Sucuri Sitecheck - WordPress Security Check
With the free Sucuri Sitecheck, you can have your WordPress website scanned from the outside for malware and spam.
In addition to the hosting provider, the CMS version is detected.
In addition, 9 major blacklist providers are checked for their domain rating. These include the following:
- ✅ Domain checked with Google Safe Browsing
- ✅ Domain checked with McAfee
- ✅ Domain checked with Sucuri Sitecheck Labs
- ✅ Domain checked with ESET
- ✅ Domain checked with PhishTank
- ✅ Domain checked with Yandex
- ✅ Domain checked with Opera
What makes Sucuri Sitecheck unique is that it can be used universally and is not limited to WordPress.
- (JavaScript) malware
- Spam hacks
- Defacements
- and server errors
are detected across CMS platforms with a high hit rate. Of course, this check is only performed from the outside and does not detect everything, especially when it comes to redirects dependent on the user agent and referrer.
WP Sec offers an additional security check for WordPress. Here,
in some cases the plugin versions and their corresponding security vulnerabilities are detected.
The Sucuri WordPress plugin
In addition to the site check, there is also a Sucuri WordPress plugin that offers some very useful features.

The plugin is now managed by GoDaddy. Better alternatives would be WordFence or NinjaScanner.
Sucuri has been active in the website security field internationally for years and, alongside Wordfence, which is fully specialized in WordPress, is well known to many.
