Based on tests from us and our customers, Patchstack does not affect your website’s performance in any significant way. In fact, a test done by one of our users indicated that Patchstack is up to 10x lighter than competing security services, with PHP processing times of around 0.11 milliseconds.

Regular firewalls aren’t effective against vulnerability exploits, because such attacks rely on logic mistakes in your plugins and themes. Patchstack’s real-time protection fills in gaps that other tools miss, so you get specialized protection at the most commonly compromised level.

Reduce the high costs of downtime and hack cleanups. Stay proactive and protect your sites with Patchstack!

No. virtual patches operate as security rules applied on demand. They don’t change the plugin or website code. Instead, they block suspicious activity from tampering with plugins.

Virtual patches are highly targeted security rules. They only activate when they notice suspicious behavior trying to exploit that particular plugin or theme vulnerability. They’re light on website performance, but uncompromising on security.
