Wordfence Security 8.1.0

Notice: Wordfence Premium No Longer Offered

We’ve made the decision to discontinue offering the premium version of Wordfence across our platform.

While Wordfence Premium is a powerful tool, it relies heavily on real-time sync and updates from the developer’s servers, which can cause functionality issues and does not align well with our commitment to GPL principles and full local control.

To ensure a more stable and GPL-consistent experience, we will now be offering the free version of Wordfence instead. It continues to provide robust protection and works entirely without remote licensing dependencies.

We appreciate your understanding and remain committed to offering tools that respect both your freedom and functionality.

VERSION:
8.1.0
UPDATED:
2025-08-27
DEVELOPER:
Wordfence

AUTO UPDATE:
Yes
