QUICK ANSWER
What is a website security audit?
A website security audit checks a site for weaknesses attackers exploit: outdated software and plugins, weak user accounts, missing security headers, SSL problems, exposed files and missing backups. The Toffyjar free website security audit is reviewed by a specialist and delivered with a prioritized fix list.
CHECKS
What does the free security check cover?
Outside-in checks, plus inside checks if you grant access.
BY THE NUMBERS
What do the numbers say about website maintenance?
WordPress is used by 39.7% of all websites and 58.5% of websites whose content management system is known, according to W3Techs (October 2026). WooCommerce runs on 19.8% of WordPress sites. Google's Core Web Vitals define a good experience as Largest Contentful Paint within 2.5 seconds, Interaction to Next Paint of 200 milliseconds or less and Cumulative Layout Shift of 0.1 or less, measured at the 75th percentile of page loads (web.dev). Toffyjar care plans cost $89, $179, $249 or $399+ a month, covering updates tested on staging, backups, uptime and security monitoring and support hours. In short, most business sites run on software that needs regular updates, and performance is measured continuously, so maintenance is an ongoing operating cost rather than an optional extra.
COMPARE
Free website security check vs a full security audit: what is the difference?
A free website security check covers outside-in risks quickly. A full audit adds server, code and access reviews.
| Free check | Full audit | |
|---|---|---|
| Software and plugins | Yes | Yes |
| Headers and SSL | Yes | Yes |
| Code review | No | Yes |
| Server config | No | Yes |
| Price | Free | Quoted |
WHO
Who should run a website security audit?
Any business whose site takes leads or payments, has not been updated in months, uses many plugins, or recently changed developers or hosts. Agencies taking over a client site should run one too.
AFTER
What happens after the security audit?
Fix issues yourself or let us. WordPress security work and care plans keep sites protected. Hacked already? Use WordPress rescue. You keep the report either way.
WHY TOFFYJAR
Why get this from Toffyjar?
Our audits are reviewed by the same senior specialists who build and grow sites for clients in the US, UK and India, so the recommendations are practical and ship-ready. We publish our prices, never sell your data and never pressure you into a contract. If we cannot help, we say so.
TIMING
How quickly will you see results from website security audit?
Monitoring, backups and security hardening start on day one. Most sites see fewer errors and faster pages within the first month as outdated plugins are cleaned up and updates are tested on staging. Monthly reports show uptime, updates applied, issues fixed and Core Web Vitals trends, so the value of maintenance is visible rather than assumed.
PROOF
Sites we built, ranking today
We measured these results on 16 October 2026 using OpenSEO, which draws on DataForSEO ranking and backlink data. For example, in one case study an enterprise digital engineering company whose site Toffyjar built has 65 non-brand page-one rankings, 37 at #1, with 2,717 referring domains. In another, an AI insurance process automation platform has 13 non-brand top-10 rankings including #1 for underwriting software, with 2,578 referring domains. These are current figures, not before-and-after claims, and client names stay private under NDA. Every site was planned from a requirement sheet, built on staging, reviewed by senior people and handed over with the client owning the code, content and logins. Projects are priced at about $199 per page, and SEO and GEO retainers start at $499 a month. Ask for a reference on a discovery call and we will connect you with a client where they agree.
