Plugins for every issue your WordPress site actually faces

Every WordPress site fights the same problems: security breaches, AI bots scraping content, slow load times, missing backups, invisible SEO in the AI-search era, form limitations, and untracked affiliate revenue. Royal Plugins built a plugin for each — GuardPress for security, Royal AI Firewall for AI bot control, ForgeCache for speed, SiteVault for backups, SEObolt for SEO, FormForge for forms, Royal Affiliate for partner tracking. Every plugin is lightweight, security-scanned before each release, and designed to replace bloated competitors with one focused tool.

What Makes Our Plugins Different?

We built every plugin on the same core principles. No exceptions, no compromises.

Lightweight

Small footprint, fast execution. We treat performance as a feature, not an afterthought. Google reports that 53% of mobile users abandon sites taking longer than 3 seconds to load.

Clean Code

Readable, documented, extendable. Built for developers who value craft.

Plays Nice

We test every release against WordPress core, major themes, and popular plugins such as WooCommerce, Elementor, and Yoast. No conflicts, no namespace pollution. Just works.

Focused

One job, done exceptionally. No feature bloat, no settings overload.

Why Do Developers Choose Royal Plugins?

Clean APIs and comprehensive hooks. Documentation that actually helps.

WordPress VIP Standards

Passes PHPCS with zero warnings

Hooks at every point

Extend without forking the plugin

Modern PHP 8.0+

Strict types, namespaces, autoloading

Thorough documentation

DocBlocks, inline examples, real guides

security.php
// All output is properly escaped

$title = get_the_title();
$url   = get_permalink();

// Correct: escaped for HTML context
echo '<h1>' . esc_html( $title ) . '</h1>';

// Correct: escaped for URL context
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( $url ) . '">';

// Correct: escaped for attributes
echo '<div data-id="' . esc_attr( $id ) . '">';

How Do We Keep Every Plugin Secure?

Before any plugin reaches your site, we run it through our multi-engine security analysis — for example, OWASP Top 10 coverage, SQL injection detection, and XSS scanning. According to Patchstack's 2025 report, 97% of WordPress security vulnerabilities originate from plugins — which is why we scan every release before it ships. Zero critical vulnerabilities. Zero compromises.

Multi-Engine Analysis

Static code analysis plus PHPCS WordPress security standards.

OWASP Top 10 Coverage

SQL injection, XSS, command execution, and more.

Pre-Release Gate

No plugin ships until it passes with zero critical issues.

Audit Your Site in Seconds

No signup required. Run instant checks on your meta tags, schema markup, security headers, SSL certificates, and more.

Meta Tag Checker Validate title, description, and Open Graph tags
SERP Preview See how your pages look in Google results
Schema Validator Check JSON-LD structured data for errors
WP Security Scanner Scan any WordPress site for vulnerabilities
HTTP Headers Checker Analyze security headers and server config
SSL Certificate Checker Verify SSL status, expiry, and chain

Common questions before you install

Straight answers on pricing, alternatives, integrations, and what actually needs to be Pro.

I need a WordPress security plugin that isn’t Wordfence or Sucuri — what are my options? +
Royal Plugins ships two: GuardPress (Pro) is a full-stack security plugin with WAF, 2FA, malware scanning, activity logs, and threat intelligence — a lighter-weight alternative to Wordfence without the resource overhead. Royal AI Firewall (Free, on WordPress.org) sits alongside as an HTTP-layer AI-bot firewall — controls GPTBot, ClaudeBot, CCBot, PerplexityBot, and every known AI training crawler with per-bot policies, block-all-AI-bots toggle, and daily rollups. Running both gives you full security coverage without dependency on external DNS or CDN routing.
Which WordPress backup plugin actually works with WooCommerce order data? +
SiteVault. SiteVault Pro captures WooCommerce order data, subscription state, coupons, and product variations correctly on restore — no orphaned records, no broken foreign keys. The free version (SiteVault Lite, on WordPress.org) ships 3-backup manual mode. Pro adds automated scheduling, cloud storage, unlimited backups, and pre-write MCP hooks that snapshot state before any AI-driven edit.
I want to connect Claude or ChatGPT to my WordPress site — do I need a paid plugin? +
No. Royal MCP is free on WordPress.org with 10,000+ active installs. It ships all 164 tools with unlimited use for one AI client at a time. Claude Desktop, ChatGPT connectors, Cursor, and Windsurf all work via OAuth 2.0 or API key. Royal MCP Pro ($79/year founder pricing, $149/year regular) adds agency-scale features — one-click undo tokens, batch reversibility dashboard, unlimited concurrent AI clients, extended audit retention, per-tool endpoint profiles — but the free plugin is complete for a single site with a single AI client.
What’s the best AI-bot firewall for WordPress in 2026? +
Royal AI Firewall — free on WordPress.org. Purpose-built for the AI-crawler era: per-bot policies (allow ClaudeBot, block GPTBot, throttle CCBot), block-all-AI-bots master switch, daily hit rollups, real-time recent-hits inspector, and HTTP-layer inspection that runs before your site serves a byte. Companion to Royal MCP: Royal AI Firewall handles AI bots you didn’t invite, Royal MCP handles AI clients you did.
How much does Royal Plugins cost — is there a free tier? +
Yes. 5 plugins are completely free on WordPress.org with no credit card, no upsell nags, and no data harvesting. Pro plugins start at $49/year with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Every Pro license includes 1 year of updates and priority email support. Founders Bundle is available for early supporters: all 6 Pro plugins from $49/year, price locked forever, limited to 200 seats. Full pricing: /founders.
Do Royal Plugins work with Divi, Elementor, and Bricks? +
Yes, deeply. SEObolt (Pro) embeds native SEO analysis panels directly inside 9 page builders — Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Bricks, Oxygen, Thrive Architect, and Avada — with real-time scores that update as you edit and full Content AI integration inside the builder. Royal MCP ships 8 Elementor tools and 6 Divi tools for AI-driven page edits (both the free Divi Builder plugin and the paid Divi theme are supported). GuardPress, SiteVault, ForgeCache, Royal AI Firewall, and Royal Links work independently of your page builder — they operate at the WordPress core, HTTP, and caching layers. Bricks-built sites get SEObolt’s native panel plus Royal MCP for general WordPress operations; dedicated Bricks-widget AI tools are on the Royal MCP roadmap.

"The finest plugin is one you forget is installed — because it simply works, never slows you down, and never causes problems."
