WooCommerce stores
WooCommerce runs on WordPress, so a store inherits both WordPress's biggest risk (an out-of-date core, theme, or plugin) and the higher stakes of handling checkout and customer data. Two gaps show up most: the security-header baseline that WordPress does not ship by default (HSTS and a real CSP matter on checkout), and plugins that fall behind on updates. A working store can still score poorly on what browsers enforce.
Paste your storefront hostname and Scorifya checks HTTPS and TLS, security headers, passive SPF, DMARC and MX signals, cookie attributes, and exposure cues. It reads only the public URL, so no admin access is needed. Results in under 30 seconds.
This page is written for people searching for WooCommerce security check—same tool as the homepage, with context for that query.
How we differ from deep TLS graders, browser-focused posture tools, and header-only checkers: read the comparison.
Illustrative snapshots of what a report can look like—paste your URL above for a live score on your site.
Example A: busy store, plugins ahead of hardening
TLS is healthy and checkout works, but no Content-Security-Policy and a missing HSTS header leave the store weaker than its payment flow deserves.
Content-Security-Policy missing
On a store, a CSP is a frontline defense against injected card-skimming scripts. Scorifya flags its absence so you can stage a report-only policy on checkout first.
Strict-Transport-Security absent
HTTPS works, but without HSTS a first-visit downgrade window stays open on pages that carry payment data. Set the header at your web server or a security plugin.
Version detail exposed
A readme or generator tag that reveals the WordPress or plugin version hands an attacker a target. Trim those cues.
Example B: patched and hardened storefront
Headers, TLS, and cookie flags match what a checkout should serve. The remaining points are in email authentication on the sending domain.
CSP allows broad script hosts
A policy is in place but whitelists large CDNs. Tighten it as you consolidate the plugins and payment scripts the storefront loads.
DMARC at p=none
Order and marketing email is monitored but not enforced. Move to quarantine once your senders align.
Keep WordPress core, theme, and every plugin updated
WooCommerce stores are compromised most often through an out-of-date plugin. Turn on automatic updates where you safely can, remove plugins and themes you no longer use, and only run extensions that are actively maintained. Fewer plugins means a smaller attack surface on a store that handles money.
Put a Content-Security-Policy on checkout first
A CSP is one of the strongest defenses against payment-page skimmers. Inventory every script your store loads (theme, plugins, payment gateways, analytics), then roll out a report-only policy on the checkout and cart pages and promote it to enforcing once the reports are clean.
Add HSTS and the rest of the header baseline
WordPress does not send HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, or Permissions-Policy by default. Set them at your web server, a reverse proxy, or a reputable security plugin so every store response, especially checkout, carries them.
Lock down wp-admin and the login page
Use strong admin passwords with two-factor authentication, limit login attempts, and restrict wp-admin by IP where you can. Brute-force attempts against the login page are constant on WooCommerce stores.
Publish SPF and DMARC for order and marketing email
Stores send a lot of transactional and marketing email, which makes them a spoofing target. Publish SPF and DMARC on the sending domain so order confirmations and receipts cannot be impersonated. Scorifya reads those records passively from public DNS.

Background explainers for what this tool checks.
WooCommerce itself is well-maintained, and a current, well-configured store can be very secure. Because it runs on self-hosted WordPress, though, security depends heavily on the owner: keeping core, theme, and plugins patched, configuring TLS and security headers, hardening wp-admin, and protecting customer data. Stores that fall behind on plugin updates are the ones that get hit.
The recurring findings are: out-of-date or vulnerable plugins, no Content-Security-Policy (a real risk for payment skimming), absent HSTS and other security headers, exposed version cues, weak wp-admin protection, and incomplete SPF or DMARC on the sending domain. Most are configuration and maintenance gaps rather than core WooCommerce flaws.
No. WooCommerce serves HTTPS once TLS is configured, but WordPress does not send the browser security-header baseline (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, and the rest) by default. You add them at the web server, a reverse proxy, or a security plugin. They have to be enabled deliberately.
Paste your storefront URL above. Scorifya passively checks TLS, security headers, passive email DNS (SPF, DMARC, MX), cookie attributes, and exposure cues, then returns a 0 to 100 score with the specific fixes. It does not log into wp-admin or run exploits; it reports what a browser and public DNS reveal, which is where most quick wins on a store live.
No. Only the public storefront URL is requested. Anything behind wp-admin or a customer account stays invisible to these passive checks, so it is safe to run against a live store.
More detail on limits and billing: FAQ.
TLS, HTTPS & redirects
Valid certificates, modern TLS, and clean HTTP→HTTPS upgrades. We also probe whether legacy TLS 1.0/1.1 are still accepted.
Security headers
CSP, HSTS, and related headers reduce common browser-side attack surfaces and clickjacking risk.
DNS & email (passive)
SPF, DMARC, a few DKIM selectors, MX, and whether common subdomains resolve publicly—without port scanning.
Hygiene signals
Verbose server banners and risky defaults can raise your attack surface and erode trust.
Not a vulnerability scan
Scorifya checks public configuration signals; it does not attempt exploitation, port scans, or authenticated crawling.
If you're iterating on config or deploying changes, you'll likely run multiple checks as you tighten things up. When you're ready, Scorifya Pro removes scan limits and unlocks JSON/CSV/PDF exports.
