Q: how does this plugin compare to using Sucuri firewall?
I currently use Sucuri to keep my site clean and they run daily scans. It includes a firewall and site clean up if it gets hacked.
How does this plugin compare to Sucuri?
Thanks!

Security Ninja is an in‑site WordPress plugin focused on hardening, scheduled scans, core/malware checks, login protection and an application-level firewall. A plugin WAF is useful for detection and hardening but won’t absorb large DDoS or replace a cloud WAF.
We don't include guaranteed site cleanup with the plugin today, but we're working on a separate cleanup/response service. If you want both layers, Sucuri (cloud) + Security Ninja (in‑site) pair well together.
