How BotBlocker Security – Complete security platform works
Show full descriptionShow less
BotBlocker Security is a complete security platform that blocks 99% of attacks before WordPress loads. Firewall, bot detection, rate limiting, CAPTCHA, 2FA, analytics, notifications, tools – one plugin replaces your entire security stack: no need for separate firewall, CAPTCHA, 2FA, and anti-spam plugins. No bloat, no monthly fees for core protection.
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. BotBlocker stops them at the door – then gives you the analytics, alerts, and tools to understand exactly what it blocked and why.
Because BotBlocker intercepts traffic before themes and plugins run, it also shields vulnerabilities in your entire plugin and theme stack. Zero-days in contact form plugins, unpatched slider code, outdated e-commerce extensions – attackers never reach the vulnerable code. BotBlocker is your first and last line of defense, every day.
Why site owners switch to BotBlocker
Faster than the competition. Runs on early init through three interception layers, before themes and plugins load. Server load drops during attacks instead of spiking. Zero database queries for returning visitors – 11 pre-generated PHP files with SHA-256 integrity, loaded via native include.
One plugin, full security stack. Firewall, CAPTCHA, 2FA, anti-spam, rate limiting, bot detection – BotBlocker covers virtually every security need a WordPress site has. Most users uninstall 2-3 separate plugins after switching. PRO adds malware scanning, security headers, speed optimization, and behavioral analysis – still one plugin.
Smarter bot detection. 2,899 User-Agent signatures – largest blacklist among WordPress plugins – plus 2,800+ additional bot signatures. 13 header checks including AdBlock detection, incognito mode detection, Canvas/WebGL fingerprinting, and device API verification. Anti-detect scoring with 9 weighted signals catches headless Chrome, Puppeteer, Selenium, and PhantomJS even when they spoof user-agent strings.
Smarter CAPTCHA. 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.
Honest free version. Full firewall, all 9 CAPTCHA modes, full 2FA, full logging, full Multisite, Redis/Memcached, shortcodes, command palette, Telegram alerts, visual analytics, 15 diagnostic tools. No nag screens, no crippled features.
Privacy-first. No visitor data leaves your server. GDPR and CCPA compliant out of the box.
Works with everything. Cloudflare, WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, WooCommerce, Elementor, multisite, IPv6, PHP 7.4 to 8.5.
🛡️ Core Firewall (Free)
Three-Layer Architecture – intercepts traffic at wp-config.php (before WordPress), MU-plugin phase, and main shield. Known threats are blocked before WordPress, plugins, or themes load – saving 30-100ms and 5-20MB RAM per blocked request. Zero-day attacks on other plugins never reach the vulnerable code.
Web Application Firewall (WAF) with real-time rule updates via the BotBlocker Threat Defense Feed
Brute force protection with progressive lockouts – 5 attempts per 15 minutes, escalating bans
Rate Limiting – sliding window velocity per IP. 30 req/min triggers CAPTCHA; 50/min blocks IP for 10 min. Subnet aggregation catches distributed attacks. Floor protection prevents false positives.
Anti-spam for comments, registration, contact forms
XML-RPC and REST API locked down by default with allowlist for trusted services
HTTP method-level hardening – CONNECT and TRACE blocked (XST attack prevention). OPTIONS handled for CORS preflight.
Fake crawler detection via FCrDNS (dual-direction DNS verification), ASN tokens, and published IP ranges – 95% effective, impossible to spoof without controlling the provider’s DNS zone.
LLM / AI crawler management – allow or block GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Bytespider via CIDR-verified IP ranges (1,435 synced from cloud).
Country, ASN, IP range, User-Agent, Referer blocking rules with instant enforcement. ASN database: 3.6M verified records. Geo-blocking with visual country selector and import/export.
Cloudflare-aware real-IP resolution and origin bypass protection
TLS fingerprinting (JA3/JA4) – detects bots by TLS handshake signature, cross-validates against User-Agent. 189 signatures. Opt-in, requires server module.
17 interface languages – English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Polski, Русский, Українська, العربية, עברית, Italiano, 日本語, 한국어, Nederlands, Português, Svenska, Türkçe, 中文 + POT
Admin page header bar – “Blocked today: X · Total: Y” on every admin page
Admin bar toolbar node – protection status + Dashboard + Settings links
Configurable retention with timezone/DST awareness, Daily Summary with incremental aggregation
X-Robots-Tag control – SEO directives (noindex, nofollow, noarchive, nosnippet, noimageindex, notranslate, unavailable_after) on blocked/challenge pages – no search engine indexing of security barriers
Early Init Mode – filtering before WordPress Core loads via wp-config.php boot code. Saves 30-100ms and 5-20MB RAM per blocked request. Multisite-aware, auto-disables if Cloud API inactive. Self-healing runtime files.
Hide Login URL – custom admin URL slug. Four behaviors on default URL: 403, 404, home redirect, custom redirect. Reserved slug detection prevents page conflicts.
Security Headers – MU-plugin deployment before plugins load. HSTS, CSP with custom domain whitelist, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Permissions-Policy. Auto-detects reCAPTCHA Google + BotBlocker API domains in CSP.
Speed Up WordPress – 14 frontend and server optimizations: disable emojis, jQuery Migrate, dashicons, global styles, embeds, RSS feeds, XML-RPC, hide WP version, shortlinks, self-pingbacks.
Four plans to match your traffic: Premium ($12/month, 25k cloud checks), Pro ($50/month, 100k cloud checks), Ultimate ($100/month, 250k cloud checks + emergency 24h support). Annual billing includes 1 month free. 30-day refund policy. Licensed per domain via Freemius.
