Enhance Your WordPress Security with REST API Control

Turn Off REST API is a free WordPress plugin designed to bolster the security of your website by disabling the JSON REST API for unauthorized users. This tool addresses vulnerabilities that have emerged since WordPress 4.0, specifically targeting potential exploits that hackers may use to extract sensitive information. With this plugin, users can ensure that only authenticated requests can access the REST API, effectively safeguarding their data from unauthorized access.

Upon installation, the plugin automatically returns authentication errors for any attempts to access the REST API endpoints by users who are not logged in. This proactive measure prevents unauthorized requests, thereby enhancing the overall security of the website. Ideal for site administrators looking to protect their content, Turn Off REST API provides a straightforward solution for managing API access and fortifying website defenses.
