Hide My WP Ghost – Security & Firewall

Hide My WP Ghost is a WordPress security plugin designed to make your site practically invisible to automated bots, malicious scanners, and brute force attacks. Developed by the Squirrly team, this plugin protects more than 100,000 websites worldwide and has blocked over 9 million brute force attempts, in addition to stopping around 140,000 attacks monthly.

The fundamental principle of Hide My WP Ghost is simple but powerful: hackers cannot attack what they cannot find. The plugin changes and hides common WordPress paths, such as wp-admin, wp-login, wp-content, as well as plugin and theme paths, removing the fingerprints that reveal the presence of WordPress to automated scanners. All of this is achieved through server rewrite rules, without physically modifying any files or directories, ensuring no impact on SEO or loading speed.

In addition to hiding paths, the plugin incorporates a powerful application-layer firewall (7G/8G) that blocks SQL injections, XSS attacks, and other threats before they reach the PHP code. It includes brute force protection with reCAPTCHA, two-factor authentication (2FA), support for passkeys and Magic Link, country blocking, and IP blacklists. The real-time monitoring system offers a security threat log, a user activity log, a geographic threat map, and email alerts for any suspicious activity.

Configuration is quick and easy: with Ghost Mode, you can activate all essential security features in less than five minutes, without needing technical knowledge. The plugin also offers a security optimization score (0-100) so you always know your site's protection level. It is fully reversible at any time and compatible with all themes, plugins, and hosting services.

Hide My WP Ghost is designed for bloggers, developers, online stores, and any website manager who wants to significantly reduce automated attack attempts without complicating their daily routine. It does not replace other security layers like Wordfence, but complements them by adding a preventive layer that prevents attackers from identifying your site as a target in the first place.
