What it does

Each eligible open finding becomes a Site Health test. Snoozed findings are included. Critical findings appear as critical; all other severities appear as recommended. Each test includes why it matters, what to consider before acting, the audit time, and See the finding in BetterShield.

When the audit is more than two days old, the test says it is overdue. With nothing open, one passing test reads BetterShield has no open security findings while the audit remains current.

BetterShield leaves out a small set of checks WordPress already reports on that WordPress version. They remain in BetterShield › Findings and still affect the score.
