Brute-Force Logins, Spam Floods, and Break-Ins on wp-admin?
The ebook Cloudflare for Website Owners shows you how to block them before they ever reach WordPress, with no extra plugin, mostly on Cloudflare's free plan.
The Bots Already Know Where Your wp-login Is.
*step by step with dashboard screenshots, includes a full WordPress case-study chapter
Every WordPress owner knows the routine. The comments fill with spam, the logs fill with failed login attempts, and the usual advice is always the same: install another security plugin. So the plugin stack grows, the site gets slower, and the attacks still reach your server first. WordPress powers a huge share of the web, which is exactly why automated scripts probe wp-login and xmlrpc on every site they find, including the small ones.

WordPress FAQ
Do I need to remove my security plugin?
That is your call, and the book helps you make it honestly. Cloudflare stops attacks at the edge, before they reach your server, which covers most of what security plugins fight all day. Some hardening work still lives on the WordPress side, and the book spells out exactly which parts, so you can decide what to keep.
Will it conflict with my caching plugin?
No, and this is a common worry. Cloudflare's cache and a WordPress caching plugin work at different layers. The WordPress case-study chapter covers a caching setup that plays nicely with WordPress, including what is safe to cache and what never should be.
How does the book protect wp-admin and wp-login?
In layers: rate limiting slows brute-force attempts on the login page, the WAF filters known attack patterns, and Cloudflare Zero Trust puts an identity check in front of wp-admin, so only you can even see the login form. Each layer is a chapter with dashboard screenshots.
I'm not a technical person. Can I follow it?
Yes. The ebook is written for website owners, and every concept and setting is explained from the ground up with dashboard screenshots. If you can log in to your WordPress dashboard, you have all the background you need.
Do I need a paid Cloudflare plan?
Most of the setup in this ebook works on Cloudflare's free plan, including the WAF managed ruleset, rate limiting for your login page, bot filtering, and Turnstile for your forms. A few advanced features are paid, and the book always flags clearly which is which.
What exactly do I get for $20?
The complete PDF ebook, 22 chapters in 6 parts, on securing, speeding up, and keeping your website reliable with Cloudflare, including the full WordPress case study, in your inbox the moment you pay.
My site is not on WordPress. Is the book still useful?
Yes. Cloudflare sits in front of your website, so everything in the book applies to any platform. WordPress gets a dedicated case-study chapter on top of the platform-agnostic material.
