The Security page is a five-tab suite covering login protection, server hardening, core file integrity, and two-factor authentication. A separate Security Scanner page provides proactive threat detection with malware scanning, CVE lookups, SSL monitoring, and core version checks.

Status cards

The Overview tab displays six status cards — one per feature. Each card shows an On (green) or Off badge so you can assess your security posture at a glance.
FeatureWhat the card shows when active
Admin URLThe custom login slug (e.g. /my-secret-login)
Login LimiterThe configured max-attempts threshold
IP BlocklistNumber of blocked IPs / CIDR ranges
XML-RPC”Disabled”
Hide WP Version”Version hidden”
Two-Factor Auth”TOTP active”
Below the cards, the tab shows your current WordPress version and locale with a link to the Integrity tab where you can verify core files.
