Three steps to a healthier site

1

Connect your site

Install our lightweight connector plugin on your WordPress or Joomla site. It takes about two minutes and requires no technical knowledge.

2

We audit every file

Our engine takes a complete snapshot of your webspace and checks every file against our threat database.

3

Explore with 60+ tools

Dig into your results with 60+ diagnostic tools built specifically for WordPress and Joomla sites.

A real scan, not a surface check

Most "free security scanners" visit your homepage and check for obvious warnings. That catches maybe 5% of real threats. The other 95% are buried in files your visitors never see — deactivated plugins, uploaded scripts, modified core files, and backdoors sitting quietly in your /wp-content/ or /components/ directories.

Our audit connects directly to your server through a lightweight plugin and takes a full snapshot of every file in your webspace. Each file is analysed against our threat database, which has been refined over 12 years and more than a million audits.

  • File-level scanning of your entire webspace, not just public pages
  • Signature matching against known malware families and attack patterns
  • Heuristic analysis to detect obfuscated code and zero-day threats
  • WordPress and Joomla-aware: knows what files should and shouldn't exist
  • Results delivered through an interactive dashboard, not a static report

Built for people who manage websites

Whether you look after one site or hundreds, the audit shows you exactly what state things are in.

Agencies

You manage dozens or hundreds of client sites. A hack on one site can spread across your portfolio. The audit gives you a security baseline for every site, and the dashboard lets your whole team monitor everything from one place.

Freelancers

You handle everything yourself — design, development, hosting, and security. The audit handles the security part so you can focus on the work that actually pays. Run it on a new client's site before you take over and know exactly what you're inheriting.

Site Owners

You run your own WordPress or Joomla site and want to make sure it's clean. Maybe your host flagged something suspicious, or your Google rankings dropped suddenly. The audit tells you exactly what's wrong and where to find it.

The audit is just the starting point

Most security tools hand you a report and leave you to figure out the rest. We give you the tools to actually fix what's wrong. After your audit completes, you get full access to the same dashboard agencies use to manage hundreds of sites.

From that dashboard you can apply updates across every site at once, schedule automated backups, set up real-time alerts for file changes and suspicious logins, and generate branded reports for your clients. If something goes wrong at 3am, you'll know about it before your client does.

Bulk updates

Update WordPress core, Joomla, plugins, and themes across all your sites in one go. No more logging into each site individually.

Real-time alerts

Get notified the moment a file changes, an admin logs in, or a plugin gets deactivated. You set the rules, we watch the sites.

Scheduled backups

Automated backup routines via Akeeba Backup and All-In-One Migration. If a backup fails, you get an alert straight away.

Client reports

White-label activity reports showing what you did, when, and why. Send them to clients automatically or download as HTML.

What our users say

Common questions about the free audit

What does the free site audit check?
The audit takes a complete snapshot of every file in your webspace and runs it against our detection engine. It checks for malware, backdoors, suspect content patterns, outdated software with known vulnerabilities, file integrity issues, and insecure configurations. This is a deep file-level scan — not a surface-level URL check.
How is this different from a website security scanner?
Most online security scanners only check the public-facing pages of your site from the outside. Our audit connects directly to your server and inspects every single file — including hidden files, inactive plugins, and files outside the web root. We find threats that external scanners cannot see.
Do I need a credit card to run the audit?
No. The free audit requires no credit card, no payment details, and no commitment. You sign up, connect your site, and the audit runs automatically. You get full access to the results and our complete toolset.
How long does the audit take?
Setup takes about 2 minutes. Once connected, the first audit typically completes within a few minutes depending on the size of your site. Sites with tens of thousands of files may take a little longer.
Does it work with WordPress and Joomla?
Yes. mySites.guru is the only platform that fully supports both WordPress and Joomla from a single dashboard. The audit engine understands both CMS architectures and knows what files should and should not be present in each.
What happens after the audit?
You get access to the full audit results through our dashboard, which includes 60+ diagnostic tools to investigate any issues found. You can drill into individual files, see suspect content patterns, check software versions, and more. If you need ongoing monitoring, paid plans start from £19.99/month.
Will the audit slow down my website?
No. The audit runs server-side through a lightweight connector plugin. It reads files — it does not modify anything on your site. Your visitors will not notice any difference during or after the scan.
How many audits has mySites.guru completed?
Over 1,000,000 site audits since launching in 2012. The platform has been trusted by agencies, freelancers, and site owners managing everything from a single blog to portfolios of hundreds of sites.
