Website malware detection and cleanup service
What is Sucuri SiteCheck?
Sucuri SiteCheck is a free, browser-based external malware and blacklist scanner focused on detecting injected content, website defacements, and known malware signatures in the rendered HTML of a page. It is widely used by WordPress site owners for quick surface-level checks. However, it does not perform security configuration analysis, header inspection, authentication testing, or compliance mapping — it only detects malware after infection.
Sucuri SiteCheck is best suited for: Website owners who have already experienced a compromise or malware injection. Pricing typically starts at SiteCheck: free / Sucuri Platform: from $199.99/yr.
