the plugin, is to instantly check your site against
possible malware threats. The way Wordfence
does it, is that it takes the official WordPress
source-code and checks it against your own
current version on the server, including for themes
and plugins. The output is a list of potential
threats which you can then terminate, so you don’t
have to worry about custom plugin and theme
changes being classified as threats. This security
plugin will not only make your site significantly
faster, you will also be pleased to know that the
plugin is open-source and anyone can contribute
