Alovio Protect

Fatal-error guard for WordPress

A fatal error, and the visitor still gets the page.

Protect catches a fatal error before WordPress finishes booting, finds the extension that caused it, pauses that one, and replays the request. The visitor waits a moment and gets the page instead of a white screen.

02 — The change

Not recovery mode. Not a rollback.

  1. 01
    Recovery mode Emails you a link and leaves the site down
    The visitor waits a moment and gets the page
  2. 02
    Host rollback Restores everything, and loses the orders since
    Pauses one extension; every order stays
  3. 03
    A database switch Useless when the database is what broke
    The pause lives in files — it works anyway

03 — How it works

What happens in the half-second.

  1. 01
    Caught before boot

    The guard runs before WordPress finishes booting, so it sees the fatal before the visitor does.

  2. 02
    Never a database write

    The pause is kept in files, not tables — so the guard still works when the database is the thing that broke.

  3. 03
    Integrity

    Optional. Every core, plugin and theme file compared with the official WordPress.org checksums.

  4. 04
    Malware, scored

    Optional. Each file scored from its token stream rather than matched against a signature list.

  5. 05
    Login hardening

    Optional. Failed sign-ins are rate-limited, and the form stops confirming which usernames exist.

05 — Questions

Before you decide.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Alovio Protect is free, downloaded from this site, and it updates itself from here afterwards — there is no licence key and no Pro tier waiting behind it.

Isn't this WordPress recovery mode?

No. Recovery mode emails you a link and leaves the site down. Protect serves the visitor the page.

Is it a backup or a rollback?

No. Nothing is restored — one extension is paused — so the orders that arrived since your last snapshot stay.

What if the database is what broke?

The guard keeps its state in files, so it still works.
