Your setup checklist
One card per check. Each missing item comes with a free setup guide.
A public check, not a full audit. "Needs a look" means we could not confirm it from outside. Some settings can only be verified inside your WordPress dashboard.
What a new WordPress site needs first
The three areas most new sites leave half done.
Get found on Google
An SEO plugin, page titles, a sitemap, robots.txt, Search Console and an llms.txt file. We check whether each one is in place.
Lock the doors before someone tries them
Fresh installs leave the WordPress version visible, XML-RPC open and usernames easy to guess. Small settings, big difference.
Look ready from day one
A favicon, a working certificate, no mixed content and no error messages showing on the page.
What we look at
Set up to be found.
A new site is invisible to Google until a few things are switched on. We check which ones you still need.
- SEO plugin
- Page titles
- Meta descriptions
- Canonical tags
- Open Graph
- Schema
- XML sitemap
- robots.txt
- Search Console
A typical finding
Sitemap exists, but Google was never told about it.
Most new sites never submit their sitemap. The fix takes five minutes.
- 1Open Google Search Console and add your site.
- 2Paste your sitemap address under Sitemaps.
- 3Re-scan to confirm the verification tag.
Set up to stay safe.
Bots start testing every new WordPress site within days. We run the same checks first, then tell you what to close.
- SSL certificate
- HTTPS redirect
- HSTS
- Security headers
- Version disclosure
- XML-RPC
- User enumeration
- Login protection
- Firewall plugin
A typical finding
The WordPress version is printed in the page source.
It tells attackers exactly which known weaknesses to try. Hiding it is one line in your theme.
- 1Open your theme's functions file.
- 2Remove the generator tag with one filter.
- 3Re-scan to confirm it is gone.
Set up to look ready.
The small details visitors notice before they read a word, plus a head start with AI assistants.
- Favicon
- Site icon sizes
- Mixed content
- Debug output
- llms.txt
- Spam protection
A typical finding
No favicon, so the tab shows a blank page icon.
It is the first thing people see in a crowded row of tabs. Our free generator makes every size you need.
- 1Upload your logo to the favicon generator.
- 2Set it as the Site Icon in the Customizer.
- 3Re-scan to confirm every size is found.
Why WTC

Only the setup that matters

Most new sites start in the orange
A typical first scan lands around here. Two or three plugins and a few settings usually move it into the green.

Re-scan after each step. Every plugin you install and every setting you fix shows up in the next report.
Rather have us set it up?
The guides are free. If you would rather not touch settings, pick a package and we do the setup for you. USD, one-time, no subscription. Not sure which one? Book a call
Questions, answered
The things new site owners ask us most before their first check.
Do I need to install anything or give you access?
No. We only look at the public side of your website, the same pages any visitor or search engine can see. Nothing is installed and no passwords are needed.
How long does a check take?
Usually 10-30 seconds. Larger sites or slow hosting can take a little longer. Results are cached for five minutes, so a re-scan right away shows the same report.
What does "Needs a look" mean?
It means we could not confirm the setting from outside. Some things, like Search Console verification, can only be checked inside your own accounts. The guide tells you where to look.
Are the setup guides really free?
Yes. Every missing item comes with a step-by-step guide you can follow yourself. The packages are there if you would rather hand the work over.
Does this work for sites that are not on WordPress?
Most checks still run, but the guides are written for WordPress. The report will tell you if it could not confirm WordPress on your site.

One URL, one clear checklist, and a free guide for every item. Hand over the setup whenever you like.
