Dessky Security vs NETSENSAI Shield

Dessky Security is the ultralight plugin for basic Security Hardening. It is specially designed not to drain any resources from your website. Once you enable all major security measures your input is no longer required. Features include upload directory restriction, disabling of plugin/theme editor, admin username check and more.

The popup includes a purchase link to upgrade to the PRO version if you need this feature without losing functionality. Scoped styling – the custom colour for the “Save changes” button is now limited to the Secure Options page, so other admin pages keep the default WordPress look.
