Place your WordPress site behind the power of the StackPath edge network. This plugin gives you performance analysis at-a-glance, web application firewall (WAF) control, and origin monitoring to ensure site uptime, reliability, and speed.
Once installed, this plugin scans your StackPath account for a matching site or lets you make new service to put in front of your WordPress installation. After the plugin is linked to your StackPath site you have the ability to:
- See overall and per-location CDN bandwidth and request metrics.
- Purge content from the CDN cache all at once, by path, and automatically as you change your site's content.
- Optionally skip CDN caching of requests with common WordPress cookies in them.
- See WAF analytics and recent security events against your site.
- Place the WAF into monitoring mode to enable and disable firewall service.
- Configure denial of service protection.
- Block access to your WordPress installation's admin area except for an allowed list of IP addresses or IP ranges.
- View your WordPress installation's uptime as monitored by StackPath's global edge network.
Please Note: This plugin is currently in beta. The following features are still in development:
- Installation from the admin area's plugins page
- Creating new StackPath service
- Firewall control and reporting
- Monitoring reporting
- An active StackPath account with API credentials. Visit the API management page in the StackPath customer portal to generate yours.
- An active site on your StackPath account. This won't be a requirement after the beta period.
- A working WordPress version 5.3.0+ installation running at least PHP version 5.6.
Coming soon!
