It scans & monitors file changes with automatic removal! Literally the best
Read the full WordPress.org reviewI can not say enough about Shield Security’s service and product.
It’s always a big ordeal to maintain the security of my wp site and I have not found a plugin/service that can keep my sites safe, detect file changes & remove them automatically until I found Shield Security.
This plugin literally does it all, if any file is changed or added it notifies you & with the scanner running every hour I never miss a malware injection.
It scans and monitors WordPress core files for changes, files for malware infections, and plugin & theme files for changes. THEN you can set it to AUTOMATICALLY delete these unrecognized files. What?!? How perfect is that!
I just went in and removed all my other security plugins (malcare pro, wordfence, sucuri pro, Anti-Malware from GOTMLS.NET) because I am so sold on Shield Security Pro.
It literally does everything and can I say that the pricing model is UNBEATABLE!
I also need to mention that their customer support is also literally the BEST that I have ever encountered with any security/any product. I had a big issue I needed hands-on help with and they happily helped me with everything. They are so knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and kind. Such a great experience.
This product has really been a lifesaver go try the week free trial or just buy the subscription, it’s a no brainer!
FAQ
Questions before you buy.
Which plan is most suitable for my business-critical site?
ShieldPRO Plus!
- It adds ShieldBACKUPS for clean restore points when something goes wrong.
- It includes AI malware scanning for stronger detection on sites that matter.
- It strengthens logins with advanced 2FA and passkeys.
Can I start on Free and upgrade later?
Yes. Free covers lower-risk sites and you can move to Plus whenever a site needs more protection, without reinstalling Shield.
Can I add more sites later?
Yes. You can add more sites whenever you need them. The upgrade cost is calculated pro rata against the time left on your current license, so you only pay the fair difference.
How does the site count change the price?
Each higher site count covers more WordPress installs, so the total price rises. Larger site packs reduce the effective price per site, making the plan better value as your site count grows.
What if Plus is not right for me?
Every paid plan is backed by a money-back guarantee, and you can cancel renewals at any time.

Hands down the best Security Plugin on the Market
Read the full WordPress.org reviewI tried tentatively with a single licence to test Shield Security out, without holding out much hope. I’ve not had much luck with security plugins. Even the really expensive ones don’t seem to play nicely with my server set up. Well I tried one site, it worked perfectly. Bought the 3 licences and installed on another 2 sites, still not convinced. They also work perfectly, even with slightly different set ups. The modules allow you to tweak each site for its own needs, which is a game changer for me. I just wish I’d of got this plugin earlier. Oh well, better late than never. I’ve just bought 10 licenses to keep me busy for the next few days installing on more client sites. Thanks for this plugin. 👍
