WP Ghost

WP Ghost (formerly known as Hide My WP Ghost) is a professional-grade, comprehensive hack-prevention security solution for WordPress. Built for speed and engineered for maximum defense, WP Ghost provides a multi-layered security architecture designed to block hacker bots, neutralize automated scanners, and stop the hack before the reconnaissance even begins.

While traditional security tools focus on Detection (scanning for malware after a breach) or Signature-Filtering (blocking known exploits), WP Ghost focuses on Architecture. By implementing Paths Security and Site Hardening, we remove the digital footprints that make your site a target for automated botnets, providing a proactive foundation that secures your site before it can even be identified as a target.

WP Ghost Global Stats:

• 10 Million+ Monthly Brute-Force Attempts Blocked
• 100 Million+ Monthly Security Threats Prevented

Stop Attacks with Paths Security & Architectural Hardening

Most WordPress attacks are automated. Bots scan millions of sites per hour looking for default paths like /wp-admin or /wp-login.php to confirm a site is running WordPress. Once confirmed, they launch targeted exploits against known plugin or theme vulnerabilities.

WP Ghost breaks this cycle. By changing and securing common paths, you reduce your attack surface by up to 90%. This isn’t “obscurity”, it’s Site Hardening. We re-engineer the visible structure of your site so it is no longer a low-hanging fruit for global botnets.

NEW: AI Security Explanations — Your Report, Explained for Your Website

Every security plugin hands you a list of red warnings. Almost none of them tell you what those warnings mean for your website.

WP Ghost now does. One click sends your findings for analysis against the way your site is actually configured — your server type, whether your rewrite rules are live, whether your config file is writable, which security mode you run — and returns a security report written for you, not for WordPress in general.

Requires a WP Ghost subscription, which includes a monthly allowance of AI checks. Everything else on the Security Check page — the scan, the score, the prioritised list, the severity bands and every task detail — is free and works on its own.

What you get back:

• A plain-language summary of your whole website. One paragraph that finally answers “so, am I actually secure?”
• A headline you can understand. The technical task name is replaced with what is genuinely at stake.
• One clear action per finding. Not a description of the problem — an instruction telling you what to do.
• A security explanation on demand. Open Details on any finding and you get the reasoning: why it matters on your server, what an attacker would do with it, and why it was ranked where it was. This is the part that teaches you WordPress security instead of just flagging it.
• Priority based on real exposure. Findings are re-ranked using your actual configuration, so the item at the top is the one that genuinely puts you at risk — not the one that scores highest in a generic table.

Built with limits you can check. Only your findings and a small description of your setup are ever sent — no page content, no user data, no credentials. Your security list, your score, the severity bands and every task detail are generated locally and keep working whether the AI is available or not.
