TrustBeacon Auditor provides a plain-English report of basic public trust signals for the WordPress site where it is installed.
The plugin checks public configuration signals such as:
- MX records
- SPF records
- DMARC records
- Common DKIM selectors
- SSL certificate availability
- HTTP security headers
- CAA records
- DNSSEC indicators when supported by the server
- Cloudflare indicators in public response headers
- Public security plugin indicators visible in page HTML
The report includes a simple trust score, trust level, findings, recommendations, and business impact explanations.
Important: TrustBeacon Auditor evaluates publicly visible trust indicators. It is not a security certification, penetration test, malware scanner, compliance audit, or guarantee that a website is secure.
Admin Dashboard
The Trust Auditor admin page presents results as a dashboard rather than a single wide table:
- An overall Trust Score is shown as a circular gauge alongside the trust grade and counts of passing, warning, failing, and informational findings, all derived directly from the current audit’s findings.
- Email Authentication, Website Security, Visitor Protection, and DNS Security are shown as separate summary cards using the plugin’s existing category ratings (Excellent, Good, Fair, Needs Attention, or Additional Review Recommended).
- Findings are grouped by category. Each finding keeps its category, check, status, score, message, recommendation, and business impact; recommendation and business impact are available in an expandable “Recommendation and business impact” section.
- Status is always shown as visible text (PASS, WARN, FAIL, INFO) in addition to color, and a small status dot is decorative only.
- Before an audit has been run, an introductory panel explains what will be checked. It does not display a score or findings, so nothing can be mistaken for real results.
- The dashboard styling loads only on the Trust Auditor admin page and does not affect the rest of the WordPress admin area.
- The dashboard works without JavaScript. Recommendation and business impact sections use the browser’s native expand/collapse control.
External services
TrustBeacon Auditor performs remote HTTPS requests to websites selected by the site administrator in order to audit publicly available trust signals.
The plugin connects directly to the website being audited to inspect information such as:
- SSL certificate availability
- HTTP response headers
- Cloudflare detection
- Security plugin indicators
Data transmitted:
- The domain name entered by the administrator.
- Standard HTTP request headers, including a User-Agent string.
These requests occur only when an administrator initiates an audit.
No personal visitor information is collected, stored, or transmitted.
The plugin does not use any third-party commercial APIs.
