It’s tiny because it’s lean. The name does not describe the amount of safety net
that it spread out over your site. It monitors all traffics in and out of your site
but still user friendly. But the part that I really love is the blocklist. Once 
they are in, they can’t get out so my clients’ site protected forever from those
that fall into the list. Not to mention, creator is very responsive. WIN!

### 󠀁[Impressive!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/impressive-195/)󠁿

 [TheRealNani](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nbrodsky/) June 14, 2019

I was impressed by the long list of URLs that were blacklisted. I don’t really know
what I’m going to do with this information but I feel safer having this plug-in 
activated, watching out for malicious hits. It was also very easy to install, and
seems to run very lightly.

The tinyShield is really a wonderful option for securing your website! It is very
easy to install and starts working right away. I wish that I would have had this
