sitealerts

Proactive Site Advisor adds a “Site Advisor” dashboard to your WordPress admin. A daily scan runs after each full day and compares that day’s data with the previous 7 days.
When a significant deviation is detected, you see an alert with: 
– What changed (e.g., “Traffic dropped by 41%”) 
– What this means for your site 
– What you should check next 
– Top 404 URLs (for 404 alerts)
Dashboard includes: critical issues indicator, weekly digest cards, latest alerts list, and 7‑day history table with averages.
The plugin does NOT fix anything. It only alerts and recommends.
All monitoring runs locally. No external APIs, no data sharing.

Easy IP Blocker is a lightweight security plugin that lets you block unwanted IP addresses directly from your WordPress dashboard. Protect your site from malicious traffic, brute-force login attempts, and spam by maintaining a blocklist with just a few clicks.
Your entire blocklist is stored as a single plain-text option — one entry per line. There is no database table, no import/export workflow, and no complicated UI. Just copy, paste, and save. Back up your list by copying the textarea contents to a text file, or restore it by pasting one back in. It is that simple.
Need to block IPs faster? Use the built-in WP-CLI commands to add, remove, or list entries without ever opening the dashboard.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Block individual IPs, CIDR ranges, or wildcard patterns</li>
<li>CDN/proxy-aware IP detection — supports Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, AWS CloudFront, Sucuri, and custom headers</li>
<li>Auto-detects your CDN/proxy and recommends the correct setting</li>
<li>Plain-text flat list — copy and paste to back up, migrate, or restore</li>
<li>WP-CLI support (<code>wp eib add/remove/list/clear</code>) for scripting and automation</li>
<li>Lightweight and fast — no external dependencies, API calls, or extra database tables</li>
<li>Compatible with PHP 7.4 through 8.4</li>
<li>Helps prevent brute-force attacks, spam, and unauthorized access</li>
<li>Comment support — use # to annotate and organize your blocklist</li>
<li>Modern, clean admin interface with tabbed layout</li>
</ul>
Supported CDN / proxy providers:
<ul>
<li>Cloudflare — reads <code>CF-Connecting-IP</code></li>
<li>Fastly — reads <code>Fastly-Client-IP</code></li>
<li>Akamai — reads <code>True-Client-IP</code></li>
<li>AWS CloudFront — reads <code>CloudFront-Viewer-Address</code></li>
<li>Sucuri — reads <code>X-Sucuri-ClientIP</code></li>
<li>Generic proxy — reads <code>X-Forwarded-For</code></li>
<li>Custom header — specify any header name your proxy sets</li>
<li>Direct — uses <code>REMOTE_ADDR</code> when no proxy is in use</li>
</ul>
The plugin auto-detects which CDN or proxy is in front of your site and recommends the correct setting. You can also choose manually from the Settings tab.
Supported blocking formats:
<ul>
<li>Exact IP — <code>192.168.1.1</code></li>
<li>CIDR range — <code>192.168.1.0/24</code> (blocks 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.255)</li>
<li>Wildcard — <code>10.0.0.*</code> or <code>172.16.*.*</code> (matches any value in place of *)</li>
<li>Comments — lines starting with <code>#</code> are ignored, useful for notes</li>
</ul>
WP-CLI commands:
<ul>
<li><code>wp eib add <ip>...</code> — Append one or more entries to the blocklist</li>
<li><code>wp eib remove <ip>...</code> — Remove entries from the blocklist</li>
<li><code>wp eib delete <ip>...</code> — Alias for remove</li>
<li><code>wp eib list</code> — Show all blocked IPs and rules</li>
<li><code>wp eib clear</code> — Clear the entire blocklist</li>
</ul>
All commands that accept IPs support multiple entries in a single call. For example:
<pre><code>wp eib add 192.168.1.1 10.0.0.0/24 172.16.0.*
wp eib remove 192.168.1.1 10.0.0.0/24
</code></pre>
