About Saurity

WordPress security built by engineers who have been locked out one too many times.

Our Mission

Build WordPress security tools that prioritize reliability and accessibility over aggressive blocking.

Saurity was born from frustration with WordPress security plugins that lock out legitimate admins in their quest to stop attackers. We believe security should protect your site without creating new problems.

Too many security plugins prioritize features over stability. They add aggressive blocking, instant IP bans, and complex firewall rules that break sites and lock out users. When something goes wrong, you're left scrambling to regain access.

Saurity takes a different approach: fail-safe architecture, progressive rate limiting, and multiple recovery mechanisms ensure you never lose access to your WordPress admin.

Our Philosophy

Stability First

A security plugin that locks you out of your site is worse than no security at all. We prioritize accessibility and reliability above aggressive features.

Fail-Safe Design

When in doubt, allow access. If Saurity encounters an error or uncertainty, it automatically disables itself rather than blocking legitimate users.

Technical Honesty

No marketing hype, no exaggerated claims. We document what v0.1 does and doesn't do. Security is about managing risk, not eliminating it.

Performance Matters

Heavy security plugins slow down sites. Saurity uses transients, single queries, and efficient algorithms to provide protection without performance penalties.

What Makes Us Different

Zero Lockout Guarantee

Emergency bypass URL, global kill switch, auto-disable detection, and fail-open architecture ensure you always have access. Unlike other plugins that can brick your admin panel.

Progressive Rate Limiting

Exponential delays instead of instant blocks. Stops brute force attacks while protecting legitimate users who mistype passwords. Most plugins block immediately, creating false positives.

Shared Hosting Friendly

Near-zero performance overhead. No complex database queries, no file scanning, no heavy processing. Works perfectly on budget shared hosting without slowing down your site.

Open Source & Free

GPL v2 licensed. No premium upsells, no feature limitations, no license keys. The full plugin is free forever. Contribute on GitHub if you find it useful.

Development Approach

Start Small, Prove Stability

Version 0.1 focuses on login security only. No malware scanning, no 2FA, no complex firewall rules. We'll add advanced features only after proving v0.1 is rock-solid and lockout-free.

Test Everything

Every feature is tested on multiple hosting environments: shared hosting, VPS, managed WordPress, and local development. We test edge cases, failure scenarios, and recovery mechanisms.

Listen to Users

Development is driven by real-world feedback. If users report issues or suggest improvements, we investigate thoroughly. Open source means transparent development and community input.

Document Honestly

Clear documentation about what works, what doesn't, and known limitations. No hiding behind vague marketing speak. If something isn't ready, we say so explicitly.
