Können wir alte Plugins deaktiviert auf dem Server lassen?

Aus Sicherheitsgründen sollten ungenutzte Erweiterungen vollständig entfernt werden. Ihre Dateien bleiben auch im deaktivierten Zustand vorhanden und können bekannte Schwachstellen enthalten.

Was passiert mit einer benötigten Erweiterung ohne verfügbares Update?

Ich prüfe Version, Funktion und bekannte Schwachstellen. Anschließend erhalten Sie eine konkrete Empfehlung für Ersatz, technische Absicherung oder eine kontrollierte Übergangslösung.

Wie schnell ist die Website wieder bereinigt?

Die Wiederherstellung erfolgt innerhalb von sechs Stunden ab dem Zeitpunkt, an dem alle erforderlichen Zugänge vorliegen. Diese Zusage gilt montags bis freitags zwischen 8 und 20 Uhr. Dauert die Bearbeitung länger, zahlen Sie die Hälfte.

Arbeiten Sie mit Agenturen und internen IT-Teams zusammen?

Ja. Ich stimme den technischen Ablauf mit den zuständigen Ansprechpartnern ab und übergebe nach Abschluss einen Befund mit Fundstellen, Maßnahmen und empfohlenen Folgeschritten.

Every installed extension increases the software inventory that needs to be checked. This also applies to deactivated plugins and themes whose files remain on the server. As part of the cleanup, I therefore record all components, compare active versions with trusted sources and remove unused extensions after consultation. Required components are updated or secured with a suitable alternative.

Questions from Essen

Can we leave old plugins deactivated on the server?

For security reasons, unused extensions should be completely removed. Their files remain present even when deactivated and may contain known vulnerabilities.

What happens with a required extension for which no update is available?

I check the version, functionality and known vulnerabilities. You will then receive a specific recommendation for a replacement, technical hardening or a controlled interim solution.

How quickly will the website be cleaned up again?

Restoration takes place within six hours from the time all required access credentials are available. This commitment applies Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. If processing takes longer, you pay half.

Do you work with agencies and internal IT teams?

Yes. I coordinate the technical process with the responsible contacts and, upon completion, provide a report of findings with identified locations, measures and recommended next steps.

Request technical assessment

The review and cleanup are carried out via server and database access. After your enquiry, I will clarify the symptoms, the available access credentials and the next technical steps with you.
