Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Aardwolf Security Scanner

Yes. All checks are read-only. The plugin sends a few requests to your own site to inspect headers and look for exposed files, which is harmless. Keep a current backup before you change any settings, as good practice.

No. The scanner reports each problem and tells you how to fix it. You make the changes yourself, such as editing wp-config.php, adjusting file permissions, or updating settings.

Some checks send a request to your own site. If your host blocks these requests, those checks are skipped instead of failed, and the result explains what to check by hand.
