About WP Vanguard

Built by people who clean hacked WordPress sites every day

WP Vanguard is a complete WordPress security platform built by developers who clean hacked WordPress sites every day.

Why We Built This

Most WordPress site owners don't know they're running vulnerable plugins, have no idea when their site goes down, and only find out they're infected after Google flags them. We built WP Vanguard to change that — giving every site owner continuous visibility into their site's security and uptime, starting with a free instant scan.
