Plugin versions visible

Effort to fix: Quick win (under an hour)

Why it matters

Version numbers in asset URLs let attackers find vulnerable plugins instantly. Outdated plugins are the most common way WordPress sites get compromised.

How to fix it

Update every plugin, remove ones you don't use, and strip version query strings from asset URLs.

On WordPress

Enable automatic updates for plugins you trust, delete inactive plugins, and use an optimisation plugin's 'remove query strings' option.
