AegiFlow vs Wordfence
A widely used WordPress security plugin with an application-level firewall and scanner.
Wordfence protects from inside WordPress. AegiFlow is designed to operate outside the application and can coexist with it; independent continuity while origin and control plane are down is still an unpassed product gate.
Side by side
Different tools optimize for different problems. This is where each one concentrates.
| Dimension | Wordfence | AegiFlow |
|---|---|---|
| Operating model | A plugin running inside WordPress on the same server as the protected site. | An edge and control plane outside the application. Private mutual-TLS origin routing is verified for the current GoTe scope, not promised for every onboarding state. |
| When the site is down | Plugin protection is down together with the site. | Signed static bundles and validation-hostname drill receipts exist; independent activation and login, checkout or production-apex recovery are not yet proven. |
| Incident response | Blocking rules, login hardening and scan alerts inside the dashboard. | Correlated cases and a receipt-backed action lifecycle. Provider-changing controls remain approval-gated in the operator-assisted beta. |
| State honesty | Scan status and firewall statistics. | A state is shown as verified only while its evidence is recent. Missing checks become Unknown, never green. |
