This security plugin is designed for website administrators who need to control access to specific files and directories on their server. It helps prevent unauthorized users, bots, and automated scanners from viewing or downloading sensitive content, thereby enhancing site security and reducing unwanted server requests.

• File and Directory Protection: Blocks direct access to specific files (like configuration files or logs) and folders, preventing them from being viewed or downloaded via a web browser.
• Access Control via .htaccess: Uses server-level configuration (like Apache's .htaccess file) to enforce access rules, providing a strong layer of security that works before your site's main application loads.
• Reduces Server Load: Limits requests to restricted areas, which can help conserve server resources by stopping bots and crawlers from hitting blocked paths.
• Simple Configuration: Often involves editing a single text file to define the protected paths, making it a straightforward solution for administrators familiar with server configuration.
• Prevents Information Disclosure: Helps stop accidental exposure of backup files, installation directories, or other sensitive system files that should not be publicly accessible.
