Are Wix sites secure?

The platform itself is hardened, but Velo-built sites with custom backend code regularly leak data. Common issues: suppressAuth bypass, API keys in frontend code, over-permissioned Members collections. We audit Velo apps for these patterns.

How do I export my Wix site?

You largely can't. There's no content export, no template export, no e-commerce export. Blog posts are limited to a 20-item RSS feed. Migration is a manual rebuild — we typically rebuild in Next.js + Sanity or move to Webflow.

Can you make my Wix site faster?

Within limits. We can audit and tune what you control: image sizes, custom code, third-party app loading, font strategy. But Wix's ~1MB baseline framework is a fixed cost, so deep performance gains usually require migrating off Wix.

Security issues we find in Wix apps

Patterns documented in primary-source research. Most of these ship to production by default.

Velo backend suppressAuth misuse

Public web modules using wixData.query(..., {suppressAuth: true}) without their own permission checks let any visitor bypass collection ACLs.

API keys in frontend page code

Velo developers paste secrets into frontend $w.onReady handlers that ship to every visitor.

Members/PublicData over-permissioned

Default permissions allow anonymous read of member emails and profile fields.

Slow Core Web Vitals

Heavy framework (~1MB+ JS baseline), render-blocking fonts, and aggressive third-party app loading. LCP routinely exceeds 4 seconds on mobile.

Pages accidentally noindex

When toggled off the navigation, Wix doesn't surface this clearly. Sites lose traffic without anyone noticing.

Form data exposed via Velo backend functions

Backend functions are callable by any client without origin verification.

Predictable file URLs

Uploads to Wix Media often have guessable paths. Private uploads aren't actually private.

What a Wix Security Review covers

Authentication and authorization audit (specific to Wix's patterns)

Secret exposure scan (env vars, client bundles, git history)

Database and data-access review (RLS, privacy rules, ACLs)

External integration security (Stripe, OAuth, file uploads)

Input validation and output encoding review

Severity-ranked written report with file:line citations
