Adam, you made this video in 2017 and here I'm in 2020 get started with my website and looking for a security plugin and this same video is all I needed, not to mention your backup updraft plus video I watched and implemented last week. Thanks for looking out for the future bloggers like me when making videos. God bless you immensely.

Excellent video! You have a great voice and present very well!! You were right about the fence! I loaded my website and it took 8 seconds. I took it off and it took 4 seconds!! Thank you! iThemes it is!!! About to watch your video now!

Thank you for these videos and thank you for your honesty and not just pushing affiliate product down our throats.

[AwesomeMetalBands]

Surely hosting companies should all be about security if they can't do that properly then I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. You're paying for the expertise.

By the way thank you very much for your honesty about wordfence.

I have to agree your videos are very informative and professionally done. lml

[FrankMillerPsychMD]

Wonderful honest, experience based trustworthy information as usual. Thank you again for the effort that is evident in your 'reports.'

[NanetteThelemaque]

Thank for this. Your insight has helped very much.

[cubosquare]

It was much needed information, just after i finished your video, saw the pricing has changed by iThemes, they no more give plans of lifetime, very disappointed to see this video so late, keep up the fair information regulate for free, subscribing you right away. Thanks and regards. Founder of Cubosquare, India

[RonaldSurya]

Looking forward to iThemes Security tutorials from you. Thank you Adam!

[charleslotara]

Hi Adam, thanks for the hard work. You're helping us so much. May you please make a tutorial on how to add full background ads on a WordPress site?

[infinitycreations]

was about to subscribe then I realized I am subscribed. great effort men. I was using wordfence and yes I realized it was loading slower but didn't connect the dots until now. I would definitely switch to ithemes thanks to you. I also love the fact that you can have a the premium for life. that is also great. thanks again.

I think you need to recheck 'All In One Security & Firewall'. It's frequently updated and it got tons of options. True, it does not have the centralized network (which is indeed very good to have), but the options are really good (saved me numerous times from hacks). Excellent video - and thanks Adam for your great work.

[sybdeclark]

Thank you for a great video!
Question: I already have an SSL certificate. Can installing iThemes create incompatibility issues, since it automatically comes in with its SSL certificate?

[michaelgovers]

Another great tutorial Adam, thank you ;)

[ankits]

Waiting for iThemes Security tutorials Thank you Adam!

I have iThemes but for the second time a bug with shortpixel plugin crashed my website. Can I also use Wordfence, just in case??

[PixemWeb]

It's true that using Wordfence or any security plugin that makes database calls and or creates a firewall via your htaccess file will cause some performance issues but most have settings as you mentioned that enable you to minimize the performance issue.

I like Wordfence and some of the others you mentioned and I also like some of the lessor known Security Plugins that are narrowly focused and do just one thing. I just created a video about *BBQ* that's an extremely easy to use security plugin.

I look forward to your upcoming security plugins overview.

Adam, would you please do an updated security plugin video? I've been using iThemes Security, free version, and I think it is great, but ever since I updated ListingPro theme, the iThemes Security plugin breaks my site... :( Now I have to use another one... and I don't know which

[plmcreative]

Thanks for this Adam. I tend to use these days wp engine or flywheel (signed up today) and other these companies use the premium firewall and malware scan and cleanup from sucuri. I have almost 20 sites on sucuri cloudproxi too, and I think it's excellent. But now it's better value to get this via wp engine or flywheel as part of bulk plans.

I have a cloudways vs server for the smaller sites and clients that can't afford the premium hosting, and I've been trying to figure out the best plugin based security for these clients. I really don't like Wordfence too much, and agree it can be a performance problem, however I just could not see the wood from the trees for an alternative. I have been impressed with ithemes security too, and Cory Miller is a guy I really have tons of respect for.

I also have a subscription to wpmu, but I'm barely using it on any new sites now. I may cancel that. I wasn't overly impressed with Defender. It felt too lacking in comparison.

Great video Adam

Always love your opinions...you always can back up what you say with your own experience. :)

[TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

If I had ithemes and they found malware on my blog, can they remove it as part of the paid version?
