A smaller attack surface.
Hardening means giving an attacker fewer ways in. We focus on the server settings your PHP site uses.
Only the access needed
Review file owners and write access. Check which powerful PHP functions the app needs before disabling any.

- 01
Map the risks
Review the live setup and app needs. Rank exposed files and unsafe access before lower-risk changes.
- 02
Apply focused fixes
Keep a backup and a way to undo each change. Test on a staging copy where available.
- 03
Verify real use
Check sign-in, uploads and scheduled jobs after changes. Record what changed and what still needs attention.
Know what a fix can do.
PHP guidance since 2010. Practical server care today.
A checklist guides the work. Your app decides which settings fit.
Is removing phpinfo enough?
No. It removes one source of leaked details. File access, software updates and private settings still need review.
Should every dangerous function be disabled?
No single list fits every app. Some functions support valid jobs. Restrict them with care and test those jobs afterward.
Does hardening make a site breach-proof?
No. It reduces risk. Keep the app and its add-ons patched, protect accounts and check backups too.
