Activity Guard – Complete Security, Activity Log & WooCommerce Analytics Tracker

Activity Guard is the only free WordPress plugin that combines a complete activity log, built-in security firewall with scanner, deep WooCommerce analytics, and multi-channel real-time alerts (Slack, Telegram, Email) in a single dashboard – so you can monitor, protect, and recover from threats without juggling multiple plugins.

Most activity log plugins only log events. Most security plugins only block threats. Activity Guard does both – and adds WooCommerce abandoned-cart analytics and a plugin vulnerability scanner that no dedicated activity log competitor includes for free.

Whether you run a WooCommerce store, a multi-author blog, or a client agency, Activity Guard gives you the full picture: who did what, when, from where – and what to do about it.

Why Activity Guard Is Different

Other activity log plugins make you buy a premium plan to get Slack alerts, security features, or WooCommerce tracking. Activity Guard ships all of that – including Telegram notifications, IP firewall with emergency shutdown, plugin vulnerability scanning, and WooCommerce incomplete-order tracker with analytics.

Activity Guard combines all four of these capabilities at once:

• Full WordPress activity log with visual charts
• Advanced security firewall with IP blocking and emergency session shutdown
• WooCommerce analytics including abandoned cart recovery tracking
• Real-time multi-channel alerts via Slack, Telegram, and Email

Complete WordPress Activity Log

Activity Guard logs every meaningful change on your site with IP address, username, timestamp, and change detail – so you always know who changed what, when, and from where.

• User logins, logouts, and failed login attempts
• User registration, role changes, and profile edits
• Page, post, custom post type – create, edit, delete, status changes
• Plugin and theme activations, deactivations, updates, and deletions
• WordPress core settings and configuration changes
• Menu, widget, and sidebar modifications
• Email delivery tracking (email log)
• Form submission tracking (Contact Form 7, SimpleForm, and more)
• Admin settings changes and debug log events
• Cron job scheduling and background process tracking
• Script modification and file change detection
• Visitor traffic monitoring with disable toggle

Visual charts and graphs provide at-a-glance summaries of your audit log – no need to scroll through raw log tables to understand site trends.

Advanced WordPress Security & Firewall

Activity Guard is a proactive security plugin, not just a passive logger. It actively blocks threats and alerts you before damage occurs.

• IP blocking: manual, CIDR range, and conditional rule-based
• Emergency shutdown: instantly force-logout all active sessions
• Cloudflare Turnstile login protection against bots and brute force
• Login rate limiting to stop credential-stuffing attacks
• Bot detection and automatic IP blocking
• Restrict or fully disable XML-RPC access
• Core file integrity scanner – detect unauthorized file changes
• File integrity monitoring across plugins and themes
• Block TOR network access
• Block vulnerability scanner user agents
• HTTP security headers (custom, logged, and enforced)
• WordPress version hiding from public exposure
• 404 error tracking and suspicious HTTP request alerts
• Admin dashboard visitor tracking
• Cron job failure and site downtime monitoring

Emergency Shutdown is a feature unique to Activity Guard: with one click, you can force-logout every logged-in session on your site – ideal when you detect a breach in progress.

Plugin Vulnerability Scanner

Activity Guard scans every installed plugin and theme for known security vulnerabilities before they become a problem – no separate security scanner needed.

• Detect plugins with known CVEs against multiple vulnerability databases
• Flag outdated plugins not compatible with your WordPress version
• Identify abandoned plugins (not updated in over a year)
• Warn about plugins with low install counts or poor ratings
• Cross-reference NVD (National Vulnerability Database), WPVulnerability.net, and the WPAzleen private API

No other free activity log plugin includes a built-in multi-database vulnerability scanner.

WooCommerce Activity Log & Analytics

Activity Guard tracks every event in your WooCommerce store – and goes further with analytics designed specifically for store owners.

• Log all order status changes, payments, refunds, and cancellations
• Stock level changes and low-stock events
• Coupon creation, editing, and usage notifications
• Product edits, pricing changes, and metadata updates
• Billing and shipping address modifications
• Customer registration and account changes
• Shipping status updates in real time
• Incomplete Orders / Abandoned Cart Analytics: track checkout drop-offs, recovery potential, recovery rate, and customer cart interactions to understand where revenue is being lost

WooCommerce incomplete-order analytics (abandoned cart tracking with recovery rate metrics) is included free – no other activity log plugin in the WordPress.org directory provides this at no cost.

Multi-Channel Real-Time Alert System

Receive instant alerts the moment a critical event occurs – across four notification channels:

• Slack: send alerts to any Slack channel or tag specific users and groups using Slack user/group @mentions
• Telegram: receive real-time security and activity alerts in your Telegram chat
• Email: configurable email alerts for any event type
• Admin Dashboard: in-dashboard notification panel

Notification types include:
* Core file change alerts
* Plugin and theme update alerts (with updater username)
* WooCommerce order, payment, and coupon alerts
* Incomplete order follow-up reminders (recover lost sales)
* Product edit, stock change, and shipping update alerts
* Login, registration, and role change alerts
* Page, post, and taxonomy create/update/delete alerts
* Form submission and admin settings change alerts
* Daily review digests and weekly plugin download summaries

You can schedule notifications for specific times and configure exactly which events trigger alerts – giving you full control without alert fatigue.
