Wordfence is one of the strongest security suites for WordPress, with a firewall (WAF), malware scanner and login protection. We set Wordfence up cleanly, enable extended firewall mode, remove false lockouts and clean hacked sites. Remote, GDPR-compliant, from €79/h.
What's included
- Extended firewall (WAF) correctly enabled
- Malware scan findings checked & cleaned manually
- False positives solved via whitelist, not ignored
- 2FA login & brute-force protection for admins
- Backdoors removed, clean core files restored
In practice, Wordfence often causes trouble: the firewall stays stuck in "learning mode" and never runs in protected mode, you or your customers get locked out by mistake, or the constant scan drags the server down. After a hack the scanner suddenly reports hundreds of infected files – and you can't tell what's real and what's a false positive. The rate-limiting and brute-force settings are often too loose or too strict out of the box, too.
We bring Wordfence into a clean state: Extended Protection Mode correctly set up via .htaccess or PHP prepend, sensible firewall rules, tuned rate limiting and two-factor login for all admins. We review every scan result by hand, remove real malware and backdoors, clean the database and restore clean core, theme and plugin files. We resolve false positives via whitelist instead of just ignoring findings. All at €79/h incl. VAT, free quote up front, no subscription.

Frequently asked questions
Wordfence locked me out of my own wp-admin – what now?
No problem. We lift the block via the server (FTP/SSH), review the firewall rules and configure them so you and legitimate users never get blocked by mistake again. Usually done in under an hour, €79/h incl. VAT.
The Wordfence scan reports infected files – is my site hacked?
Not necessarily – many are false positives. We check every finding individually, separate real malware from harmless hits and only clean what's truly malicious. If it's a real hack we do a full cleanup including backdoor hunting.
Is the free Wordfence version enough or do I need Premium?
For many sites the free version is enough if it's configured properly. Premium adds real-time firewall rules and faster malware signatures. We advise you honestly on what makes sense for your site – with no upselling.
Wordfence slows my site down – can that be fixed?
Yes. Often the scan runs too frequently or the firewall runs in inefficient PHP mode. We tune scan schedules, resource usage and the extended mode so protection stays but performance doesn't suffer. Billed by effort, €79/h incl. VAT.
