Security starts with prevention. Instead of relying only on reactive tools like firewalls and malware scanners, we take a proactive approach by examining your website’s software stack for weaknesses before they can be exploited.

Our team runs regular reviews of WordPress plugins, themes, and integrations to catch vulnerabilities early. By addressing issues before they become threats, we help protect your website from costly downtime, compromised data, and potential loss of trust.

Security starts with prevention, not just firewalls and malware scanners. In fact, 74% of organisations suffered breaches due to insecure code, underscoring the need to act early rather than reacting later.

Staying ahead of hackers means your business avoids disruption and can operate with confidence in its digital foundations.

Hands-On Collaboration

We don’t just find problems , we help solve them at the source. When our team identifies a vulnerability, we document it with precision and provide actionable details that developers can use to release a fix. We then work directly with plugin developers to confirm, diagnose, and resolve the issue quickly.

According to a Verisign “State of the Internet” report, 52% of all WordPress vulnerabilities are due to out-of-date plugins. This means that more than half of security flaws in WordPress stem from outdated plugin software.

This collaborative approach ensures bugs are addressed faster while strengthening the entire WordPress ecosystem. It’s more than protection for your business; it’s contributing to the stability of the wider community.

The result?

Quicker fixes and lasting improvements for your website and others.

FAQs

Yes, WordPress is secure when it’s set up, updated, and maintained properly. The core software is regularly audited by security experts worldwide. Most vulnerabilities come from outdated plugins, themes, or poor hosting practices. With proactive monitoring, timely updates, and expert care, WordPress can be as secure as any other major platform.

Yes. WordPress includes built-in security features such as user role management, password protection, and automatic security updates. However, it relies on site owners to keep plugins, themes, and hosting environments secure. For stronger protection, most businesses add extra layers like firewalls, malware scanning, and professional monitoring.

You can secure your WordPress site by:

  • Keeping WordPress, plugins, and themes updated
  • Using strong, unique passwords and two-factor authentication
  • Choosing a reliable hosting provider with security monitoring
  • Installing a firewall and malware scanner
  • Limiting user access and roles
  • Backing up your site regularly

With these steps, plus ongoing monitoring, your site stays protected against most common threats.

The most common WordPress security issues come from outdated plugins, weak passwords, and poor hosting setups.

Typical risks include:

  • Plugin and theme vulnerabilities
  • Brute-force login attacks
  • Malware and SQL injection
  • Cross-site scripting (XSS)
  • Unsecured hosting environments


These risks are not from WordPress itself, but from how it’s maintained. With regular updates, strong security practices, and professional monitoring, most threats can be prevented.

At Pixelbird, we stop issues before they start by:

  • Proactively monitoring your site 24/7 for vulnerabilities
  • Applying updates on time for WordPress core, plugins, and themes
  • Hardening logins with two-factor authentication and brute-force protection
  • Running malware scans and firewalls to block threats in real time
  • Backing up your site daily so you’re never at risk of losing data
  • Working directly with plugin developers when we spot security flaws


This proactive approach means your website stays secure, reliable, and trusted, without you lifting a finger.

The most common WordPress security mistakes are:

  • Not updating plugins, themes, or WordPress core
  • Using weak or reused passwords
  • Skipping backups and recovery planning
  • Installing poorly coded or unverified plugins
  • Relying only on basic hosting security

Avoiding these mistakes, and using a managed care plan like Pixelbird’s, keeps your website safe, reliable, and worry-free.

Yes, WordPress websites can get hacked, but it’s rarely the core software. Most hacks happen because of outdated plugins, weak passwords, or poor hosting security. With proactive monitoring, timely updates, and strong protection measures, a WordPress site can be just as secure as any other platform.

You can check for malware on a WordPress site by:

  • Running a malware scan with a trusted security plugin
  • Checking for unusual files or code in your WordPress directories
  • Monitoring website speed and performance for unexplained slowdowns
  • Reviewing user accounts for suspicious logins or changes
  • Scanning with your hosting provider’s security tools


For complete peace of mind, Pixelbird provides 24/7 malware monitoring and removal as part of our Website Care Plans.

Yes. In most cases, a hacked WordPress website can be fully recovered.

Recovery involves:

  • Identifying and removing malicious code or files
  • Restoring clean backups if available
  • Updating WordPress, plugins, and themes to patch vulnerabilities
  • Reinforcing security with firewalls, scans, and login protection


At Pixelbird, we don’t just recover hacked sites, we harden them against future attacks, so you don’t face the same risk again.

To fix a hacked WordPress site:

  • Take the site offline to stop further damage.
  • Scan for malware using a trusted security tool.
  • Remove malicious files or code from the server.
  • Restore a clean backup if available.
  • Update WordPress, plugins, and themes to close security gaps.
  • Change all passwords and user roles to secure access.
  • Add firewall protection and monitoring to prevent repeat attacks.


Pixelbird’s care team handles this process end-to-end, cleaning your site and hardening it against future threats.

The WordPress vulnerable plugins list is a regularly updated record of plugins with known security flaws. These plugins may expose websites to hacks, malware, or data leaks if not patched or replaced.

To stay safe, site owners should:

  • Monitor official WordPress vulnerability databases (like WPScan)
  • Update plugins immediately when patches are released
  • Remove abandoned or unsupported plugins
  • Use a care service that tracks vulnerabilities and applies fixes for you


At Pixelbird, we actively monitor vulnerable plugin lists and work directly with developers when issues arise, keeping your website protected without you needing to track every update

A vulnerability database is a central resource that tracks known security flaws in software, plugins, and systems. It lists details such as severity, affected versions, and available fixes.

For WordPress, common vulnerability databases include:

  • WPScan Vulnerability Database – focused on WordPress plugins, themes, and core
  • NVD (National Vulnerability Database) – a global catalog of software vulnerabilities
  • CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) – the standard naming system for security flaws


At Pixelbird, we monitor these databases daily and act quickly to patch risks, giving your business protection before issues turn into attacks.

The four main types of security vulnerabilities are:

  1. Network vulnerabilities – flaws in firewalls, routers, or network design
  2. Operating system vulnerabilities – weaknesses in Windows, Linux, or server software
  3. Application vulnerabilities – issues in plugins, themes, or custom code
  4. Human vulnerabilities – risks from weak passwords, phishing, or poor user practices


Pixelbird addresses all four by combining proactive monitoring, secure hosting, and education, so your business stays protected from every angle.

The five key steps of vulnerability management are:

  1. Identify – scan systems and plugins for potential vulnerabilities
  2. Evaluate – assess risk based on severity and impact
  3. Prioritise – rank issues so the most critical are fixed first
  4. Remediate – apply patches, updates, or configuration changes
  5. Report & Monitor – document actions and continuously monitor for new threats

At Pixelbird, we follow this cycle to keep WordPress sites secure, spotting risks early, fixing them fast, and preventing repeat issues.
