Scope of the check
What we check in the WordPress security check
We look at your website the way an attacker would – solely with the aim of closing vulnerabilities before anyone exploits them.
Versions and updates
Is WordPress up to date? Which plugins and themes are publicly identifiable – and are there known security vulnerabilities for them?
Login and users
Is the login page protected against brute-force attacks? Can usernames be read from the outside?
Server and configuration
Security headers, directory listings, detectable PHP version, and publicly accessible configuration or backup files.
SSL and redirects
Valid certificate, clean HTTPS redirect and no insecurely embedded content (mixed content).
Malware and blocklists
Anomalies in the source code, hidden redirects and entries on known blocklists.
Clear recommendations
For every finding, we explain in plain terms how critical it is and what you can do about it.
Background
Why a regular WordPress security check makes sense
WordPress itself is considered secure – most attacks target extensions. New vulnerabilities in plugins and themes are published all the time, and automated bots scan the internet specifically for websites still running the affected versions.
A hack often goes unnoticed as long as the website looks normal. That makes it all the more important to know about weaknesses before they are exploited. You can read background information in our articles Why most WordPress hacks run through outdated plugins and The most common security vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins.
A check is a snapshot
The security check shows the state of your website on the day of the check. The very next plugin update can close a vulnerability – or open a new one. Your website is only permanently protected with regular updates, security scans and external backups, as provided by our WordPress maintenance. You can find more on the topic on our WordPress security page.

Comparison
One-off check or ongoing protection?
The free security check shows once where your website stands today: outdated plugins, missing updates, SSL and login protection. But security is not a state, it is an ongoing process, because new vulnerabilities become known every week. WordPress maintenance makes sure your website is still secure tomorrow.
