Comprehensive Security Analysis

  • Core: Checks the version of your WordPress Core against known vulnerabilities, ensuring you’re always aware of potential risks.
  • Plugin: Evaluates all your installed plugins, including those from the official repository, external sources, or premium ones, for any security weaknesses.
  • Theme: Evaluates all your installed themes, including those from the official repository, external sources, or premium ones, for any security weaknesses.
  • PHP: Analyzes your server’s PHP version, detecting vulnerabilities specific to your PHP setup. This is crucial as outdated or unsupported PHP versions can significantly increase security risks.

It informs you about the nature of the vulnerability and provides guidance, such as updating to a newer version or addressing issues with unsupported or unpatched plugins/themes.
