Less than 2 minutes. Download the plugin from the WordPress plugin directory, install and activate it. Then enter your account key and **Patchstack** starts working immediately. Just like any other WordPress plugin – no extra steps required. Do I need to modify my theme or plugins? No. That’s one of Patchstack’s biggest advantages – **no code changes at all**. The plugin works independently and does not touch your theme or other plugins. Your WordPress setup stays exactly the same, just better protected. What happens after the 3-month free trial? After the free trial ends, the subscription starts automatically at **€4.90 per website per month**. You can cancel at any time before the trial ends – you won’t be charged. Does Patchstack work with other security plugins and tools? Yes. Patchstack integrates smoothly with other security solutions. It focuses specifically on **fast vulnerability detection and prevention**, without causing conflicts or interfering with your existing tools. Is Patchstack a web application firewall (WAF)? Not exactly – and that’s actually its strength. Traditional web application firewalls rely on broad, pattern-based rules. This means they can either miss real threats or, on the other hand, block perfectly legitimate requests (so-called false positives). **Patchstack** takes a different approach. It analyses which WordPress plugins and themes your website is using, identifies the vulnerabilities related to them, and applies **targeted protection tailored specifically to your website**. The result is more precise, smarter, and far more effective protection. Does Patchstack modify my website’s code? No. Patchstack does not modify or overwrite any files. It works **before** malicious requests reach your website, blocking harmful traffic at the entry point. Your website’s code and content remain completely untouched. Do I still need Patchstack if I already use a firewall? Yes – Patchstack complements your firewall rather than replacing it. Firewalls are effective at filtering bot traffic and mitigating DDoS attacks. However, they are not designed to handle specific WordPress vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities are flaws in application logic, and exploiting them often looks like perfectly normal traffic – something a generic firewall cannot reliably distinguish. Patchstack is specialised in exactly these scenarios, providing targeted protection where traditional firewalls fall short. My website isn’t well known – why would anyone attack it? In reality, attackers don’t choose websites manually. Most attacks are **fully automated** and target any website that uses a plugin or theme with a known vulnerability. If your website includes such a component, it becomes a target – regardless of how large, small, or well known it is. Patchstack helps stop these attacks before they ever become a problem. Will Patchstack slow down my website? No. **Patchstack** applies mitigation rules only when a specific vulnerability is actually present on your website. Even when many rules are active at the same time, modern PHP versions handle this extremely efficiently, with no noticeable impact on performance. Simply put: your website stays fast, while security runs quietly in the background. I already use security monitoring. Why do I also need Patchstack? Security monitoring tools are mainly designed to **observe and report issues after they occur**. They alert you when something goes wrong, but they don’t actively stop attacks from happening. **Patchstack** works differently. It focuses on **preventing attacks before they happen** by protecting your WordPress website against known vulnerabilities in plugins and themes. The best results come from using both together: server-level malware scanning and monitoring for detection, and Patchstack for proactive, automatic protection against WordPress vulnerabilities. In other words, these solutions don’t replace each other – they **complement each other** to provide stronger overall security. Is there any delay in protection against new threats? No. Because Patchstack maintains one of the world’s largest WordPress vulnerability databases, users often receive protection **before a vulnerability is widely disclosed**. This means your website can be protected even when an issue is not yet public. Can I get help if something goes wrong? Absolutely. Our support team is always ready to help.
