Other plugins send you alerts. Alden fixes the problem.

Alden installs as a WordPress plugin connected to a cloud intelligence platform. It operates a five-layer security stack covering database security, server configuration, file system integrity, application-level protection, and AI-powered cloud intelligence. It monitors threats 24/7, removes malware surgically without breaking your site, safely updates plugins using fleet intelligence data, and hardens 40 security settings automatically.

No. Before any update, Alden checks fleet-wide data from all protected sites, creates a full site snapshot, runs the update, then validates with an 18-point post-update checklist including homepage rendering, admin access, REST API, WooCommerce checkout flow, and response time monitoring. If any check fails, the update is rolled back automatically within seconds.

Most security plugins operate at the WordPress application layer only and require manual intervention to fix problems. Alden operates at five layers including server configuration and database security. It performs actions autonomously — removing malware, hardening settings, resolving plugin conflicts, and deploying virtual patches for zero-day vulnerabilities — rather than sending alerts and waiting for you to act.

Alden starts at $9 per month for one WordPress site with full 5-layer security. The Professional plan covers 3 sites for $19/month. Business covers 10 sites for $39/month. The Agency plan covers 50 sites for $149/month and includes SEO Intelligence at no additional cost. All plans include a 14-day free trial.

Yes. Alden includes WooCommerce-specific protections starting at the Business plan. This includes checkout flow validation after updates, payment gateway compatibility checking, product page monitoring, and WooCommerce-specific security rules.

When a plugin vulnerability is publicly disclosed but the developer has not released a fix yet, Alden deploys a WAF rule that blocks the specific exploit pattern without modifying your plugin code. This protects your site during the critical gap between vulnerability disclosure and the official patch.

No. Alden is a paid service with a 14-day free trial. We do not offer a free tier or freemium model. When you sign up, you get full access to every feature in your plan.

SEO Intelligence runs a 47-point SEO audit on your site and autonomously fixes issues including missing alt tags, meta descriptions, schema markup, broken link redirects, image compression, and Open Graph tags. It is available as an add-on for Professional and Business plans, and included free with the Agency plan.

No. Alden does not store, copy, or retain any content, media, customer data, or personal information from your WordPress site. The plugin communicates security metadata only — file hashes, plugin versions, configuration states, and threat signatures. This metadata is used in real time to make security decisions and is never sold, shared, or used for training. Your site content stays on your server at all times.

Instead of a human account manager, your account is managed by Alden — our AI assistant. Alden can answer questions about your security posture, walk you through configuration changes, explain scan results, generate reports, and perform account actions including plan changes and cancellations. Alden is available 24/7 through the dashboard chat and has full context on your sites and security history.
