Website security Ireland
A slow or insecure site costs you business
A hacked website shows warnings in Google, loses customer trust and can take days to recover. A slow website loses visitors before they even see what you offer: Core Web Vitals are part of Google's ranking systems, and poor loading times hurt both search visibility and user experience.
Most Irish businesses do not think about website security until something goes wrong. We take the opposite approach: regular monitoring, proactive updates and hardened configuration so problems are caught early. When speed is the issue, we diagnose what is actually slow, whether that is unoptimised images, render-blocking scripts, server response time or too many third-party requests, and fix it.
Security
Website security services we provide
Security audit
A thorough review of your site: software versions, plugin vulnerabilities, file integrity, user access, SSL configuration and server headers.
Security monitoring
Continuous scanning for malware, unauthorised file changes, blacklist status and SSL expiry, with alerts sent to you and us when something needs attention.
Malware removal
If your site is infected, we remove the malware, patch the entry point, restore clean files and submit reconsideration requests to Google if needed.
Firewall and hardening
Web application firewall rules, login protection, file permission lockdown and HTTP security headers to block common attacks before they reach your site.
SSL and HTTPS
Correct SSL installation, forced HTTPS, mixed-content fixes and certificate monitoring to keep your domain trusted and warning-free.
Uptime monitoring
Your site is checked every few minutes. If it goes down, we are notified and begin investigating promptly, aiming to resolve issues before they affect your customers.
Core Web Vitals & speed
Core Web Vitals optimisation for SEO and conversions
Google measures three metrics that affect your search rankings. We fix the actual causes, not just the scores.
Interaction to Next Paint (INP)
How quickly the page responds when a visitor clicks or taps. Heavy JavaScript, long tasks and third-party scripts are the usual culprits.
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
How much the page jumps around while loading. Images without dimensions, late-loading fonts and injected banners are common causes.
Image optimisation
Oversized images are the single most common speed problem on Irish business websites. We convert, compress and lazy-load them properly.
Script audit
Every third-party script, analytics tag, chat widget and social embed adds weight. We audit what is actually needed and remove or defer the rest.
Caching and CDN
Browser caching, server-side caching and content delivery networks configured so returning visitors and global traffic both load fast.

FAQ
Website security in Ireland: common questions
What does website security monitoring include?
We check your site regularly for malware, outdated software, SSL certificate issues and unauthorised changes. If something is found, we fix it and notify you with a plain explanation of what happened and what was done.
How do Core Web Vitals affect SEO?
Core Web Vitals are part of Google's ranking systems. Improving loading speed, visual stability and responsiveness can benefit user experience and support search performance.
Can you fix a hacked website?
Yes. We remove the malware, patch the vulnerability that allowed it, restore clean backups if needed and harden the site so it does not happen again. We then monitor for recurrence.
How much does website security cost in Ireland?
A one-off audit and hardening is a fixed piece of work. Ongoing monitoring and maintenance is usually monthly. We look at your site first and send a written price.
Do you work with WordPress, Shopify and custom sites?
Yes. WordPress sites need the most attention because plugins and themes introduce vulnerabilities regularly. Shopify handles hosting security itself, but store-level configuration, app audits and speed work are still needed. Custom sites get security reviews tailored to their stack.
What is the difference between website security and website maintenance?
Maintenance covers updates, backups and general care. Security focuses specifically on vulnerabilities, malware, access control and attack prevention. Most businesses need both, and we offer them together or separately.
