CoreSpeed does not provide SFTP or phpMyAdmin as standard customer-facing access methods.
Both tools allow immediate changes to the live website outside of our normal testing, deployment, and recovery processes.
An SFTP change can overwrite code, delete files, introduce malware, or create differences between the live website and its version-controlled codebase.
A phpMyAdmin query can alter content, settings, users, form submissions, or serialized WordPress data across the entire website. Even a small mistake can have widespread consequences.
The concern is not whether someone is technically capable of using these tools. The concern is that direct production changes are difficult to track, validate, and reverse.
Our team can still complete file changes, database queries, search-and-replace operations, imports, exports, and other technical work. We simply perform those activities through a managed process that protects the website and creates fewer surprises.
