🛡 Full WordPress Security Audit

Think of this as a complete health checkup for your website. I dig deep into every corner of your WordPress installation to find vulnerabilities before hackers do. During a security audit, I scan for security holes, identify outdated plugins and themes that create entry points for attackers, and check user roles and permissions to ensure no one has access they shouldn’t have.

I also examine file permissions, review your database for suspicious entries, look for hidden scripts or backdoors that might have been planted by previous attackers, and check your hosting environment for server-level vulnerabilities. You’ll receive a detailed report explaining exactly what I found, how serious each issue is, and my recommendations for fixing everything in priority order.

🔐 WordPress Hardening & Firewall Setup

Prevention is always better than cleanup. WordPress hardening means locking down your site so tightly that most attacks can’t even get started. I configure server-level protections that work before threats even reach your WordPress installation, harden your wp-config file with security keys and advanced settings most people never touch, and restructure your folder permissions to prevent unauthorized access.

I also set up brute-force protection so bots can’t keep guessing your password, restrict XML-RPC and other attack vectors that spammers love to exploit, implement rate limiting to stop aggressive crawlers and DDoS attempts, and configure a web application firewall (WAF) that filters malicious traffic before it reaches your site. These protections work silently in the background, blocking thousands of attack attempts while your site runs smoothly for legitimate visitors.

🚨 Malware Removal & Hack Cleanup

If your site has already been compromised, time is critical. I respond quickly to remove malicious code, clean up injected scripts that redirect visitors or steal data, and restore broken pages to get your site back online. But cleanup is just the beginning—I also secure your site to prevent the same attack from happening again, identify how the breach occurred in the first place, and patch those vulnerabilities permanently.

I work with hosting providers to remove Google warnings and blacklist flags, restore your site’s reputation with search engines, and give you peace of mind knowing the threat is completely eliminated. Many Miami businesses have come to me after trying DIY fixes or cheap overseas services that left hidden backdoors. I do it right the first time.

⚡ Performance & Core Web Vitals Optimization

Security and speed are deeply connected. A bloated, slow website is often a vulnerable website. When I optimize your site’s performance, I’m also improving its security posture. I reduce JavaScript and CSS bloat that slows page loads and creates attack surface, improve your Core Web Vitals scores (LCP, FID, CLS) so Google ranks you higher, implement lazy loading for images and videos, set up compression and caching layers for faster delivery, and optimize your database to eliminate waste.

Better performance means better user experience, higher conversion rates, and improved SEO rankings. It also means fewer resources for attackers to exploit and faster recovery if something does go wrong.

🔧 Ongoing WordPress Maintenance

Security isn’t a one-time fix—it’s an ongoing commitment. My monthly maintenance packages include weekly updates for WordPress core, plugins, and themes to patch new vulnerabilities as they’re discovered, daily security monitoring with instant alerts if something looks wrong, regular speed optimizations to keep your site performing at its best, and automated backup management so you can always restore if needed.

Think of it as having a dedicated IT person watching over your WordPress site 24/7, but at a fraction of the cost. You focus on running your business while I make sure your website stays secure, fast, and reliable.
