Validate Page Hits, Registrations, Logins, Comments, and Transactions

Use the plugin settings to deploy fraud fighting tools on important parts of your WordPress site including all pages or specifically selected pages & posts. Validate page loads, user registrations, logins, and comments by checking if the user is behind a proxy or VPN connection, using an invalid email, or using a disposable email service. Additionally, score transactions through WooCommerce to prevent chargebacks.

Accurately prevent and block low quality connections that are frequently used by abusers and malicious users. Minimize false-positives so your site’s user experience is not negatively impacted.

Block Bots & Non-Human Traffic

Easily filter bots and non-human traffic which may be causing click fraud, fake account, SPAM, or fraudulent orders. IPQS can filter bots in real-time to only allow real human traffic to your site.

5,000 FREE Lookups Per Month

WooCommerce Order Support

IPQualityScore’s plugin optionally supports WooCommerce transactions to block or flag suspicious orders that are likely to result in a chargeback.
