Where WP Triage sits in the stack

Most WordPress agencies already own tools that protect sites, scan them, or manage them. Those tools are necessary — and they still leave a gap: when twenty client installs all need attention, which site and which issue comes first?

WP Triage fills that gap with WordPress risk scoring: a 0–100 score per site, a top-three issue list, and a recommended fix order. It is built to complement your stack, not replace it.

If you are leaving a tool

These two pages are for people who already use a named product and are deciding what to switch. They name current prices and say which job moves.

• Wordfence alternative — Leave the per-site dashboard when the job is choosing which client site to fix first.
• MainWP alternative — Leave the hub’s update list when you need a comparable risk score across the book.
