FAQ

Website Scan FAQ

Common questions about our free website scanning tool.

What does this free website scan check?

Our scanner runs 37+ checks across SEO, security, performance, and WordPress. General checks cover: HTTPS/SSL, server response time, page size, gzip/Brotli compression, title tag, meta description, viewport meta, H1 heading, image alt attributes, Open Graph tags, canonical URL, security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy), cookie security (Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite), robots noindex, favicon, Schema.org structured data, server technology exposure, cache headers, mixed content detection, outdated JavaScript libraries, China Firewall compatibility, URL length, content length, hreflang tags, X-Robots-Tag, robots.txt, llms.txt, XML sitemap, analytics, and staging/debug reference detection. For WordPress sites, we run a full deep audit including: version check, theme & plugin detection, WPScan known CVEs, endpoint security (wp-login.php, xmlrpc.php, wp-cron.php, author enumeration), file exposure (readme.html, license.txt, debug.log, error_log, backup files), directory listing, and information leakage (generator tag, RSD, WLW manifest, oEmbed). We also run a full Google PageSpeed Insights audit showing Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO scores plus Core Web Vitals (FCP, LCP, TBT, CLS) for both mobile and desktop.

Is this website scan really free?

Yes, completely free with no signup required. Enter your URL, hit Scan Now, and get your results in seconds. No email, no credit card, no strings attached.

How is this different from other website scanners?

Most free scanners only check basic SEO or performance. Ours goes deeper — especially for WordPress sites. We probe actual endpoints like xmlrpc.php and wp-cron.php, check for exposed error logs and backup files, detect information leakage signals, and cross-reference your plugins and themes against the WPScan vulnerability database. We also check cookie security attributes, mixed content, and outdated JavaScript libraries that could expose your users to attacks.

How accurate is the scan?

The scan provides a reliable snapshot of your website’s fundamentals. It checks the same core metrics that affect Google rankings and user experience. For a deeper audit covering Core Web Vitals, database queries, and server-level issues, contact us for a full audit.

What score should my website aim for?

Aim for 80 or above. A score of 80–100 means your fundamentals are solid. Below 50 means there are critical issues hurting your SEO and user experience that should be fixed urgently.

What does the WordPress security audit check?

For WordPress sites, we run a dedicated security audit on top of the standard checks. This includes: whether wp-login.php is exposed, if xmlrpc.php is accessible (a common attack vector for brute-force and DDoS amplification), whether wp-cron.php can be triggered publicly, if author enumeration is possible via ?author=1, whether sensitive files like readme.html, license.txt, debug.log, PHP error logs, and backup config files are publicly accessible, directory listing status on core WordPress folders, information leakage signals like generator meta tags and RSD/WLW manifest links, and known security vulnerabilities in your WordPress version, theme, and plugins via the WPScan database.

What are the most critical WordPress security issues to fix first?

If the scan finds any of these, fix them immediately: exposed debug.log or error_log files (they can contain passwords and API keys), publicly accessible wp-config.php backups or .env files (contain database credentials), xmlrpc.php accessible (enables brute-force attacks at scale), and known CVEs in your plugins or theme. After that, address author enumeration, wp-cron.php exposure, and information leakage signals.

Can you help fix the issues found?

Absolutely. We specialise in WordPress optimisation, server hardening, and technical SEO. Most fixes can be completed within 48 hours. WhatsApp us with your scan results and we will give you a free quote.

Does the scan work for any website?

It works for any publicly accessible website — WordPress, Shopify, Wix, custom-built, or any other platform. The URL must start with http:// or https:// and be reachable from our servers. The deep WordPress audit only runs when WordPress is detected.

Will the scan slow down my website?

No. The scan makes a small number of lightweight requests to your website, similar to normal visitors loading your page. For WordPress sites, additional HEAD requests are made to probe specific endpoints — these are read-only and cause no meaningful load.

How often should I scan my website?

We recommend scanning after every major update — plugin updates, theme changes, hosting migrations, or content overhauls. A monthly check is a good habit to catch newly disclosed CVEs, configuration drift, and any files that may have been accidentally exposed.
