable lockout durations</strong> with escalation for repeat offenders – failed CAPTCHA triggers short ban, repeated failure triggers 24-hour ban</li>
</ul>
<h4>💳 Payment Gateway Bypass (Free)</h4>
<p>Auto-detects 25+ e-commerce platforms (WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, SureCart, MemberPress, Paid Memberships Pro, Give, Dokan, CartFlows, FunnelKit, and more) and 150+ payment providers (Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, Adyen, Braintree, Square, Razorpay, Klarna, Paddle, Authorize.Net, 2Checkout, YooKassa, LiqPay, and more). <strong>Webhooks, IPN callbacks, and payment notifications never get blocked.</strong> Four detection layers ensure zero false positives on payment traffic.</p>
<h4>📊 Visibility & Control (Free)</h4>
<ul>
<li>Visual dashboard with attack map, top offenders, blocked-vs-allowed ratio, world traffic map</li>
<li>Detailed event log with IP, country, ASN, User-Agent, and exact block reason – 54 unique event codes</li>
