Plugin Stack Scanner
Scans your installed plugins against a curated list of functionality that CloudScale already provides – security scanners, 2FA plugins, SMTP mailers, code highlighting, SQL tools, and log viewers. Shows exactly which plugins are now redundant and safe to remove, reducing your attack surface and update burden.
🔍 Fewer Plugins = Smaller Attack Surface
Every plugin you run is a piece of code you trust to not get hacked, not conflict with anything, and not slow your site down. CloudScale already replaces entire categories of plugins. The Plugin Stack Scanner tells you exactly which of your current plugins are now redundant.
Click Scan My Plugin Stack to compare your active and inactive plugins against CloudScale’s replacement list. The scan checks for plugins in these categories:
- Security scanners – Wordfence, iThemes Security, All In One WP Security
- 2FA plugins – WP 2FA, Google Authenticator, Duo Security
- SMTP mailers – WP Mail SMTP, Easy WP SMTP, FluentSMTP
- Code highlighting – SyntaxHighlighter, Enlighter, Prismatic
- SQL tools – Adminer, WP phpMyAdmin
- Log viewers – Error Log Monitor, WP Log Viewer
Each flagged plugin shows why it’s redundant and which CloudScale feature replaces it. Inactive plugins are flagged with an extra warning: inactive plugins still load autoloaded code on every page request and are still scanned for vulnerabilities – deactivate and delete, don’t just deactivate.
