WordPress Plugins
The following plugins were detected by reading the HTML source of the WordPress sites front page.

Plugin   Update Status   About
wordpress-seo 10.1.3   Warning   latest release (14.4.1)
https://yoa.st/1uj
jetpack 7.2   Warning   latest release (8.6.1)
https://jetpack.com
Plugins are a source of many security vulnerabilities within WordPress installations, always keep them updated to the latest version available and check the developers plugin page for information about security related updates and fixes.

User Enumeration
The first two user ID's were tested to determine if user enumeration is possible.

Username   Name
ID: 1   wp10978   Admin
ID: 2   not found   
It is recommended to rename the admin user account to reduce the chance of brute force attacks occurring. As this will reduce the chance of automated password attackers gaining access. Take note that if the author archives are enabled it is usually possible to enumerate all users within a WordPress installation.
