OUR SECURITY PROCESS
How we secure and speed up WordPress sites.
Security and performance are two sides of the same coin. A slow site loses customers. A hacked site loses everything. We handle both with the same rigorous four-phase process.
01
Audit & Baseline
Full security scan for malware, vulnerabilities, outdated plugins, weak passwords, and exposed admin panels. Core Web Vitals measurement for LCP, INP, CLS.
02
Harden & Clean
Malware removal if needed, plugin and theme updates, admin hardening, firewall rules, SSL and HSTS enforcement, and security header deployment.
03
Optimize Performance
Core Web Vitals work: image optimization, caching, CDN, database cleanup, plugin audit, and render-blocking resource removal.
04
Monitor & Respond
24/7 uptime monitoring, malware scanning, and real-time security alerts. Urgent issues handled within 1 hour during business hours.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Every layer of WordPress security and performance. Covered.
Here is what’s actually in a security and performance engagement with Bryka.
Security Audit
Scan for vulnerabilities, outdated software, weak passwords, exposed files, and known exploit vectors.
Malware Cleanup
Complete malware removal, backdoor elimination, and site restoration from clean backups if your site is already compromised.
Firewall & WAF
Cloudflare WAF, Wordfence, server-level rules, brute-force protection, and rate limiting on admin and login paths.
Core Web Vitals
LCP under 2.5s, INP under 200ms, CLS under 0.1. Image optimization, caching, CDN, and render-blocking removal.
Backups & DR
Automated daily backups stored off-server with tested restore procedures. Point-in-time recovery under 15 minutes.
Monitoring
24/7 uptime, malware, Core Web Vitals, and security alert monitoring with proactive incident response.
WHY SECURITY MATTERS
A single malware infection can wipe out your organic traffic overnight.
WordPress powers 43% of the web, which also makes it the most targeted platform for malware, brute-force attacks, and vulnerability scanning. Over 90,000 attacks hit WordPress sites every minute. A compromised site can be blacklisted by Google, defaced, used to distribute malware, or have customer data stolen.
Security and performance also feed directly into SEO. Google blacklists hacked sites, Core Web Vitals is a ranking factor, and AI crawlers like GPTBot need fast, accessible pages to cite your content. Getting this right protects traffic and unlocks growth.

IS THIS FOR YOU?
Is security and performance work the right fit?
Security and performance work is the right move if your site is generating real business, you depend on it for leads or revenue, and you can’t afford downtime, data loss, or slow pages eroding your conversion rate.
It’s the wrong fit for sites that are about to be replaced anyway — in that case, migrate first and harden the new site on day one.

FAQS
WordPress Security & Performance questions, answered.
WordPress
Security &
Performance
Security audit, malware scanning and removal, plugin and theme hardening, brute-force and firewall protection via Cloudflare or Wordfence, SSL and HSTS, daily backups stored off-server, restricted file editing, security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options), and 24/7 uptime and intrusion monitoring.
Yes. We do emergency malware cleanup, backdoor removal, and full site restoration. We identify the entry point (usually an outdated plugin or weak admin password), clean every infected file, restore clean backups, and harden the site so the same vector can’t be used again.
Core Web Vitals optimization (LCP, INP, CLS), image compression and WebP conversion, lazy loading, page and object caching, database cleanup, CDN configuration (usually Cloudflare), font optimization, render-blocking resource elimination, and plugin audit to remove bloat.
Yes. Most WordPress sites we take over score 30–60 on mobile before we start and 85+ after. The exact lift depends on theme quality and plugin load, but the wins are almost always in caching, images, and dead JavaScript — and those compound into better SEO and AI crawler access too.
We host most clients on WP Engine because of its combination of managed security, enterprise-grade infrastructure, global CDN, and automated daily backups. If you’re on Kinsta, Cloudways, SiteGround, Rocket, or another quality host, we work with whatever you have.
