Looking for 100 WordPress admins to test Segurium — 1 year of Pro on us

Segurium scans WordPress sites for malware and cleans up infected files in a way that keeps the site working — precise removal, not wipe-and-pray. The plugin is live on the official WordPress.org plugin directory, free to install. What we want now is exposure to a wider variety of WordPress sites than we run ourselves.

That is why we are running a small tester program.

What we are looking for

We are looking for 100 WordPress admins who are willing to install Segurium on a real site and run it for a few weeks. Two kinds of environments are the best fit:

Staging sites — copies of production where you want a second pair of eyes on the file tree.
Production sites you actively manage — personal blogs, small project sites, agency sites, internal tools, client sandboxes.

You are a good fit if you:

Run at least one self-hosted WordPress site you have full admin access to.
Can spend ~30 minutes over the testing period: install, run a scan, try a cleanup if anything is found, and tell us what you saw.
Are willing to share scan results with us. You can review and redact before sending — nothing leaves your site without you pressing a button.

You do not need to be a security professional. We want a mix: freelancers who manage 10 client sites, hobbyist bloggers, agencies, hosting people, plain WordPress users who care about their site.

What we want from you

Three things, in order of importance:

Tell us what the scan found. If Segurium detected a real infection and cleaned it up, we want to hear the story — what the malware was, what the site does, what the fix looked like from your side.
Tell us how it felt to use. What was clear, what was not. Where the dashboard helped, where it got in the way. The kind of feedback you would give a colleague who built it.
Answer one short survey at the end — about 8 questions, under 10 minutes. This is what helps us decide what to ship next after the program closes.

That is the whole ask. No NDA. No scheduled calls unless you want one. No public review required.

What you get

Every accepted tester receives a 1-year Segurium Pro license, free, covering one site. The license activates the same way a paid Pro license does and keeps working for a full year from the day we send it — independent of whether you stay in the program for the whole testing period.

We are granting 100 seats in total. Once they are gone, they are gone. If demand is much higher than 100 we will consider a second round later.

How it works

Apply by email. Write to support@segurium.com — a plain, free-form message is fine. Give us website URL.
Get accepted. We will reply within a business day with your license key. The plugin itself installs from WordPress.org.
Install and scan. Use Segurium the way you would use any security plugin. Run a scan when you install it.
Send feedback whenever you have something to say — same email address, no template required.
Final survey at the end of the program window (8 weeks from the day you receive your key).

That is it.

Install it with confidence

Segurium ships from the official WordPress.org plugin directory, so you install it the same way as any other plugin: in your WordPress admin, open Plugins → Add New, search for “Segurium”, click Install Now, then Activate. Every release is reviewed and hosted by WordPress.org, and updates arrive through the normal WordPress update flow.

Test on a staging copy first. The safest path is to clone your site to a staging copy, install Segurium there, and run a scan and a cleanup before you touch production.

Know what it touches. Cleanup runs only from the WordPress admin, behind a permission and nonce check. It needs write access to the files it heals — WordPress core, plugins, and themes — and never acts for logged-out visitors.

Cleanup is reversible. Before Segurium changes a file it keeps the original, and it refuses to act if the file changed since the last scan. See Move and recover for how recovery works.

A few notes

If you write to us, we will read it. Replies go to a real person, not a ticket queue.
We will not publish your site’s name, your scan results, or anything you share with us without your explicit permission. If you want your feedback to stay private, say so and it stays private.

Write to support@segurium.com when you are ready.
