WordPress powers 43% of the entire web — and that makes it the single most targeted CMS on the planet. Every day, hundreds of thousands of automated attacks target WordPress sites looking for weak passwords, unpatched plugins, and exposed admin panels.

Most of those attacks succeed because site owners simply don’t know what to do. Not because they don’t care — but because the information is scattered, technical, or hidden behind expensive security consultants.

WP SecureStack exists to fix that. We write plain-English security guides, test and review the best tools, publish real-time threat alerts, and give away free templates any site owner can use — regardless of budget or technical experience.

It started with a hacked site.

In early 2022, our founder’s e-commerce site was compromised through a vulnerable WooCommerce plugin. The attack injected malware into every product page, got the domain blacklisted by Google, and cost over a week of recovery time.

The frustrating part wasn’t the hack itself — it was that the vulnerability had been publicly disclosed for three weeks before the attack. A patch was available. But no one had told the site owner.

WP SecureStack launched in mid-2022 as a simple blog with a security checklist. By 2023 it had grown to 25,000 monthly readers, a weekly threat digest, and a full library of guides, plugin reviews, and downloadable templates.

Today we’re a small team of WordPress developers and security researchers — but the mission is exactly the same as day one: make WordPress security accessible to everyone.
