# LightningByrd

> LightningByrd builds WooCommerce plugins that keep online stores safe, fast, and observable (Pulse, IP Shield, Coupon Fence, Featherweight), and develops custom WordPress, Next.js, and React websites with AI-accelerated engineering. Based in Port Orange, Florida, serving businesses everywhere.

Every plugin ships safe by default (observe/dry-run mode until armed), stores all data on the customer's own site with no SaaS or telemetry, and carries a 60-day money-back guarantee. Phone: (844) 761-2973. Email: info@lightningbyrd.com.

## WooCommerce Plugins
- [Lightningbyrd Pulse ($59/yr)](https://lightningbyrd.com/plugins/pulse): Know the minute your store stops selling. Order-flow anomaly alerts, checkout and Store API health probes, gateway, cron, and mail watchdogs, inside WordPress, no external service.
- [Lightningbyrd IP Shield ($49/yr)](https://lightningbyrd.com/plugins/ip-shield): Ban abusive customer IPs before they burn out your payment gateway, one-click bans from the order screen, automatic velocity bans, and a full audit trail.
- [Lightningbyrd Coupon Fence ($49/yr)](https://lightningbyrd.com/plugins/coupon-fence): A firewall for your coupon codes: stop brute-forcing, try-every-code auto-apply behavior, and first-order abuse, with leak-proof signed influencer links.
- [Lightningbyrd Featherweight (free)](https://lightningbyrd.com/plugins/featherweight): The database janitor that knows what it is looking at. Autoload weight, expired transients, trash and old revisions, plus the background-queue rows core never purges. Works on any WordPress site, sharper on a store. Free.
- [Lightningbyrd Ledger ($59/yr)](https://lightningbyrd.com/plugins/ledger): Reads your server's own access log and shows exactly which visitors, bots and files consumed your hosting bandwidth, in real measured bytes. Read only: it never blocks, throttles or modifies traffic.
- [Lightningbyrd Holdback ($39/yr)](https://lightningbyrd.com/plugins/holdback): Finds unused media, moves it to a private quarantine instead of deleting it, then watches live traffic. The instant anything asks for a quarantined file, it serves it, restores it, and tells you what it got wrong.
- [Lightningbyrd X-Ray ($49/yr)](https://lightningbyrd.com/plugins/xray): Audits every registered WordPress image size by disk cost, tells you who registered each one and whether anything references it, and retires the dead ones reversibly. No API, no account, no credits.
- [Lightningbyrd Molt ($49/yr)](https://lightningbyrd.com/plugins/molt): Tells you which of your plugins will actually break on the next PHP version, and which are just making noise, using evidence from your own running site.
- [Lightningbyrd Preflight (free plugin, Pro add-on $59/yr)](https://lightningbyrd.com/plugins/preflight): Checks whether your WooCommerce store can actually take an order, before a customer finds out it cannot. A synthetic Sell Test per country, triaged Critical, Warning or Notice. Free.
- [Lightningbyrd Dry Run (free plugin, Pro add-on $49/yr)](https://lightningbyrd.com/plugins/dry-run): Works out that this store is a copy, shows exactly how it decided, and stops the copy reaching a real customer or a real card. Free.
- [Lightningbyrd Songbird ($79/yr)](https://lightningbyrd.com/plugins/songbird): Pick a product. Songbird designs the post on your own server and publishes it straight to your Facebook Page and Instagram, through your own Meta app, with no service in the middle and no per-post metering.
- [The Storm Kit](https://lightningbyrd.com/plugins): Every paid WooCommerce plugin: the full perimeter for one store, and the megaphone on top of it. $189/yr, save $155 vs. buying separately. Includes every WooCommerce plugin shipped while the license is active.
- [The Nest Kit](https://lightningbyrd.com/plugins): Every paid WordPress plugin, for the people who maintain the site rather than sell through it. $129/yr, save $67 vs. buying separately. Includes every WordPress plugin shipped while the license is active.
- [Pick Any 3 ($99/yr)](https://lightningbyrd.com/plugins): Any three paid plugins, your choice, one license. Save $38 to $98 vs. buying separately, depending on your picks.
