Preventionlabs checks your website from the outside in about 15 seconds, from one click, and tells you what’s broken, where, and what to do. A full report covers: * Pages: failing, slow, redirecting or hidden from Google, broken links, JavaScript errors * Security: leaked files such as .env, .git and backups, outdated scripts with published security holes, security headers * Uptime and speed: HTTPS, redirects, page weight, caching * Search: noindex tags, robots.txt blocks, sitemap pages that fail * Email: SPF, DKIM and DMARC, so your emails don’t land in spam * Domain and DNS: DNSSEC, nameservers, records pointing at services that no longer exist * WordPress: versions and plugins visible from outside Every check is read-only: nothing in Preventionlabs can change your site, DNS, code or settings. Reports are produced by code from the data checked, with no AI and no opinions. Copy the report into your AI assistant or send it to your developer to work out the fix. Only the owner can check a site. The plugin proves this site is yours in one click, with no DNS changes: Preventionlabs gives it a proof for this site’s address, the plugin publishes it, and Preventionlabs reads it back. Reports can only run on sites you’ve proven. ### External services This plugin connects to the Preventionlabs service at app.preventionlabs.com.au. It is needed to run the checks, which happen on Preventionlabs’ servers, not on your site. * What is sent: your Preventionlabs API key, this site’s address (when you click Verify this site), and the ID of the site you choose to check. Nothing about your visitors, users or content is sent. * When: only after an administrator pastes an API key and clicks Connect, and then each time the Tools > Preventionlabs page is opened (to list your sites), Verify this site is clicked, or a report is run. * The proof: after you click Verify this site, the plugin publishes a random proof token at /?rest_route=/preventionlabs/v1/proof on this site. Preventionlabs reads it to confirm the site is yours, when you verify and again before each report. The token only proves this site to your account; it is useless anywhere else. It is removed when you delete the plugin. * The service: Preventionlabs, by GOLProductions. Terms: https://preventionlabs. com.au/terms Privacy policy: https://preventionlabs.com.au/privacy A Preventionlabs account is required. The first full report is free; after that, a subscription is A$50 a month for up to 10 domains. ## Installation 1. Install and activate the plugin. 2. Sign up at https://app.preventionlabs.com.au. 3. In your Preventionlabs dashboard, open Connections and click Create API key. 4. In WordPress, open Tools > Preventionlabs, paste the key and click Connect. 5. Click Verify this site. 6. Click Run full check. ## FAQ ### Does the plugin slow down my site? No. It adds nothing to your public pages. It only runs in your admin area, when you open its page or run a report. ### Can someone use my key to check other people’s sites? No. A key can only run reports on sites in your account that you’ve proven are yours. The only site it can add is one that then proves itself by publishing your account’s proof, which only that site’s administrator can do. It can’t change anything on any site. ### Why does verifying fail? The message says why. The usual causes: a security plugin or firewall blocks the WordPress REST API for visitors (allow /?rest_route=/preventionlabs/v1/proof), the site redirects to another address (check Settings > General), or WordPress runs in a folder such as example.com/blog, which can’t prove the whole domain. In those cases, add the DNS record from your Preventionlabs dashboard instead. ### What happens when I delete the plugin? It removes the stored key, the proof and the last report from your database. Without the proof, the site stops counting as verified at its next report. Delete the key in your Preventionlabs dashboard too, if you no longer need it. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Preventionlabs” is open source software.
