WordPress Scanning FAQs
Common questions about WordPress security scanning
Do I need to install a plugin?
No, external scanning works without any access to your WordPress installation. The optional plugin adds deeper visibility into installed plugins, themes, and configuration settings without requiring FTP or SSH access.
Does it work with managed WordPress hosts like WP Engine?
Yes, EZWebScan works with any WordPress hosting environment including WP Engine, Kinsta, Flywheel, and self-hosted installations. External scanning requires no host access whatsoever.
How often should I scan?
We recommend weekly scans for production WordPress sites. High-traffic or ecommerce sites benefit from daily scans. You can set up automated scheduled scans on any interval through the dashboard.
Can I scan WordPress Multisite?
Yes, each WordPress Multisite subsite is treated as a separate site and can be scanned individually. This allows you to monitor security across your entire Multisite network from one dashboard.
