FAQ

Questions before you install anything

Ask us anything, a person replies.

Shield is visitor risk detection for your own website. Add one script tag, the npm package, the WordPress plugin, the Shopify app or a Cloudflare connection, and every visit and form submit is recorded with a risk score, the network reasons behind it (VPN, proxy, Tor, hosting, malicious IP, IP changes within the session) and what your page did about it. It is a Free Preview: 10,000 recorded visits and form submits per site per day, every feature, no credit card, no trial clock and no paid plan. If anything free ever changes you get at least 90 days' notice.

By default, nothing but record it. On a form you configure, Shield can slow the submit down, ask for a Cloudflare Turnstile challenge, block the submit or redirect. On a Cloudflare-connected hostname it can report traffic and apply the access rules you set. It never acts on a form you have not configured, and if a decision does not arrive the form submits as normal.

No. A score summarises network signals. A VPN, a hosting network or a changing IP are common for privacy-conscious and corporate users too. Shield shows the reasons so you can decide; it does not pass judgement on a person. Where no IP intelligence was available the status is unknown, which should be treated as unknown, never as safe.

Shield scores the network a visit comes from, not the device, and does no device fingerprinting. It never collects passwords, card details or the contents of form fields. How much browser and session context is sent depends on the privacy mode you choose (Strict, Balanced or Advanced); the specifics are in the data collection and privacy mode docs, and the SDK source is public.

Create a free account, add your site, and pick the route that matches how your site is run: one script tag or the npm package for any website, a Google Tag Manager tag, the WordPress plugin, the Shopify app, or a Cloudflare connection that needs no code. Most installs take about five minutes, and the first visit usually shows up in the dashboard within minutes, with its explanation.
