AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
HT Security is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 1 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by WPFastSec — established developer track record

How HT Security works

HT Security is a complete security suite for WordPress, offering multiple layers of protection for your website.
Important – External Service:
This plugin queries the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) API to check for known CVE vulnerabilities. Requests are made to:
* API URL: https://services.nvd.nist.gov/rest/json/cves/2.0
* Terms of Use: https://nvd.nist.gov/general/legal-disclaimer
* Privacy Policy: https://www.nist.gov/privacy-policy
* Frequency: Automatic check every 12 hours or manual on-demand
* Data sent: Name and version of WordPress/installed plugins (no personal data is sent)
The NVD API query is essential for the plugin’s CVE vulnerability detection functionality.
