Description
DominoGuard is a focused, minimalistic security solution for WordPress. Designed to be fast and lightweight, it provides the essential security features every website needs with a clean configuration.
Key Features
- Limit Login Attempts: Automatically block IPs for 15 minutes after 5 continuous failed login attempts, keeping brute-force attacks at bay.
- Email Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Add an extra layer of security for Administrators. When enabled, logging in requires a 6-digit code sent to the admin’s email address.
- Brute Force Protection: Easily disable XML-RPC, a common vector for brute force and pingback attacks.
- Block User Enumeration: Prevent attackers from discovering your administrator username by blocking
/?author=Nquery scans. - Basic Firewall: A lightweight WAF that silently blocks simple directory traversal attempts (
../) and basic malicious query strings commonly found in automated SQL injections.
Why DominoGuard?

FAQ
-
How does the Email 2FA work?
-
When “Enable Email 2FA” is active, Administrators will be prompted to enter a 2FA code during login. If the password is correct, the plugin sends a secure 6-digit code to the administrator’s email. This code must be entered into the “2FA Code” field on the login screen, alongside the username and password, to successfully log in.
-
Will DominoGuard slow down my website?
-
No. DominoGuard is built with a minimalist philosophy. It runs efficient code with minimal impact on your website performance.
-
Do I need to configure the Firewall?
-
No configuration is needed. When enabled, it quietly blocks some explicit malicious patterns in URLs before WordPress even loads fully, keeping you safe.
