WordPress Security Test
WordPress infrastructure is strong when set up correctly; however, even a minor configuration flaw can open an unnecessary attack surface. The WordPress Security Test on this page practically and clearly checks your site, making risks visible. The result screen presents not just a "pass/fail" status, but clearly explains why each finding is important and how it can be fixed.
Why should you take a security test?
In many WordPress cases, the problem isn't just common issues like weak passwords, but misconfigured access and missing security headers. Especially areas such as HTTP Security Headers, XML-RPC/REST API, directory listing, wp-login, and file permissions—if unchecked, they can lead to rapid increases in bot attacks, brute-force attempts, and unauthorized access attempts. This test helps you take action by checking these critical points individually.
Main areas checked during the test
- HTTP Security Headers: X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, etc.
- XML-RPC/REST API: Unnecessary open endpoints, access restrictions, and configurations that expand the attack surface.
- Directory Listing: Is "directory listing" open on the server? Can critical folders be viewed externally?
- Sensitive Files: Exposed sensitive files such as backup folders, git/svn directories, error logs.
How should you interpret the results?
With security findings, what matters is not "how many issues were found," but which risk needs to be closed first. For instance, if login attempts have increased, disabling XML-RPC or prioritizing Limit Login Attempts might be key; on corporate servers, security headers and REST API access surface area might be more critical. Therefore, findings should be addressed in an actionable order (Critical, High, Medium).
