Frequently asked questions.
🔍 What is CyberPulse?
CyberPulse (also written as Cyber Pulse) is a powerful security firewall for WordPress that protects your site from bots, scanners, and brute force attacks in real time.
🌍 How does IP blocking work?
CyberPulse automatically detects visitor IP addresses, checks them against known malicious IP databases, and blocks suspicious IPs or entire /24 subnets permanently. You can also manually block IPs, subnets (CIDR), and whitelist trusted IP addresses.
🔍 How does bot detection work?
CyberPulse analyzes 11 parameters of every request: User-Agent, HTTP headers, Accept-Language, Referer, browser headers (Sec-Fetch-*), and more. Suspicious requests are blocked automatically with temporary or permanent IP bans.
⚡ Does it slow down my site?
No. CyberPulse is designed to be lightweight. All checks use efficient caching, and logs are stored in files — not in the database. It works smoothly with high-traffic sites.
🔗 Is it compatible with caching and CDN services?
Yes. Cyber Pulse works with WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, Cloudflare, and other CDN and caching solutions. Real visitor IPs are correctly detected via proxy headers.
🔎 Will it block search engines?
No. Google, Bing, Yandex, Baidu, DuckDuckGo, and other legitimate search bots are automatically detected and whitelisted by IP subnet and User-Agent signature.
✅ Can I whitelist my IP or specific services?
Yes. You can whitelist IPs, subnets (CIDR), hostnames, User-Agent patterns, and specific URL paths. Administrators are automatically whitelisted on login.
🔐 How does brute force protection work?
When failed login attempts exceed the limit (default: 5 attempts in 15 minutes), the entire /24 subnet is permanently blocked. No temporary bans — attackers go straight to permanent block.
🤖 Does it protect against AI scraping?
Yes. Cyber Pulse blocks known AI training bots: GPTBot (OpenAI), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), PerplexityBot, CCBot (Common Crawl), and others. AI scrapers are detected by User-Agent and IP signatures. For maximum performance, you can optionally enable .htaccess protection to block them before PHP even loads.
⭐ How is this different from other security plugins?
CyberPulse offers AI scraping protection, 10 languages out of the box, a real-time dashboard with hourly attack histogram, and a clean interface with no ads or upsells. It’s lightweight and stores logs in files — not in your database.
🛡️ Is there a PRO version?
Yes. PRO adds 2FA authentication, geo-blocking (195 countries), DDoS protection, malware scanner, content copy protection, file integrity monitoring, and more. Learn more
