Instead of yoursite.com\/wp-login.php, you could use yoursite.com\/my-secret-door or any slug you prefer.<\/p>\n<p>What happens when someone tries the old login URL? You choose: show a 404 error, redirect to your homepage, or send them to any URL you specify.<\/p>\n<p>For agencies managing multiple client sites, this single feature can reduce support tickets and security incidents dramatically. Clients sleep better knowing their login page isn't exposed to the entire internet.<\/p>\n<p>Stack Guard is 70% smaller than competitors like Wordfence and Solid Security Pro - just 6MB vs 20-25MB.
