i am very much happy with the whole functionality of the Shield. First of all it is very well documented and for newbies like me this is a plus! it guides you step by step to configure it and even if you are not sure about turning on an option you can always read a very good explanation of this option to decide if you wanted or not. It doesn’t crush your site – everything works perfectly – for me at least. I spent hours searching security plugin but this one really helps and it has all the necessary tools you need to keep you site safe for free. this is another plus. I highly recommend it to newbies! Give it a try. Good job Paul!
