Great support experience.

Great support experience.

Phil was very clear and straight to the point, helping us quickly identify a jQuery conflict that was breaking parts of the site. The explanation was simple but technically solid, which made the fix straightforward.

Really appreciated the efficiency and professionalism.

Highly recommended.

Wordfence saved my community site when my host failed me

Wordfence saved my community site when my host failed me

I run a free community site for LGBTQ+ seniors that I operate purely out of love for my community. When malware infected my theme files, my hosting provider’s own paid malware scanner missed it completely — leaving me waiting all day with no resolution.

Wordfence not only detected the exact backdoor that my host missed, it identified the precise files affected and gave me everything I needed to fix it myself. Within hours my site was clean.

What truly set Wordfence apart was the human support. Margaret, a Customer Support Engineer, responded with clear, specific, actionable guidance perfectly tailored to my situation. She was knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely seemed to care about what I was doing and why.

For anyone running a WordPress site — especially a community or nonprofit site where budget is tight and every dollar counts — Wordfence is not optional. It’s essential. It’s the security layer that actually works when everything else fails.

Thank you Margaret and the entire Wordfence team. My community is safer because of you. 💙

Cannot recommend more highly

Wordfence is an intuitive and powerful plugin with stellar support. They are continuously updating it and communicating with end users. They have helped me through a hack (It was my fault--not a failed firewall) and the bazillion questions (for weeks) that followed. They have helped me through ensuring my test site is secure. The engineers are thorough, knowledgable, and responsive. I have the Premium version and highly recommend. I cannot recommend Wordfence more highly.

On resetting everything all at once.

A month prior to opening a support ticket with Wordfence, I had apparently misconfigured 2FA on one of my sites. After opening a ticket, Inreceived highly detailed instruction on the steps I needed to take to unravel the mess I had made and they worked perfectly.

Support is great and the “tone” of communications was very respectful.

I highly recommend the product and the service.

Great plugin! Great support!
The free version of Wordfence has been our go-to security plugin on client sites for years. When we had a client that required security to be cranked up a bit, it was a no-brainer to upgrade. Wordfence Premium handled everything we needed—and more.

We’ve only needed tech support once, but the support team was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable—and, more importantly, fast and accurate. Thanks, Wordfence!

We needed to close our paid account after moving away from WordPress sites. Wordfence's billing staff helped us to do that happily, quickly and efficiently. Much appreciated!

Top-notch customer service for this forum owner!

We've been using WordFence at NICOclub.com for several years, and the Care level support was immensely helpful a few years ago when we experienced a large-scale attack on the sites and servers. Since we didn't need that level of support going forward, we decided to drop down to the Premium level - except the message didn't make it from our web guy to WordFence. Oops.

My email to Support was handled within an hour. Margaret, Customer Support Engineer, switched our plan and processed the partial refund immediately. No hassles, no sales pitch about the benefits of the larger plan, just straightforward, honest GOOD customer service. We'll be sticking with WordFence for as long as we're online!

EFFECTIVE PROTECTION

EFFECTIVE PROTECTION, GOOD CUSTOMER SUPPORT. I run an Acupuncture clinic and am a Wordfence customer for at least 8 years. Since then I have no more intrusions or disruptions in my website. Wordfence application in my website keeps me continuously informed of the security status and advise corrections if needed. Additionally the customer service responds rather quickly and personnel pay attention to my concerns. This let me to have peace of mind and concentrate in my work. Highly recommended.

Do Not Build A Wordpress Site Without It

Have been using Wordfence for all our sites since forever and the service has provided serious piece of mind. The free version is plenty powerful, but if you have an ecommerce or manage sensitive information, the Premium version is well worth the annual subscription. Customer service is human, prompt and professional. Cannot give it a high enough recommendation.

They have my back

There have been several tmes in the last 10? years that I have called on WordFence because either a website had been hacked or there was a serious flag that went up. EVERYTIME, and almost seemingly immediately, they jumped into action and got my customer's issue(s) resolved. I cannot say enough good things about them and I am very happy to know that they have by back if I need them to.

Very good support

Very good support - fast, efficient. We needed an app to kill bots before it hit Wordpress - but for their support alone i would give then high marks and recommend.

Really good support service

I had a problem with my scan, and the support agent was really helpful and patient. It took us almost a month (mostly because it was Christmas and New Year's), but the response was always quite fast and helpful!

I never thought it would happen to me…

I never thought it would happen to me but it did. My site was hacked and I had no clue what do. I contacted customer support and Wordfence was right on it. It was a great wake-up call/ learning experience as well. It was like buying a warranty and actually using it!

Important Plugin with great support

I have Wordfence Premium running on two commercial sites and the free version on a few other, non-critical sites. Both versions work great but what makes the Premium worth the price is the support and the little additional features that you can tweak for your particular requirements. I've only needed the support a couple of times, but when I have, they are there and 'on-it': Quick, knowledgeable, result focused and polite. All the characteristics you need when you are likely most vulnerable - under attack or threat of attack. If you run a commercial Wordpress site, Wordfence Premium is, in my opinion a must-have plugin.
