AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
SiteGuard WP Plugin is a well-rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Security category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 15 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.

How SiteGuard WP Plugin works
Show full descriptionShow less
SiteGuard WP Plugin helps protect WordPress sites by strengthening login and admin-area security. It helps reduce brute-force login attacks, password list attacks, comment spam, and unauthorized access to /wp-admin/.
Main Features
Admin Page IP Filter: Restricts wp-admin access to IP addresses that have successfully logged in.
Rename Login: Changes the URL of the login page from wp-login.php to a custom path.
CAPTCHA: Adds CAPTCHA to login, comment, password reset, and user registration forms.
Login Lock: Temporarily locks out IP addresses after repeated failed login attempts.
Login Alert: Sends email notifications when users log in.
Fail Once: Intentionally rejects the first valid login attempt and requires the user to try again shortly after.
Protect XML-RPC: Disables pingbacks or all XML-RPC access to help prevent abuse.
Block Author Query: Helps prevent username leakage through /?author=<number> requests.
Update Notifications: Sends email notifications when updates are available for WordPress core, plugins, or themes.
WAF Tuning Support: Creates exclusion rules to help prevent false positives when SiteGuard Server Edition WAF is installed.
Requirements and Compatibility
WordPress multisite is not supported.
Apache 1.3, Apache 2.x, and Nginx are supported.
Rename Login cannot be combined with a login page URL change feature in another plugin. Enable it in only one plugin; using both can leave two login URLs available, or stop the login page from loading.
CAPTCHA requires the PHP extensions mbstring and gd.
WAF Tuning Support requires SiteGuard Server Edition on Apache.
Documentation Documentation, FAQs, and more details are available in English and Japanese.
