WP Shieldon is a WordPress security plugin based on Shieldon library, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) for PHP.

When users or robots try to view many of your web pages within a short period of time, they will be temporarily banned. They can get unbanned by solving a Captcha.

You can visit the plugin author – Terry L.‘s blog and try reloading the pages several times to see how this plugin works. You can also try Terry’s login page to find it protected. For more information about Shieldon, please visit shieldon.io
