Wordpress Scan Issues for Website

Launched my website February 2024 and along the way upgraded to Wordfence Premium which seems to be a great product. I recently had issues with the scan not working successfully, and wasn’t sure what to do regarding, so I contacted my Web Developer and also contacted Wordfence Tech Suppprt. Phil from Wordfence Tech Support was able to help funnel the solution after a few days of back and forth emails on different time zones (Australia to US). Phil’s solutions were very descriptive and easy to follow as well as helped me to learn a few additional things about Wordfence.
Scans are back working fine again.
Thanks heaps!

Outstanding Support – Consistently Excellent for Years

We've been a customer for over half a decade now, and throughout all this time, the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The service has always been reliable, smooth, and exactly what we needed – no unpleasant surprises, just consistently great results.

What really stands out is the customer support. On the rare occasions we've needed assistance, the team has always responded quickly, kindly, and with genuine care. Most recently, we had a situation that could have been frustrating, but it was handled with such professionalism and generosity that it left us speechless – in the best way.

It's rare to find a company that manages to maintain such a high standard over so many years. We're truly grateful and will continue to recommend them without hesitation.

Out of the way assistance

I was so sure that I was hacked. I wrote a ticket (WordFence Care) which was promptly acted upon. Margaret, the customer support engineer handling the issue, researched the problem, which was a technical issue, and then explained the problem. I was able to resolve the problem quickly. Thanks to all those at WordFence who painstakingly and patiently help people like me who, at times, inadvertently give a false alarm.

Prompt Ticket support

Submitted a ticket about issue with the "Brute Force Protection". Ticket response was prompt, easy to follow and resolved the issue. Phil, the Customer Support Engineer was very helpful. Greatly appreciated.

Not optional if you run a Wordpress site

Wordpress is the most popular blogging platform in the world, yay! But what they don't tell you is that when you stand up a Wordpress site on today's web, you will immediately be pummeled by hackers from all over the planet trying every known exploit to own you.

The hackers may not make visible changes to your site. Instead they often inject malware into your templates so that anyone who visits your site gets attacked, also usually in some non-obvious way, so that no one knows how or when it happened.

The only hope you have is to install Wordfence and protect your site. I've run it for years on my business and personal blogs and have been 100% satisfied with their service.

And a final note, their customer service is the best I've encountered in ANY industry.

Several months ago I made the decision to migrate my sites away from Wordpress and build my own static site to show off my development skills.

I turned off my Wordfence renewals in advance, but one renewal went through today. I responded saying I'd turned it off and could they please refund. It was literally 3 minutes (not even kidding) before I got a response from Tiffany, saying she'd processed the refund.

3 minutes. Have you ever gotten satisfaction from a customer support interaction that fast? I know I haven't.

Great service for websites and the overall WordPress community

I've been using Wordfence for 10 years on all my sites. It's the first plugin I install, and I'm so grateful that there's a free version that's accessible to everyone regardless of their budget. I do miss the old premium/cleanup pricing models, because the paid thresholds are out of reach for some. But when I've needed it, the support is so quick and always thorough. Tiffany helped me with an issue with a license key yesterday and it was resolved literally 10 minutes after I submitted my ticket. Can't beat that! Thankfully, it's been several years since I had to use them for a site cleanup, but I trust them to clean up the server better than most webhosts themselves. And I appreciate their dedication to improving overall security for all of us. Great company.

Excellent Protection and Customer Support

The service is great. Our website was hacked a few years ago and Wordfence worked with us to remove all the offending bits of code and helped us lockdown the remaining points of entry. The product is intuitive and well integrated into the platform. But the best feature of all is their exceptional customer support, whenever you need help they are at the ready.

Exemplary Support That Truly Sets the Standard

Wordfence not only delivers an outstanding security solution for WordPress, but it also stands out for the quality of its technical support. Every time I’ve reached out for assistance, the team has responded promptly, clearly, and effectively—resolving issues with a level of professionalism that is genuinely appreciated. It’s exactly what one hopes for—and so rarely finds—in a support service: fast, helpful, solution-focused responses from the very first interaction. In a field as critical as website security, having such reliable support inspires real confidence.

They did a great job

They did a great job cleaning my website from a virus. They gave me a list of recommendations and made a follow up on my status. It was everything perfect, thank you.

Great customer care

Had some technical issues with Mastercard declining to process transactions, even though the credit cards issuers authorized them. Phil was a real help, giving me more time and all the information and support I needed. Thanks again for outstanding service!
