FAQ

WordPress Security Review FAQ

Common questions before starting security review work.

Can you clean hacked WordPress sites?

We can review symptoms and help with practical cleanup planning, but severe malware recovery may need a dedicated malware removal scope depending on the issue.

Do you review plugins and themes?

Yes. We look for abandoned, unnecessary, risky or outdated plugins/themes and recommend safer cleanup steps.

Do you need WordPress admin access?

Usually yes for a useful review, plus hosting or server access where the risk may involve PHP, database, file permissions or backups.

Can you harden WordPress infrastructure sites?

Yes. WordPress infrastructure sites need extra care around admin access, checkout performance, backups, payment plugins and production change control.

How much does WordPress security review work cost?

WordPress security review work usually starts from $499, depending on site size, urgency and whether remediation is included.
