How do I read my Faaaster site's integrity check?
The Check integrity button, in the site's Security tab, compares WordPress core and plugin files to their official versions. The result tells you whether your site is Intact or whether some files differ, and which ones.
Run the check
Every role on the site can run it, Viewer included. While the check runs, which can take a few minutes, the button shows Check in progress…; the result then appears in the card, and View history lists the previous checks.
One check at a time, once an hour. Only one security check runs on a site at a time, and integrity can be checked at most once an hour. If you run it again too soon, the card tells you from what time a new check is possible. The same rule applies when you ask the assistant.
How to read the result
The check compares your site's core and plugin files to the official WordPress.org checksums: it spots what has been modified compared to a clean installation.
The result takes one of these values:
Result | What it means |
|---|---|
Intact | No differences: the files match the official versions. |
Differences detected | Some files differ — see the details below. |
Error | The check couldn't be completed. |
Each difference is categorized: file Modified, Missing, Added, or Other.
A difference isn't necessarily an infection. A file modified on purpose — a misplaced child theme, a customization in the core — shows up too. It's an accumulation of added files in the core directories that should raise a red flag.
The Vulnerabilities section, in the same tab, lists the detected vulnerabilities, the most severe first.
