Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Bonjour, je souhaite autorisé un bot (Facebook) à faire son tour sur mon site et pouvoir partager les images de mes articles en publication sur FB.Il semble que le bot “facebookexternalhit” soit bloqué mais je ne trouve nulle part où libérer son passage. J’ai activé le mode “Expert” dans le tableau de bord de SecuPress mais je n’ai accès à rien qui me permette de gérer à la lettre ce que je souhait bloquer ou débloquer. Comment faire ?

J’utilise SecuPress Pro sur plusieurs sites clients via une licence 25 sites. Depuis la mise à jour vers SecuPress Pro 2.6, plusieurs sites rencontrent des erreurs fatales liées aux processus en arrière-plan : Call to undefined method SecuPress_Background_Process_File_Monitoring::is_processing() ou Call to undefined method SecuPress_Background_Process_Bad_Plugins::is_processing() Ces erreurs apparaissent : via WP-Cron lors de l’accès au module File Monitoring parfois directement dans l’administration Les environnements sont différents (hébergeurs, thèmes, PHP 8.2 / 8.3), ce qui laisse penser à un bug introduit dans la version 2.6. Autre problème : plusieurs sites perdent aléatoirement la licence premium et basculent en version gratuite alors qu’ils sont toujours listés comme actifs. Ticket support envoyé, relance, toujours sans réponse à ce jour. Dommage car le plugin est intéressant sur le principe, mais pour un usage professionnel avec plusieurs sites clients, l’absence de réponse du support est problématique.

Jusqu’à présent, je l’installais sur tous mes sites mais ces derniers temps, trop de bugs et des mises à jour toutes les semaines. La version 2.3.16.1 m’a fait perdre une matinée entière pour downgrader à la version 2.3.15 et cerise sur le gateau j’ai du reconfiguré chaque site. Déçu.. J’espère que l’avenir me fera revenir sur cet avis, en attendant je vais surement me diriger vers une autre solution.

Great for protecting your website in a few clicks. Very easy to set up. The developer responded and acted very quickly when a problem occurred. You can trust him. As an improvement, I would have appreciated that some options were automatically active by default such as: Use a connection attempt blocker Connection errors Prohibit account enumeration Forbidden identifiers Disable all XML-RPC features Directory Listing PHP disclosure PHP version disclosure WordPress version disclosure Access to bad URLs Protection of readme files and other sensitive files Extension version disclosure

Customer service and communications when a negative situation is present is a pure zero from my experience. I had an automatic renewal take place that I believed was cancelled and have been trying to over 2 weeks to get a response or engage with the owner of this plugin. Zip, zero, nada. Has my dollars in his account and now seems to consider this a ethical source of income. Just be careful. Also, the plugin was way to much of a problem when I did try to use it. Many better options. And considering the business model that seems to be focused on income over all else, better options may be better.

SecuPress Pro failed to detect or address a site infected due to CVE-2023-40000. Over 70 files were corrupted, with a script tag added to wp-config.php, and SecuPress flagged nothing. It also ignored dozens of POST requests to the /wp-json/litespeed/v1/cdn_status endpoint. To be fair, the plugin was installed after the infection, so it might have prevented it initially—but I wouldn’t recommend relying on this plugin.

J’utilise Secupress avec un compte pro depuis plus de 5 ans pour tous mes sites. J’ai vraiment vécu une 1ère phase très satisfaisante avec le plugin : Une ergonomie au top, une équipe de support au taquet ! Bref, j’avais une grosse grosse confiance et me sentais “en sécurité”. Big up à Julio pour cette réalisation !!Hélas, depuis 2023, j’ai constaté des bugs improbables sur mes installations dont la source était telle ou telle fonctionnalité de SecuPress. J’ai alors voulu obtenir de l’aide et ai remonté dernièrement un souci vraiment bloquant, mais le support ne répond visiblement plus. En tant qu’entrepreneur, je comprends tout à fait qu’on puisse traverser des phases difficiles, et je souhaite le meilleur à Julio… Mais en tant que client, ne pas avoir de retours ni de solution alors que le plugin crée de gros soucis de performances est très problématique. Je ne peux donc hélas plus le recommander actuellement, mais serai ravi à l’avenir de modifier ce post. This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by maksanse.

L’extension SecuPress offre deux avantages majeurs : une protection complète contre les menaces de sécurité et une interface utilisateur intuitive. Je souhaite exprimer ma profonde reconnaissance envers l’équipe de SecuPress pour leur intervention exemplaire qui a sécurisé mon site web face à des menaces critiques. Grâce à leur plugin performant et leurs conseils avisés, nous avons pu neutraliser plusieurs vulnérabilités majeures. Aujourd’hui, je suis serein en sachant que 15 de mes sites bénéficient de la protection robuste offerte par SecuPress. Le plugin SecuPress est intuitif, riche en fonctionnalités et offre des solutions de sécurité de haut niveau, adaptées aussi bien aux débutants qu’aux experts en sécurité. L’équipe de support est réactive, professionnelle et extrêmement compétente, toujours prête à fournir une assistance précieuse. Je recommande vivement SecuPress à tous les administrateurs de sites WordPress désireux de renforcer la sécurité de leurs sites. Merci infiniment, SecuPress !
