BBQ Pro – Lightweight Firewall & Security Plugin

BBQ Pro (Block Bad Queries) is a fast, flexible, and ultra-lightweight WordPress security plugin that acts as a powerful firewall. Developed by Jeff Starr (author of the popular 5G/6G Blacklist), BBQ Pro protects your site from malicious requests, bots, and exploits — all without slowing it down.

Key features of BBQ Pro Plugin:

• Instant Firewall Protection
  Blocks bad bots, malicious requests, SQL injections, XSS attacks, and other common threats right out of the box.

• Zero Configuration Needed
  Just install and activate — protection starts immediately. You can customize rules later if needed.

• Custom Firewall Rules
  Fine-tune your security with your own custom rules for IPs, user agents, request strings, referrers, and more.

• Built for Speed
  BBQ Pro runs completely in the background, adding almost zero load to your server or WordPress admin.

• Header & Request Inspection
  Scans HTTP requests, headers, and query strings to block suspicious behavior before it reaches your site.

• Live Logging (PRO Feature)
  View blocked requests in real-time to monitor attacks and fine-tune your firewall as needed.

• Fully Compatible with Any Theme or Plugin
  BBQ Pro works independently and plays well with caching, security plugins (like Wordfence or iThemes), and hosting setups.
