About WPSec

WPSec scans a WordPress site from the outside and reports known vulnerabilities in WordPress core, plugins and themes. The scanner is based on WPScan, extended with the service's own checks and a vulnerability database. Reports explain what is wrong and how to fix it without needing security expertise.

A basic scan is free and instant. With an account you can add several sites to one dashboard, schedule daily, weekly or monthly scans, get email alerts and see an attack surface analysis of each plugin. It suits WordPress site owners and agencies looking after several sites.

Strengths

  • Scheduled scans with email alerts for several sites
  • Reports written for non-specialists

Limitations
