Introduction to Banhammer Pro
Product Overview
Banhammer Pro is a security-enhancing plugin designed for WordPress users that provides visual banning and visitor management features. The plugin not only records all access behavior, but also allows administrators to quickly view and address potential threats through the “Jail” and “Watch” areas of the action panel. Through non-intrusive monitoring, Banhammer Pro helps websites identify abnormal IPs, malicious requests, bots and other behaviors, and provides one-click blocking or unblocking functions, which improves the security level of websites and simplifies the management process at the same time. It is especially suitable for independent sites, e-commerce platforms and membership sites that want to improve control and security.
