0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

HashThemes is a Nepal-based small technology company specializing in the development and sale of WordPress themes, templates, and plugins. Established in 2015, the company has built a reputable presence with over 800,000 clients, offering both free and premium digital products tailored for WordPress users and developers. Their business model focuses on e-commerce sales of digital assets, supported by custom development and customization services. The website demonstrates a professional design with clear navigation and a strong brand identity, targeting WordPress users globally. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern technologies such as Elementor, Easy Digital Downloads, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for security. The site employs lazy loading for images and integrates Google Fonts and Crisp Chat for enhanced user experience. Hosting and domain registration are managed by HOSTINGER operations, UAB, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements Google reCAPTCHA on forms to mitigate spam. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no advanced security headers were detected, indicating room for improvement in hardening the security posture. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, including GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms. No incident response or security policy pages were found. Overall, HashThemes presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with a solid business foundation and adequate technical infrastructure. Strategic improvements in security configurations and transparency around incident response could further enhance their security maturity and customer trust.

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

HashThemes occupies a niche in the WordPress ecosystem, providing both free and premium themes and plugins, which positions them competitively among WordPress product vendors. Their large client base indicates strong market acceptance and effective product offerings. The business model leverages digital product sales supplemented by custom development services, targeting website developers, agencies, and end-users seeking WordPress solutions. The company maintains active social media channels and provides extensive documentation and support, enhancing customer engagement and retention. The Nepal location suggests cost-effective operations with global reach. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent operation. The presence of testimonials and clear policies supports credibility and customer confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting forms against automated abuse. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could hinder transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business scale but would benefit from enhancements in DNS security, HTTP headers, and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and customer trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform enhanced with Elementor page builder and Easy Digital Downloads for e-commerce functionality. It uses modern front-end technologies including jQuery and lazy loading for images to optimize performance. Google Fonts and Crisp Chat integration improve aesthetics and customer support capabilities. The site is hosted under a domain registered with HOSTINGER operations, UAB. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization evident from meta tags and structured data. Technical debt appears low, but security-related technical improvements are recommended. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam prevention, indicating a proactive approach to form security.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
