AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Performance & 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. 2 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

How Performance & Security works
Show full descriptionShow less
A self-hosted site manager’s toolkit: the security hardening, performance tuning, admin cleanup, content controls and email handling you’d otherwise install half a dozen micro-plugins for — as independent modules on a single settings page (Settings → Site Toolkit). Every module is off by default and registers no hooks while disabled, so the plugin changes nothing until you opt in.
🔐 Security — disable XML-RPC, hide the WordPress version, disable user enumeration (author scans, sitemaps, oEmbed, author archives), block the REST users endpoint, disable the file editors, block readme/license files, security headers (with optional HSTS), disable application passwords, session management, a failed login log (with optional file logging for fail2ban), and an admin audit log.
🔓 Login Page — change the login URL, login rate limiting, hide detailed login errors, username-only sign-in, disable the language switcher, record each user’s last login, and login screen branding (use your site identity automatically or a custom logo from the media library).
🚀 Performance — control autosave and post revisions, remove asset version query strings, throttle the Heartbeat API, remove wp_head bloat and generator tags, dequeue unused default assets (emoji, jQuery Migrate, Block Library CSS), disable self-pings, scheduled database maintenance, DNS prefetch/preconnect hints, and manage generated image sizes.
🛠️ Admin / UX — hide the front-end toolbar, change the WordPress greeting, replace the account menu with a logout button, dashboard widget manager, custom admin footer, maintenance mode, media library user isolation, environment indicator, suppress update notices on non-production, control the admin email verification screen, trim the WordPress toolbar menu, and an “All Settings” menu item.
📝 Content & Editorial — customize excerpts, disable the block editor per post type, disable trackbacks, targeted comment controls (media comments, plain-text links, minimum length), disable comments entirely, disable oEmbed, and restore the Links Manager.
📧 Email & Notifications — disable selected notification emails, and redirect or block all outgoing email on non-production environments.
