Fullworks Security Scanner

Сүрөттөө

This plugin is your website’s security sentinel, keeping an eye on potential threats without making it sound too techy. It checks your WordPress core, themes, and plugins to find any weak spots. If it spots something amiss, you’ll get a friendly email alert to let you know there’s something worth looking at.

This clever tool relies on a powerful database to get its info, helping it keep an eye out for common WordPress vulnerabilities.

But it’s not just about vulnerabilities. The plugin also keeps an eye on abandoned plugins and themes, which can be a backdoor for trouble. With this plugin, you can easily keep your website secure and reduce the risk of security breaches.

The report page gives you the power to decide what to do next. If it finds something, you can choose to ignore it, especially if you have an old theme you love but it’s no longer getting updates. You can also give a thumbs-up to plugins or themes you know are safe.

Plus, the report gives you a quick peek at what’s changed with plugins that have updates available. This helps you decide if those updates are worth it.

If you’re more of a command-line person, you can run a security audit with the command wp fullworks-scanner. It won’t send you an email, but it’ll tell you what it found right there in your console.

In a nutshell, this handy WordPress security tool does the heavy lifting, making sure your site stays safe and sound. It’s like having a watchful eye on your website without all the jargo
