 * Hello,
 * I am trying to optimise my wordpress site and found that **I use two security
   plugins** — “**Wordfence**” and “**All In One WP Security**“. I do not remember
   how this happened but it is as it is and I want to ask — **is it OK to keep both
   or** there is no reason to do so and it makes sense to **keep only one of them**?
   And if so — **which one?**
 * Thanks a lot!

 * It’s better to use just one, as they can step on each other in unexpected and
   unpleasant ways. Which is better? That’s up to you.

 * Thanks a lot! i chose Wordfence which they say is “easier to use and set up”.
