Other Security Plugins Block Attacks After They Hit Your Server
Wordfence, Sucuri, Solid Security
Attacks reach your server. PHP processes them. Your CPU and bandwidth pay the price. Then they get blocked.
apSecurity + Cloudflare
Attacks are blocked at Cloudflare’s global edge network. They never reach your server. Zero CPU. Zero bandwidth.
Every Feature. No Upsells.
One purchase. All of this. Period.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Cloudflare to use apSecurity?
No. apSecurity works great without Cloudflare — you still get brute force protection, 2FA, reCAPTCHA, country blocking, IP management, emergency recovery, and the full security dashboard. But if you use Cloudflare (even their free plan), you unlock edge blocking — attacks get stopped before they ever reach your server.
What happens after my year of updates ends?
Your plugin keeps working. Period. You just won’t receive new feature updates or security rule updates. Renew for another year of updates whenever you want — there’s no penalty, no price increase, no pressure. This isn’t a subscription that kills your protection when you stop paying.
Why no free version?
Because crippled security is worse than no security — it gives you a false sense of protection. Every competitor holds back their best features for the paid version. We give you everything from day one. If it’s not for you, use the 14-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked.
How does apSecurity compare to Wordfence?
Wordfence is an application-level firewall — it blocks attacks after they’ve already hit your server, consuming CPU and bandwidth. It’s also known for being a resource hog on shared hosting. apSecurity syncs threats to Cloudflare’s global edge network, blocking attacks before they reach you. Different architecture, better results. And at $89 vs their $149/year recurring, it’s not even close on value.
Can I use this on multiple sites?
Yes! We offer 5-site and unlimited site licenses for both annual and lifetime plans. Each license covers all your sites under one purchase. Need to upgrade later? Contact us and we’ll credit your original purchase toward the higher tier.
What are the requirements?
WordPress 5.0 or higher and PHP 7.4 or higher. That’s it. The plugin is lightweight (under 400KB), uses minimal server resources, and creates only 4 small database tables. No frontend JavaScript loaded on your public pages.
