How Hostay’s Cleanup Works
First step : malware and vulnerabilities scan
1: Eligibility Check
We first verify that your site is eligible for the scan and cleanup process.
This includes checking:
- Domain status to confirm it’s active and operational.
- WordPress version to ensure compatibility with our tools.
- Installed plugins to identify any potential vulnerabilities or incompatibilities.
2: Provide Data for Analysis
To proceed with a full analysis, choose one of three secure data transfer options:
- ZIP Archive: Upload a ZIP file of your website’s source code.
- All-in-One Migration Export: Use the All-in-One Migration plugin for a safe export.
- SFTP Secure Connection: Allow temporary SFTP access for direct analysis of your site files.
Each option guarantees flexibility and security, making it easy to prepare for the next steps.
3: Full Security and Malware Scan
With your WordPress site data ready, we conduct a comprehensive analysis to detect malware, vulnerabilities, and risks:
- Core file checks for any unauthorized modifications.
- Deep malware detection targeting known and emerging threats.
- Plugin and Theme Integrity Check: We scrutinize the integrity of all installed plugins and themes, comparing them with trusted originals to spot potentially compromised files or security flaws. Any vulnerabilities detected are flagged for immediate attention.
- Known Vulnerability Detection: Leveraging a comprehensive database, we identify vulnerabilities related to your specific setup, pinpointing weaknesses that might have already led to security breaches.
This step provides a complete assessment of your site’s integrity, preparing it for the final cleanup and safeguarding your data against potential threats.
4: Analysis Results
After the in-depth scan, you’ll receive a detailed report that includes:
- Summary of Results: An overview of all detected issues, including malware, vulnerabilities, and flagged files.
- Risk Assessment: Clear labels on each finding, ranked by severity to prioritize action.
This comprehensive report allows you to understand your website’s current state and take informed action to strengthen its protection.
