Free Website Check
Is your website being looked after?
Ten seconds to see what your site runs on, who hosts it, and anything that needs attention, from outdated software to signs of a hack.
Think you've been hacked?
- Leave the files alone, so there's a trail to clean up.
- Tell your hosting company today.
- Change your hosting, website and email passwords.
Then run the check and ask for a free review.
What your web person should handle
- Monthly updates, with a backup first
- PHP on version 8.3 or newer
- Backups kept off the website's server
- Watching for downtime and hacks
- Domain and certificate renewals
- Accounts in your name, with your login
Questions.
Is it safe to run this on my site?
Yes. It reads the same public pages any visitor sees, with a handful of normal requests. It doesn't log in or try to break anything.
Does a clean result mean my site is secure?
It means we didn't see a problem from the outside, which is good news. No outside check can promise more than that.
Do I need a new website to fix what it finds?
Almost never. Most of what the check flags is fixed with updates, a supported PHP version and someone keeping an eye on things. A rebuild only makes sense when the site no longer fits your business.
What do you do with the website I enter?
We keep a record of sites checked to improve the tool, and we never contact anyone from it. An email address used to send a report isn't saved.
This check looks at public information only and can't guarantee a website is secure.
