WordPress security tests

These tests will help you find out if your website is GDPR compliant.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#202020″ thickness=”1″ up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]The Hacker Target test performs a passive scan to see what can be easily detected. If you see the version number, plugins or theme listed, your User IDs (login names) and/or accessible directories, you should consider securing your website.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#202020″ thickness=”1″ up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]

These tests form a large part of ensuring GDPR compliance.

Please bear in mind that an SSL certificate on its own is no indication of how secure your website is. The above tests will help you discover any obvious security issues.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

WordPress Performance tests

Faster websites attract more visitors and convert more customers.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#202020″ thickness=”1″ up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]GTMetrix uses multiple criteria to score your website. It provides an excellent overview of performance. For more accurate results sign-up, it is free, and set the location closest to you. I use London in my tests for UK sites.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#202020″ thickness=”1″ up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#202020″ thickness=”1″ up=”20″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]My excellent GTMetrix results have been achieved by using one of the most popular WordPress themes and hosting platforms. It would be quite possible to improve on load speed, which averages out at around 2 seconds. However, in doing so I would not be able to provide you with a fair illustration of what is potentially achievable with your own website at a realistic cost.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#202020″ thickness=”1″ up=”20″ down=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
