# How To Check Site Recovery Readiness in BetterShield Hub?

See whether a connected site has recovery methods ready and ask it to run a recovery check from BetterShield Hub.

The site's **Recovery** card shows the recovery methods its [BetterShield](/) installation reports and whether they are ready.

_**Note:** Sign in to your free [BetterShield Hub](/bettershield-hub/) account. Your workspace role and site permissions determine which information and actions you can use._

## What it does

Hub summarizes the site's recovery link, printed recovery codes and other reported recovery checks. It does not display a recovery secret.

**Check readiness now** asks the site to test its current readiness again when the connection offers that check.

## Step 1: Open the feature

Set up recovery on the WordPress site under BetterShield.

## Step 2: Check site recovery readiness

- Connect the site to Hub.
- Open the site and find **Recovery**.
- Select **Check readiness now** when you need fresh results.

There is no Hub default. The card reflects what the site has configured.

## Recommended settings

Our advice:

- Keep at least one recovery method somewhere outside the WordPress site.
- Recheck after moving the site or changing its domain.
- Test recovery before applying access restrictions.

## What it can break and how to undo

Reading or running the check changes no recovery setting. A failed result means the recovery method should be corrected on the site.

Do not copy recovery links or codes into Hub notes.

## Final Outcome

The card shows a ready count and the individual methods.

- A new check updates the result and time.
- No recovery secret appears in Hub.
