Q: I currently have Wordfence Pro.
Would I get similar protection with you? I’m not a security person so rely heavily on wordfence to protect my site. If I get a critical error it sends me a link to get access - do you do this? Thanks

May 15, 2024A: Hey there, livingingrace! Thank you for your interest in Hide My WP Ghost by Squirrly.
We don't intend to replace the other security plugins out there. Our purpose is to add an extra layer of protection (not available in the others), in order to prevent hacking attempts.
Hide My WP Ghost will complement WordFence by offering an extra layer of protection that the other doesn’t offer, and they are compatible. With Hide My WP Ghost, you prevent attacks from happening, by hiding vulnerabilities in themes, WP core, and plugins.
Hackers and hacker bots can’t attack what they can’t find.
It does a bit more, as you will see on the Features list here: https://hidemywpghost.com/hide-my-wp-ghost-security-features/
This offers an extra layer of protection that you don’t get from other plugins because those focus on helping you while you are attacked and after you were attacked, by cleaning files, detecting malware, injections, etc.
With Hide My WP Ghost, you can avoid getting injections in the first place.

When activating either Safe Mode or Ghost Mode in Hide My WP Ghost, you will be asked to perform a test (which enables you to check website functionality from a preview popup). If you notice any issues at this point, you can abort. You will also receive a SAFE URL that enables you to log in in the rare event of a compatibility issue or server configuration error.

Hope this helps but let me know if you need more details or have any other questions.
