Blackwall for WordPress

WEBSITE SECURITY & BOT MANAGEMENT DESIGNED & ENGINEERED FOR WORDPRESS HOSTING PROVIDERS

WordPress Hosting Providers can now deploy Blackwall’s gold-standard Web Security & Network Performance technology that allows network optimization to be increased on the back-end, while rolling-out threat mitigation offerings to customers for free, or via upsales.

Built to Grow Your Hosting Business

Centrally manage deployments, unlock seamless upsell paths that monetize WordPress security — all while delivering a better daily experience for your hosting customers.

MAKE WORDPRESS ADMINS’ LIVES EASIER AND STAND OUT

Blackwall streamlines day-to-day site management for WordPress admins by bringing security, performance, and insights into one place. It’s a smoother experience for users — and a clear way for providers to differentiate their offering in a crowded market.

OPTIMIZE RESOURCES & SERVER DENSITY

By reducing unnecessary traffic, Blackwall frees up valuable server capacity — allowing you to host more domains on the infrastructure you already own. This means better usage of your existing resources, lower operational costs, and improved scalability without added hardware.

CENTRALIZED PLUGIN MANAGEMENT WITH AUTODISCOVER

Easily manage plugin settings across all WordPress instances with Blackwall’s Autodiscover feature. It automatically detects installations and centralizes configuration, saving time for hosting providers and streamlining operations at scale.

SEAMLESS UPSELLING OPPORTUNITIES

Blackwall makes it easy to define upgrade paths that match your users’ evolving needs. Whether bundled with managed WordPress plans or offered as a premium add-on, the platform enables seamless upselling — helping users unlock more advanced features as their sites grow, while creating new revenue opportunities for providers.

Effortless Security & Performance Built Right Into wp-admin

Simple enough for anyone to set up. Powerful and flexible for pros who want full control.

ONE-CLICK DEPLOYMENT

Blackwall for WordPress is designed to be installed and activated with a “one-click” via plugin catalogue or pre-installed by the hosting provider as part of the WordPress template.

SET-AND-FORGET GRANULAR TRAFFIC RULES

Manage Blackwall’s security rules and settings directly from wp-admin with an intuitive interface that’s easy for anyone to use. The default ruleset covers up to 80% of common threats out of the box, while power users can fine-tune traffic filtering in real time using advanced tools like HTTP headers, connection fingerprinting, IP reputation scoring, geofencing, and behavioral analysis — all without leaving WordPress.

FINE-TUNING FOR OPTIMIZED PERFORMANCE

Hosting customers can fine-tune website performance directly from WordPress by managing protocols and content caching policies with ease. Blackwall provides the control over how content is delivered — from optimizing HTTP behavior, to adjusting cache settings — ensuring faster load times, reduced server strain, and a smoother experience for every visitor.

EASY ACCESS TO TRAFFIC STATISTICS

Blackwall provides a clear, real-time view of site visitors , how they’re interacting with the site, and where they’re coming from — all without leaving the WordPress dashboard. It’s a simple way for hosting customers to stay informed and spot unusual activity at a glance.

PROTECT YOUR ENVIRONMENT FROM ZERO-DAY EXPLOITS

Shield your WordPress site from unknown plugin exploits and zero-day vulnerabilities with real-time threat detection and mitigation.

ENSURE FAULT TOLERANCE AND PERFORMANCE

Protocol optimization and edge caching included, for faster and more efficient content delivery.

QUICK ADAPTATION TO CHANGING TRAFFIC PATTERNS

Blackwall keeps hosting customers informed the moment unusual traffic or security incidents occur, so they can react quickly and confidently.
