WordPress Security

The WordPress content management system is very popular, as are various kinds of attacks against webs that run it. Even if these attacks fail to breach the web or admin interface, they significatnly increase server load and slow your website down. That’s why WEDOS Protection aims to stop this unwanted traffic before it even reaches the web server.

WEDOS Global Protection uses the following methods to protect WordPress websites:

• Blocco delle richieste che accedono ai seguenti file:
  • xmlrpc.php, a meno che la richiesta non provenga da WordPress
  • wp-config.php
  • .htaccess
  • wpad.dat
  • PHP in the wp-content/uploads folder
  • PHP in the wp-includes folder
  • wp-admin/admin-ajax.php, unless the request comes from WordPress or Google
• Using captcha:
  • for wp-login.php (admin, wp-admin)
  • for requests from IPs with bad reputation scores (according to UDGER ⧉)

The system also monitors traffic from various IP addresses. If an address makes too many requests over a time period, the system temporarily denies it further access.

Anche tutti i contenuti statici (codici di risposta 200, 301, 302) restano per impostazione predefinita nella cache per 10 minuti.
