Vulnerability scan
A vulnerability scan is a regular automated check listing known security weaknesses in servers, sites and applications.
What it finds
Outdated software and plugins, misconfigured servers, open ports and weak encryption settings.
Why regularly
New vulnerabilities are published every month; an old plugin is the most common way WordPress sites are taken over.
Frequently asked questions
Does scanning slow the site?
Properly configured scans do not affect traffic and run off-peak.
