GuardingWP is an external scanner. You enter a URL, it fetches your site's headers and HTML from the outside, probes a set of known WordPress endpoints, and checks your installed plugins against a CVE database. Nothing is installed on your server.
What it's good for: a quick, no-commitment health check. You can scan any WordPress site you own or manage in under 10 seconds without touching the server. It tells you what's currently exposed โ version fingerprints, misconfigured headers, XML-RPC, weak login configuration, vulnerable plugins.
What it doesn't do: it can't detect malware that's already on your server, block live attacks, or monitor your site over time (unless you're on the Pro plan with weekly automated scans).
Use it when: you want to know where your site stands right now, you're auditing a client site before taking it on, or you've just made security changes and want to verify they worked.

GuardingWP combines automated security scanning with plain-English fix instructions and an optional done-for-you fix service โ all in one place. You don't just get a list of problems; you get told exactly how to fix them, or we fix it for you.
GuardingWP's answer
Most WordPress security tools are bloated plugins that slow your site down or require ongoing subscriptions just to see basic results. GuardingWP is lightweight, requires no plugin install, and gives you a full security report from a simple URL scan โ no technical knowledge needed.
GuardingWP's answer
WordPress site owners who aren't developers โ small business owners, freelancers, bloggers, and agencies managing client sites who want to know their site is secure without hiring a security specialist.
GuardingWP's answer
While building and maintaining WordPress sites for clients, I kept finding the same security issues over and over โ misconfigured headers, exposed login pages, outdated plugins. I built GuardingWP to make it easy for any site owner to catch these problems before they become breaches.
