 * Been running Wordfence on a couple of my sites for over a year. Free version 
   does a solid job — blocks junk traffic, has a decent scanner, and 2FA works fine.
   Upgraded one site to Premium and the real-time rules help a bit more.
 * Only downside is it can slow things down a little on cheap shared hosting if 
   you don’t tweak the settings. Still one of the better security plugins I’ve used.
   Worth trying.

 * Thanks for your excellent 5-star review of Wordfence, [@smhamed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smhamed/)!
 * We try to make Wordfence as efficient as possible out of the box, as it can be
   installed on a wide range of hosting environments with a variety of resources
   available. We’re pleased that Wordfence Free and Premium features all have been
   working well for your needs.
 * Peter.
