Enhance WordPress Security with Disable XML-RPC-API

The Disable XML-RPC-API plugin for WordPress is a security-focused tool designed to protect websites from various online threats. By disabling the XML-RPC functionality, it mitigates risks associated with brute-force attacks and Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerabilities. The plugin offers a range of features, including the ability to disable access to the xmlrpc.php file, manage IP whitelists and blacklists, and remove unnecessary pingback links, all aimed at reducing the attack surface of WordPress sites.

In addition to its core functionality, the plugin allows users to customize settings such as renaming the XML-RPC slug, disabling the JSON REST API, and hiding the WordPress version. These features not only enhance security but also help improve website performance by minimizing CPU usage. With its user-friendly interface and comprehensive options, Disable XML-RPC-API is an essential tool for WordPress site owners looking to bolster their online security.
