Site Pulse — WordPress Health Checkup for Business Owners
A one-click WordPress security checkup built for non-technical small business owners, telling them in plain English whether their site is exposed to the latest known vulnerabilities and exactly what to do next.
Small business owners running a WordPress site (restaurants, gyms, local services, ecommerce) who don't have a developer on call
- Plain-English vulnerability reports that flag known issues (like wp2shell) with severity and a 'do this now' action list
- Weekly automated scans with email/SMS alerts when a new critical CVE affects your installed plugin versions
- One-click 'fix request' that generates a copy-paste ticket the owner can send to their freelancer or hosting provider
