Site Performance - Wordfence and Cloudflare

10 August 2026 at 04:06

Have a website that I am trying to streamline due to some server limits being hit, so I'm looking at code improvements and plugins in particular.

I have been running Wordfence premium on the site for a few years, though I'm not too sure what value it really provides.

A year ago I also put CloudFlare in front of the site as we were experiencing a large amount of bot traffic.

Do these two services overlap in terms of what they provide? Does Wordfence give me much benefit? I installed Wordfence following a hack on another website kind of blindly - following searching for things like 'how to improve wordpress security'.

Does it provide me any real value as I never really look at it. The main actual usable benefit is that it emails me a warning when a plugin is out of date.
