What Is WP Vanguard?

WordPress Security, Simplified

WP Vanguard is a complete security platform built specifically for WordPress sites. It scans for malware, monitors your uptime, SSL, domain, blacklist status, and performance — then helps you fix what it finds.

We built WP Vanguard because most WordPress site owners don't have the tools or expertise to detect problems early. By the time they notice something is wrong, the damage is already done: Google warnings, blacklisted email, lost traffic, stolen customer data.

Who It's For

• Site owners who want to know if their WordPress site is compromised
• Freelancers and agencies managing multiple client sites
• Hosting providers who need automated scanning for their customer base
• WooCommerce store owners who handle sensitive customer data
• Anyone who's been hacked and needs fast, professional cleanup

What Problems It Solves

Detection. Most malware hides in files you'd never think to check. WP Vanguard's scanner checks against 38,000+ known CVEs from Wordfence Intelligence, Patchstack, WPScan, and WPVulnerability.net. Deep scans examine every file on your server for malware signatures, backdoors, and database injections.

Monitoring. Add a site once and WP Vanguard watches it continuously — uptime every 5 minutes, SSL and domain expiry daily, Google Safe Browsing blacklist daily, and PageSpeed performance weekly. You get emailed the moment something needs attention. See Site Monitoring for full details.

Understanding. A scan is useless if you can't read the results. WP Vanguard gives you a clear report with severity levels, affected files, and AI-powered explanations that tell you exactly what each finding means and how to fix it. No security jargon, no guesswork.

Cleanup. If your site is infected, our team removes the malware, restores core files, hardens your configuration, and verifies the site is clean. The whole process takes under 24 hours.

How It Works (Quick Overview)

1. Run a free surface scan from the homepage — no account needed
2. Create a free account and add your site — monitoring starts immediately
3. For deeper analysis, provide SSH access and run a deep scan
4. Review your scan report with detailed findings
5. If infected, request a professional cleanup for $49

Your first deep scan and first cleanup are both free. All monitoring features are always free. No subscriptions, no recurring charges.

Partner API for Agencies and Hosting

If you manage multiple WordPress sites, the Partner API lets you integrate WP Vanguard scanning into your own platform. Trigger scans via REST API, receive webhook notifications, and white-label the reports with your own branding. Plans start at $0/mo for the free tier.

Open and Transparent

We believe security tools should be straightforward. There are no hidden fees, no upsells, no mandatory subscriptions. You scan when you want to, and you pay per use. Every scan generates a downloadable PDF report you can share with your team or clients.
