See exactly what a hacker sees

We look at your website from the outside, the same way an attacker would — and show you what's exposed before they find it.

  • Leaked files and passwords
  • Out-of-date software with known weaknesses
  • Missing protection against fake emails from your domain

The problems that actually get small businesses hacked

We run 47 individual checks. These are the ones that matter most.

Critical

The PHP2Shell flaw

A newly-discovered weakness that lets hackers take over websites running out-of-date PHP. We check if yours is patched.

Critical

Leaked passwords and keys

Hidden files left on your site can expose your database password to anyone who guesses the address.

Critical

Forgotten subdomains

An old address pointing at a service you no longer use can be claimed by an attacker and used against you.

High

Expired security certificate

Visitors see a scary "not secure" warning and leave. Trust gone in a second.

High

Out-of-date software

Old versions of WordPress, plugins and servers with publicly-known weaknesses.

Medium

Fake emails from your name

Without the right settings, anyone can send emails that look like they came from your business.

Honest about what we can see

We'd rather tell you straight than overpromise. An outside check finds what's visible from the internet — and nothing else.

What we check

  • Security settings and protections on your pages
  • Exposed files, backups and debug pages
  • Your security certificate
  • Out-of-date software with known weaknesses
  • Protection against fake emails
  • With verification: subdomains, open ports, leaked secrets

What we can't check

  • Problems behind a login that only your customers can reach
  • Hidden server bugs that give nothing away from outside
  • Anything on a private network

We never say your site has "no problems". We tell you what we checked, what we found, and what we couldn't test.

Free to check. Fair to protect.

Common questions

Is it really free?
Yes. Checking any website is free with no sign-up. Verifying your own domain for the deeper check is free too. You only pay if you want us to keep checking every week.
Is it safe? Will it break my website?
Completely safe. The free check only looks at your site the way a normal visitor's browser would — it never changes anything. The deeper check only runs on domains you've proven you own.
I don't know anything about security. Is this for me?
That's exactly who it's for. Every result is written in plain English with a clear fix. If you'd rather not do the fixes yourself, you can hand the report to your web developer — or to us.
What's the PHP2Shell thing I keep hearing about?
A serious weakness found in October 2026 in the software behind most websites. If your site isn't updated, a hacker could take control of it. We check whether yours is patched and tell you what to do if it isn't.
How is the grade worked out?
Each problem we find lowers your score depending on how serious it is, giving an A to F grade. Any single critical problem means an F — because one open door is enough.

Find out where you stand. It takes 90 seconds.

Free, safe, and written for people who run a business — not a security team.
