Sitevorx

Description

Sitevorx is a lightweight, all-in-one WordPress plugin that helps you optimize performance, harden security, and manage your website from a single, modern dashboard. No bloat, no external dependencies — just the tools you need.

Security Center (NEW in 1.1.0)

  • Security Score Dashboard: A single 0–100 score that summarizes the hardening state of your site, with prioritized recommendations.
  • Core Integrity Checker: Compares every WordPress core file against the official api.wordpress.org MD5 checksums to detect modified, missing, or extra files.
  • HTTP Security Headers: One-click enable X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy on the frontend.
  • Login Honeypot: Invisible bait field on wp-login.php that silently rejects spam bots without affecting real users.
  • User Enumeration Protection: Blocks ?author=N probing and the public REST /wp/v2/users endpoint for non-logged-in visitors.
  • Login Notification: Emails the administrator whenever an account with manage_options logs in successfully (1-hour cooldown per IP).
  • Login Attempt Limiter: Lock out IPs after repeated failed login attempts, with configurable threshold, lockout duration, and IP allowlist.
  • Secret Login URL: Hide the default wp-login.php behind a custom keyword.
  • Google reCAPTCHA v2 / v3: Protect the login form from bots, with a configurable v3 score threshold.
  • Disable XML-RPC and Disable File Editor: Block DDoS / brute-force vectors and stop code editing from the dashboard.

Speed Optimization

  • Heartbeat Throttle: Slows the Heartbeat API to 60 seconds instead of disabling it, preserving autosave and post-locking.
  • System Tweaks: Lazy load images, limit post revisions, allow safe SVG uploads (with XXE-hardened sanitizer).
  • Database Cleanup: Remove revisions, spam comments, and expired transients in one click.
  • Malware Scanner: Scan your entire codebase and database for suspicious injections.

SMTP Configuration

  • Send emails via Gmail (App Password) or a custom SMTP server (SSL/TLS).
  • Built-in Test Email sender.
  • Email delivery log with success/failure tracking.
  • Force From Name and From Email to prevent address drift.

Website Utilities

  • Inject tracking codes in Header/Footer (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, etc.).
  • Content Protection: Disable right-click, text selection, and drag-and-drop.
  • Maintenance Mode: Display a professional “under construction” page to visitors.
  • Custom Login Logo: Replace the WordPress logo on the login screen with your own brand.

Disk Space Manager

  • Recursively scan your hosting for large files (>50 MB).
  • Auto-categorize files (backups, error logs, large media).
  • Bulk delete to free up disk space instantly.

Floating Contact Buttons

  • Phone Hotline button with animated icon.
  • Zalo chat button (auto-opens Zalo app).
  • Messenger chat button (m.me deep link).
  • Fully responsive floating widget in the corner of your site.

Import / Export Settings

  • Export all Sitevorx settings as a JSON file.
  • Import settings from another site in one click.
  • Reset all settings to factory defaults.

Scheduled Cleanup (WP-Cron)

  • Automatic cleanup: daily, twice daily, or weekly.
  • Clears temp files, auto-drafts, spam, and optimizes database tables.
  • Activity log showing the last 20 cleanup runs.

Maintenance & Update Monitor

  • Track plugins and themes that need updating.
  • Check WordPress core, PHP version, SSL status, and WP_DEBUG.
  • Maintenance health score with actionable recommendations.

Server Info

  • View Web Server, PHP, MySQL, and WordPress versions at a glance.
  • PHP limits: memory, execution time, input vars, upload size.
  • List all loaded PHP extensions.
  • Database size monitoring.

External Services

Google reCAPTCHA (v2 and v3)

Sitevorx can optionally integrate with Google reCAPTCHA (v2 checkbox or v3 invisible / score-based) to protect the WordPress login form. This feature is disabled by default and only works when an administrator explicitly enables it, selects a version, and provides valid Google-issued API keys.

When enabled, the plugin loads the Google reCAPTCHA JavaScript on the login screen and sends the generated verification token to Google’s verification endpoint (https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify) during login validation. For v3, the configurable score threshold (filter sitevorx_recaptcha_v3_score_threshold, default 0.5) is compared against Google’s returned score.

This service is provided by Google:
* Service URL: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/
* Verification endpoint: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify
* Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
* Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

WordPress.org Core Checksums API

The Security Center Kiểm Tra Toàn Diện WordPress Core Integrity check (off by default; runs only when the admin clicks “Kiểm tra”) fetches the official MD5 checksums for the installed WordPress version from WordPress.org so it can flag modified or missing core files.

  • Verification endpoint: https://api.wordpress.org/core/checksums/1.0/
  • Request payload: only the installed WordPress version string (e.g. 6.4.2) and the locale en_US. No site URL, user data, or content is sent.
  • Operated by: WordPress.org
  • Terms of Service: https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/

Highlights

  • All-in-one: Replaces 5-7 single-purpose plugins (SMTP, Security, Optimization, Cleanup, Maintenance).
  • Modern UI: Gradient banners, collapsible sidebar, toast notifications, fully responsive.
  • Secure by design: Nonce verification, input sanitization, CSRF protection, prepared database queries.
  • Lightweight: Modular architecture — only loads what you use. Zero frontend impact. No Composer or NPM required.
  • Localized: Full Vietnamese (vi) translation included via .po/.mo files.

Installation

  1. Upload the sitevorx folder to /wp-content/plugins/, or install the ZIP file via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Navigate to the Sitevorx menu item in your admin sidebar.

FAQ

Does this plugin conflict with WP Mail SMTP?

Yes, both plugins hook into phpmailer_init. We recommend deactivating other SMTP plugins before using Sitevorx’s built-in SMTP module.

Does it detect real IPs behind Cloudflare?

Yes. Sitevorx reads the CF-Connecting-IP header to identify the real visitor IP behind Cloudflare’s proxy.

I forgot my secret login URL. How do I get back in?

Open phpMyAdmin (or any database tool), find the wp_options table, and delete the row where option_name is sitevorx_sec_login_key. Then access /wp-login.php as usual.

Changelog

1.1.0

  • New module: Trung Tâm Bảo Mật (Security Center) — gom các tính năng bảo mật và bổ sung Security Score, Headers, Honeypot, User Enumeration Protection, Login Notification, Core Integrity Checker.
  • New: HTTP Security Headers (X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy) — chỉ áp dụng trên frontend.
  • New: Login Honeypot — chèn hidden field bẫy bot vào form đăng nhập, không ảnh hưởng người dùng thật.
  • New: User Enumeration Protection — chặn ?author=N và REST API /wp/v2/users cho khách.
  • New: Login Notification — gửi email cho admin khi tài khoản manage_options đăng nhập thành công (cooldown 1h/IP).
  • New: WordPress Core Integrity Checker — đối chiếu MD5 các file core với api.wordpress.org/core/checksums/1.0/ để phát hiện file bị sửa đổi hoặc thiếu (chạy theo yêu cầu, đã khai báo trong External Services).
  • UI: trang “Tối ưu & Bảo mật” đổi tên thành “Tối ưu Tốc Độ”; menu sidebar và dashboard có card mới cho Security Center.
  • Compliance: ghi nhận hành động bảo mật thông qua audit log thống nhất (sitevorx_audit_log), không lưu song song nhiều ring buffer.

1.0.11

  • Dashboard: each health issue now has a “” action link that jumps directly to the page where the admin can fix it (Bảo mật, SMTP, Bảo trì, Tiện ích).
  • Dashboard: new detection — DISALLOW_WP_CRON set in wp-config.php. Warns the admin that internal WP-Cron is off and an external cron must be calling wp-cron.php, otherwise scheduled cleanup will not run.
  • Dashboard: new detection — recent SMTP failures. If SMTP logging is on, the dashboard counts non-success entries in the last 24h and links straight to the log tab.
  • Dashboard: new detection — active login lockouts. Shows how many IPs are currently locked, with a one-click jump to the Bảo Mật tab where they can be unlocked.
  • Audit log: diff summary now ignores default-off toggles on first save — only flags fields whose normalized on/off state actually flipped, so the “Ngữ cảnh” column lists just what the admin changed.
  • Hardening: lockout diagnostics SQL query now wraps the LIKE patterns with $wpdb->prepare() + $wpdb->esc_like() to satisfy Plugin Check, even though both patterns are hardcoded.

1.0.10

  • Audit log: the “Ngữ cảnh” column now describes what changed instead of dumping the full toggle state. Saving the security tab now records entries like “Bật Khóa XML-RPC, Tắt reCAPTCHA đăng nhập, Đổi số lần sai tối đa” instead of login_key=off | disable_editor=on | ....
  • Audit log: split “Lưu cấu hình Tối ưu & Bảo mật” into two distinct events — “Lưu cấu hình Tăng tốc Website” (Tăng Tốc tab) and “Lưu cấu hình Bảo mật & Tường lửa” (Bảo Mật tab) — so the timeline is easier to read.
  • Audit log: manual cleanup entries now say which cleanup categories were picked (e.g. “Dọn: bản nháp, bình luận rác — tổng 2 nhóm”) instead of revisions=1 | spam=0 | transients=1 | items=2.
  • Audit log: new public helper sitevorx_audit_summarize_diff() for any module that wants to produce a similar before/after change list.

1.0.9

  • Login lockout: maximum failed attempts and lockout duration are now admin-configurable (3–50 attempts, 5 minutes to 7 days). Defaults preserve previous behavior (5 attempts, 24 hours).
  • Login lockout: new IP allowlist (one IPv4/IPv6 per line) — listed IPs are never counted and never locked, so an administrator on a known IP cannot lock themselves out.
  • Login lockout: “IP đang bị khóa” diagnostics panel under Tối ưu & Bảo mật Bảo Mật & Tường Lửa shows currently locked entries (hash + attempt count + expiry timestamp) with a per-row Unlock button. Unlock action is gated by manage_options + nonce and writes a login_unlock event to the audit log.
  • Audit log: lockouts now write a login_lockout event the moment the threshold is hit, with IP, attempt count, last submitted username, and configured lockout window.
  • Hardening: aligned the audit log’s IP capture with sitevorx_get_client_ip() so Cloudflare’s CF-Connecting-IP is only trusted when the matching CF-Ray header is present (not spoofable from arbitrary clients).
  • i18n: restored Vietnamese diacritics in the reCAPTCHA failure messages and the two reCAPTCHA tab comments that had been mojibake-encoded.

1.0.8

  • Compliance: SMTP log listing now uses $wpdb->prepare() for the LIMIT clause to satisfy automated SQL-injection scanners.
  • Compliance: removed PHP @ error suppression on the malware scanner’s file read; the scanner now checks is_readable() first and still gracefully skips unreadable files.
  • Compliance: clarified External Services disclosure in readme.txt to cover both reCAPTCHA v2 and v3, and to name the api/siteverify verification endpoint explicitly.
  • New: Audit Log submenu (Sitevorx Nhật ký Kiểm toán) recording sensitive admin actions (settings save/reset/import, SMTP test, malware scan, scheduled cleanup change, manual cleanup run, disk file delete, log clear). Ring buffer of the 200 most recent entries, stored in the sitevorx_audit_log option (no new database table).
  • Hardening: factory reset now preserves the audit trail by skipping the audit-log option, so administrators can review what was reset after the fact. Uninstall still drops the option on full removal.
  • Dashboard: health overview now reflects runtime state, not just saved options. New warnings: scheduled cleanup enabled but no next run on cron (silent failure), SMTP mailer selected but missing credentials, reCAPTCHA toggle on but Site/Secret key empty, Maintenance Mode active (visitors blocked), WP_DEBUG still on in production.
  • Dashboard: SMTP and Cron status cards now show a red “Thiếu credential” / “Lỗi lịch” badge when the saved option does not match runtime readiness, and the health score stops counting a broken cron or credentials-less mailer as a passing check.

1.0.7

  • Fixed the Google reCAPTCHA key link so it opens the key creation screen instead of the last-used site analytics page.
  • Updated the reCAPTCHA settings heading to match the available v2/v3 selector.

1.0.6

  • Removed the Security Center module from the admin UI and runtime loader to avoid overlap with the existing Optimizer & Security hardening controls.
  • Disabled the unfinished WAF, 2FA, Security Headers, and Activity Log hooks by no longer loading the Security Center module.

1.0.5

  • Improved: Heartbeat optimization now throttles the API to 60 seconds instead of fully disabling it, preserving autosave and post-locking.
  • Improved: SVG sanitizer now rejects DOCTYPE, ENTITY, SYSTEM, and PUBLIC declarations to defend against XXE attacks; admin-only upload still required.
  • Improved: SMTP “Force From Email” now warns when the sender domain differs from the site domain (SPF/DKIM mismatch hint).
  • Improved: Scheduled cleanup skips OPTIMIZE TABLE on tables larger than 500MB to avoid long table locks on shared hosting.
  • New: reCAPTCHA v3 (invisible, score-based) is now selectable alongside v2; configurable score threshold filter sitevorx_recaptcha_v3_score_threshold (default 0.5).
  • Compliance: Added empty index.php files in /assets, /includes, /languages for directory listing protection.

1.0.4

  • Fixed the in-plugin language switch so Vietnamese mode stays Vietnamese even when the WordPress site/user locale is English.

1.0.3

  • Added dashboard, support, and rating links to the WordPress Plugins screen.

1.0.2

  • Second pass on WordPress Plugin Directory automated review feedback:
    • Header/footer script output now goes through wp_kses() with a strict allow-list (sitevorx_kses_tracking_tags()) that permits only tracking / verification markup (script, noscript, meta, link, iframe, img, a, div, span, p). Every attribute value is still run through wp_kses_bad_protocol() which strips javascript:, data: and vbscript: URLs.
    • The “Clear error log” feature now targets the canonical WP_CONTENT_DIR/debug.log location and uses the WordPress WP_Filesystem API. The plugin no longer writes anywhere outside wp-content/.
    • Escaped the secret login URL preview with esc_url( home_url( '/?' . $key ) ).
    • Removed the runtime .po -> .mo translation compiler. The plugin previously regenerated languages/sitevorx-en_US.mo on demand; that wrote to the plugin folder, which is not allowed. The compiled .mo is now shipped pre-built with the plugin and WordPress loads it normally.
    • Removed the runtime machine-translation fallback. The plugin no longer contacts any translation service. The bundled .mo file is now the only source of English strings.
    • Wrapped every remaining dynamic CSS class / inline style ternary (e.g. echo $active ? 'on' : 'off') with esc_attr() across the sidebar, dashboard overview, SMTP/Optimizer/Utilities/Disk Cleaner tab navigation, and server stat cards, so automated scanners can see the escape explicitly.

1.0.1

  • Security hardening per WordPress Plugin Review feedback:
    • Added sanitize_text_field() wrapper around every nonce value passed to wp_verify_nonce().
    • Sanitized $_POST raw script fields (header/footer injection) with a dedicated helper (sitevorx_sanitize_raw_script) before update_option(); save path remains gated by the unfiltered_html capability.
    • Replaced esc_url_raw() with esc_url() for inline CSS output in the custom login logo.
    • Escaped every translated/output string that previously used __() inside echo/printf/sprintf: now wrapped with esc_html__(), esc_html( sprintf(...) ), or the sitevorx_kses_basic() helper (allowlisted <strong>, <a>, <br>, <code>, …).
    • Hardened the JSON import flow with explicit wp_unslash() + wp_check_invalid_utf8() before json_decode(); per-field sanitization was already enforced on every decoded value.
    • Escaped integer counters and dynamic CSS class/style values with (int), esc_attr(), and esc_html() across all admin screens.
    • Sanitized the heavy_files[] array from the disk cleaner with array_map( 'sanitize_text_field', wp_unslash(...) ).

1.0.0

  • Initial public release.
  • Full security audit: nonce verification, capability checks, input sanitization on all forms.
  • Malware scanner for files and database.
  • System optimizer with scheduled WP-Cron cleanup.
  • Maintenance & Update monitor module.
  • Modern Flex/Grid responsive dashboard UI.
  • Complete Vietnamese localization.
  • Dashboard: complete UI redesign — hero banner, storage visualization bars, health progress, feature module cards with status badges, 6-card server info grid.
  • Dashboard: “Xem dung lượng chi tiết” links directly to Detailed Storage tab.
  • Disk Space Manager: two-tab interface — “File Cỡ Lớn (>50 MB)” (scan & delete) and “Dung Lượng Chi Tiết” (WP Content breakdown by plugins/themes/uploads/other + top-10 DB tables + Refresh).
  • Security: added validation — cannot enable “Đổi Đường Dẫn Đăng Nhập” or “Khóa Tự Động Đăng Nhập” without filling required fields; shows error instead of silently reverting.
  • i18n: bundled language files included for English and Vietnamese.
  • i18n: added new translation strings for all new UI elements.
