As a leading provider of WordPress performance and security solutions, WordZite is excited to announce the launch of a brand new Free WordPress Security Scanner. This easy-to-use AI-powered tool helps website owners identify vulnerabilities before hackers do and also provides a snapshot of your website’s performance and SEO.
Why Build A Free Scanner?
At WordZite, our mission is to make the internet safer for everyone who uses WordPress. With WordPress powering more than 40% of all websites, small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly exposed to cyber threats such as data breaches, malware infections, and more. Even a short downtime can cause significant financial and reputational damage to a small business.Our new scanner makes cybersecurity accessible for everyone, even for those without technical experience. This free tool gives marketing teams, IT staff, and business owners the ability to run a fast, reliable security check in mere seconds so that you can take action before problems escalate.
WordZite’s Goal is Collaboration, Not Competition
Our business is built to work with others rather than against them, and that means educating everyone responsible for websites about security. We partner with:
- Marketing professionals and digital marketing agencies who build and manage WordPress websites;
- IT companies, MSPs and cybersecurity firms that need a reliable partner to help secure their client’s infrastructure;
- Internal IT providers that need additional resources to help protect their employer’s assets;
By offering this scanning tool for free, we’re making crucial insights available to anyone looking to create a more secure WordPress environment.
What the Free WordPress Security Scanner Does
This AI-powered audit goes well beyond looking for outdated plugins. It does a comprehensive scan of all publicly available data on your site and provides practical recommendations you can act on immediately, whether you manage your own site, oversee a marketing department, or work as or with a Managed Services Provider (MSP).
How it Works
The free security scanner allows you to enter your website URL and instantly receive a detailed report outlining potential issues across five categories, including:
- Performance & SEO: Tests load speed, compression, and CDN usage, which are all metrics that impact user experience and Google rankings
- Software & Configuration: Ensures your server uses secure encryption (TLS 1.2+), hides version details, and includes essential security headers
- Firewall & Access Control: Verifies whether you have a Web Application Firewall, checks for exposed usernames, and confirms your IP address is protected
- External Reputation: Integrates with Google Safe Browsing and VirusTotal to ensure your site isn’t listed for malware or phishing attacks
- Content & Usability: Scans for missing privacy policies, spam protection, and duplicate text
This scanner doesn’t log into your WordPress dashboard or web host; it is a non-invasive scan that reveals what potential attackers could see from the outside. And white it is limited in scope, it is a great starting-starting point for security awareness. After the scan, you’ll get a free downloadable report with a summary of issues in simple, non-technical language should you need to share the findings with various stakeholders.
Built On WordZite’s Proven Website Security Expertise
This new free tool reflects our commitment to making security accessible and transparent. The report you receive at the end of your scan provides detailed information about potential threats and vulnerabilities, as well as suggesting priority areas for focus. If you’d like to ask questions about your results, we encourage you to schedule a free 15-minute call with one of our experts.
For organizations that need a more detailed consultation, we also offer a comprehensive paid WordPress security audit during which one of our technicians will securely log in to your site to examine your WordPress website, firewall, hosting environment and more. Following the paid audit, we provide a more comprehensive report along with budget estimates for any required remediation work.
