WordPress, WooCommerce and PrestaShop security
WordPress, WooCommerce and PrestaShop can work well, but they get fragile when plugins, modules and configurations grow unchecked.
We analyse existing installations, known vulnerabilities, signs of compromise, hardening, and the SEO risks tied to spam, redirects and malicious pages.

Security and SEO are connected
A compromised site isn't only a technical problem. It can produce indexed spam pages, invisible redirects, loss of trust, tracking problems and damage to your campaigns.
For eCommerce with checkout, customer accounts and custom modules, it can be worth pairing this analysis with eCommerce penetration testing or a website vulnerability assessment.

FAQ
Can you work on sites that are already compromised?
Yes, but first we need to understand the state of the backups, the access, the hosting, which files changed and the impact on SEO and data.
Is updating plugins enough?
No. It matters, but you also need control over permissions, users, backups, logs, configurations and plugins that are no longer maintained.
Can a slow PrestaShop be a security problem?
Sometimes yes. Obsolete modules, malware, unusual queries or bot traffic can degrade performance and stability.
