NinjaFirewall (WP Edition)

• Pre-WordPress Filtering

  Hooks into PHP before WordPress core loads, filtering malicious requests before they reach any WordPress code.

• File Integrity Monitoring

  Detect unauthorized file changes with scheduled or real-time monitoring of WordPress core, plugins, and themes.

• Brute Force Protection

  Rate-limit and block brute force attacks against wp-login.php and xmlrpc.php with configurable thresholds.

• Real-Time Detection

  Immediate alerts for suspicious activity including file modifications, PHP shell uploads, and admin account changes.

• Event Notifications

  Email alerts for security events including plugin/theme installations, user account changes, and PHP errors.

• Live Log

  Real-time log viewer showing all HTTP/HTTPS requests processed by the firewall with detailed request data.

Nivoli Edge

• Full-Page Edge Caching

  Caches whole pages on the Cloudflare node nearest each visitor, tagged with Surrogate-Keys so one post save purges only the affected pages via stale-while-revalidate.

• Asset URL Versioning

  Gives stylesheets, scripts and fonts addresses that change on purge, so browsers pick up updated files immediately instead of serving stale ones for up to a week.

• Edge Image Optimization

  Rewrites images at the WordPress filter boundary and transforms them on the fly via Cloudflare Image Resizing: right-sized per device, WebP or AVIF per browser.

• Origin Shield

  When the origin errors or stops responding, serves the last good cached copy for up to 7 days, with email alerts when the shield engages and when the server recovers.

• Pre-PHP Security Shields

  Seven shields enforced at the edge before WordPress boots: stray-.php 404s, wp-admin IP lock, login rate limiting, AI-crawler blocking, login country lock, XML-RPC 410, security headers pack.

• Cookieless Audience Analytics

  Measures pageviews, countries, referrers and devices at the edge, no JavaScript snippet, no cookies and no consent banner; bots counted separately.

• Edge URL Rules

  Answers dead routes with cached 410s and maps redirects from the edge with per-rule fired counts; one-click block from the error log.

• Surgical Purge

  Dispatches purge requests non-blocking by Surrogate-Key tags on save, delete and comment events; purge triggers can be locked to your own IPs.

• Coverage Audit & Repair

  Weekly re-run measures the optimized share and emails on regression; the runtime misses log groups uncovered images into one-click rules; fake-image scan repairs HTML-disguised-as-JPG files.

• Broken & Heavy Image Tools

  404 inbox from real edge failures, where-used lookups with edit links, a heaviest-images list with one-click Tinify shrink, and a scan for images that never load.
