- Supports most web servers (Apache, NGINX, IIS).
- Security:
- Supports HTTPS out of the box.
- All CSS and JS libraries include Subresource Integrity (SRI) tags. This prevents any unauthorized changes to the libraries being loaded.
- Encourages you to pick a good custom login URL (in Settings -> Security), as it prevents brute force attacks. Search engines don’t index/find your login URL, as it always returns a 404 status.
- The admin password is hashed using PHP’s password_hash and password_verify functions.
- WonderCMS includes CSRF verification tokens and hash_equals function to prevent timing attacks.
- Your website is completely independent and detached from WonderCMS servers. All updates are pushed through GitHub.
- GDPR compliant: WonderCMS uses only 1 session state cookie, which defines a state between a logged in and a logged out user.
- Last 5 logged in IPs are saved.
- Admin is logged out of all devices after password is changed.
