External Security Scans.
Straight From Your Browser.
Trusti Radar is an external WordPress security scanner that runs from your own browser IP. No plugin to install on the target site. No account. No data sent to our servers. Add a site, verify ownership once, and run a full scan whenever you need one.
Three Steps From Install to First Scan.
Designed for WordPress professionals who need real answers fast. No API keys, no CLI, no server-side setup.
Add Your Site
Enter the URL of any WordPress site you own or have authorisation to scan. Add as many as you need - your whole client portfolio lives in one dashboard.
Verify Ownership
Upload a small verification file to the server, or add a DNS TXT record. One-time step per site. This confirms you have authorisation before any scan runs.
Run the Scan
One click. Requests go directly from your browser to the target site and a small set of public security databases. Results appear in seconds, sorted by severity.
One Click. The Full Picture.
Every scan runs more than 50 security checks across ten categories. Every finding includes a plain-language explanation, the technical detail, a recommended fix, and a link to an in-depth guide.
Vulnerabilities in Core, Plugins & Themes
Detects exact versions of WordPress core, PHP, every installed plugin and theme, then cross-checks them against a public CVE database. Each finding links to its NVD entry.
HTTP Security Headers
Verifies Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy - presence and correct configuration.
SSL & HTTPS
Confirms HTTPS, forces redirect, catches mixed content, verifies HSTS max-age, checks certificate transparency logs and the HSTS preload list.
Exposed Files & Sensitive Paths
Probes 30+ known-sensitive locations: wp-config backups, database dumps, .env files, .git and .svn artifacts, debug logs, phpMyAdmin, archive files, AWS credentials and more.
Login & Brute Force Security
Detects username enumeration via author archives and the REST API, checks if login errors or the lost-password form leak account existence, and tests a curated weak-password list.
Secret Key Detection
Scans homepage HTML and linked JavaScript for accidentally exposed credentials: Stripe keys, AWS Access Key IDs, Google API keys, GitHub tokens, Slack, SendGrid, Mailgun and PEM private keys.
WordPress REST API Exposure
Flags unauthenticated access to the users endpoint, exposed draft posts, a fully enumerable media library, and publicly readable WooCommerce product data.
DNS & Email Security
CAA records, DNSSEC signing, SPF configuration, reverse-IP neighbours and blacklist checks against Spamhaus, Barracuda, SORBS and SpamCop.
WordPress-Specific Checks
Default /wp-admin/ exposure, xmlrpc.php availability, direct wp-cron.php triggering, uploads directory listing, and RSS feeds that leak author usernames.
Server & Infrastructure
Dangerous HTTP methods (TRACE, PUT, DELETE, CONNECT), open public registration, robots.txt leaks, cloaking vs. Googlebot, hidden iframes and known malicious script patterns.
Who Uses Trusti Radar.
Agencies
Manage security posture across every client site from one place. Rescan any site in one click before handovers, retainers, or after a major update.
Freelancers
Run a pre-handover audit on every project. Turn security into a deliverable - a sharp report of what's fixed and what's left.
Developers & DevOps
Verify hardening from the outside, confirm headers are deployed, and catch regressions after shipping changes to production.
Your Data Never Leaves Your Browser.
Trusti Radar is designed around a strict no-collection policy. Your site list, scan results, and settings are stored locally in Chrome and never leave your device. Uninstalling the extension removes all locally stored data.
What we don't do
- No data is sent to Trusti Security servers - ever
- No analytics, telemetry, or crash reporting
- No account, no API key, no sign-up
- No data sold or transferred to third parties
Only four external endpoints
- Your target site - standard requests to public URLs
- wpvulnerability.net - plugin/theme slugs and versions for CVE data
- hstspreload.org - domain name to check preload status
- crt.sh - domain name to verify SSL certificate validity
Trusti Radar + Trusti Security.
Radar audits your site from the outside - the way an attacker sees it. The Trusti Security plugin protects it from the inside - 2FA, brute force blocking, vulnerability scanning, security headers, and 11 more modules. Use them together for the complete picture.
