Step-by-Step Guides to Building and Growing Your Website
The free plans from UptimeRobot, Better Stack, StatusCake, Uptimia and Jetpack differ in check interval and monitor count more than most comparisons admit. I read each pricing page on 10 November 2026 and worked out which outages each interval would miss.
A live survey of 63 well-known sites shows only 17 mention any AI crawler in robots.txt. Here is what each crawler token does, which rules to copy, and how to edit robots.txt in WordPress.
Six quick checks tell you whether an online store is legit, and the padlock is not one of them. I measured 26 well-known shops on domain age, certificates and the policy and contact pages they publish to see what normal looks like.
A basic website security check is six small tests. I ran them on 68 well-known sites and on my own two, and found that the connection basics pass almost everywhere while three optional records are missing on most.
A vulnerability scan is mostly a version lookup. I checked all 25 plugins on this site against WPScan and Patchstack, found 67 to 69 known flaws and none that applied, and saw where the two databases disagreed.
A free malware scan only sees what a visitor sees. A live run of 69 well-known sites through Sucuri SiteCheck shows what it finds, the false alarms and blocked scans, and the server-side checks that fill the gap.
You can read a WordPress theme in ten seconds and a few plugins in a minute. A live check of 29 real sites and this site’s own 24 plugins shows how much a theme and plugin detector can see.
A security headers check reads six response headers. A live survey of 63 well-known sites shows which ones are common, what WordPress and the host send by default, and a safe order for adding them.
Four free checks can name a site’s host: IP owner, nameservers, headers and page source. A live survey of 69 well-known sites shows which ones work and why a CDN hides the host on seven sites in ten.
Yes, but extra MX records are for one provider’s redundancy, not for running two. How priority and failover work under RFC 5321, what 69 real domains publish, and how to switch providers without losing mail.
