A MAJOR WEBSITE SECURITY ISSUE — EXPLAINED IN PLAIN ENGLISH!

You may have heard about the recently discovered PHP security vulnerabilities affecting millions of websites, including those built with WordPress.

But what exactly happened? Should you be worried? And why did it take more than two months to warn the public?

At KC Web Specialists, we believe understanding your website shouldn't require a degree in computer science.

We've put together an easy-to-understand article that answers some interesting questions:

What are these PHP security vulnerabilities?

How did artificial intelligence help discover them?

Have hackers actually broken into websites?

Why did it take so long to release security patches?

What should website owners do now?

No complicated technical explanations. No scare tactics. (well, just a little, but it's really important that we all read this) So just straightforward information every business owner should understand.

Grab a cup of coffee and get the whole story!

We ask business owners to care about website accessibility. We put that same attention into our own site.

KC Web Specialists, LLC reviewed kcwebspecialists.com using WCAG 2.1 AA as our scanning target. PowerMapper OnDemand Suite helped guide the work, alongside ARC Toolkit, axe DevTools, Lighthouse, Silktide and WAVE.

We corrected reported issues, manually reviewed suspected false positives against WCAG 2.1 AA, and added a public accessibility policy. We continue monitoring for ongoing concerns.

The outcome we care about: a more accessible website and a clear commitment to people with disabilities. This was not a complete manual WCAG 2.1 AA audit or a compliance certification.

Could your business website be easier for more people to use? Our Kansas City-area team can help you understand where to start.

📞 Your website called. It has a small request.

“Hey, Boss…can we make it a little easier for everybody to use me?”

Your website works 24/7 introducing people to your business, explaining your services and helping customers contact you. So it makes sense to make it as accessible as reasonably possible for people with disabilities, too.

At KC Web Specialists, LLC., we help local businesses improve website accessibility using WCAG 2.2 Level AA as our core guidance.

That can mean improving things like:

✅ Color contrast
✅ Image alt text
✅ Keyboard navigation
✅ Forms and labels
✅ Heading structure
✅ Overall usability

And no, this isn’t about trying to scare you with lawsuit headlines.

It’s about doing something good for your customers — and making your website a better website in the process.

We bring more than 19 years of website development experience to the work, along with hands-on accessibility testing and remediation experience.

If you’re curious how accessible your website is today, we offer a FREE website ADA accessibility evaluation.

Your website will thank you. 😉
