Static Shield's security value comes from several layers working together — reduced fingerprinting, deliberate route control, default-deny isolation, and on-demand admin access — not from any single switch.
Fingerprint Shield removes the easy public markers (generator tags, discovery links, predictable paths) that let automated scanners identify WordPress quickly.
The Attack Surface tab maps every route the site exposes and lets you decide, individually, whether each one needs to stay public.
Zero-WordPress Mode (Pro) enforces that decision as a default-deny: unapproved routes are blocked before they reach WordPress, rather than relying on each route to defend itself.
Vault Mode (Pro) replaces a permanently open wp-admin with short-lived access windows you open yourself, so standing admin access isn't sitting reachable when nobody's using it.
None of these layers patch a vulnerable plugin, replace backups, or clean up an already-compromised site. They reduce what's reachable and how identifiable it is — updates, backups, and monitoring still matter.
Static Shield Lite is free to install and inspects your actual WordPress install, not just the public surface.
