Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Patchstack - WordPress & Plugins Security
A worrisome website hacking statistic is that well over 90% of WordPress vulnerabilities are related to plugins or themes. One report found that up to 98% of WordPress vulnerabilities are due to plugins, while another study reported that 95% were caused by plugins and themes. To stay secure, always keep your WordPress plugins, themes, and core updated and monitored. Be aware of which plugins you’re using and remove any that are no longer needed.
Look for a tool that offers vPatching (see Patchstack’s features).
The Patchstack Personal (Free) plan alerts you if vulnerabilities are present in the plugins, themes, or WordPress core installed on your site. By staying informed, you can reduce the time and resources spent fixing WordPress security issues and avoid costly clean-ups.
You can detect security vulnerabilities in your WordPress plugins, themes, and core. You’ll receive email notifications if vulnerabilities are found, and access a central security overview for up to 3 websites using the Patchstack App. You can optionally enable vPatching for individual sites for $5/month.
With the Patchstack Developer plan, you can protect your sites against known plugin and theme vulnerabilities through automatic virtual patches — non-intrusive firewall rules that block exploit attempts. You also gain access to advanced hardening options, 2FA, CAPTCHA, security reports, and various alert types. Included features: Plugin vulnerability detection (also included in free) Theme vulnerability detection (also included in free) WordPress core vulnerability detection (also included in free) Logs and analytics (also included in free) Snapshot PDF security reports (also included in free) Email alerts (also included in free) vPatches for WordPress plugins vPatches for WordPress themes Unlimited custom firewall rules Unlimited custom alert triggers Weekly/monthly PDF reports Slack alerts Unlimited Patchstack App API usage
No external checks are performed. The plugin matches the installed plugins, themes, and WordPress core on your site with our vulnerability database to identify vulnerable versions.
With the Personal (Free) plan, you’ll receive alerts via email. Slack alerts are available in the paid Developer plan.
We have not encountered any conflicts. However, we recommend using as few security plugins as possible and avoiding overlapping features to prevent potential issues. If you encounter problems, contact our support team for assistance.
No, the free version does not include a firewall. It focuses on vulnerability detection and notifications.
The free version only runs scheduled tasks, with no noticeable impact on your site speed or server load. The paid version runs tasks on each page load to filter traffic, but our tests and customer feedback confirm minimal performance impact.
