SECURITY INCIDENT DETECTED

This website is actively compromised and needs immediate cleanup.

A online scan only sees what is public. It cannot see malicious PHP in your files, injected rows in your database, or how the attacker got in. Those are what bring the infection back after a cleanup.

1
Infection and persistence removed
Malicious files, injected scripts, backdoors, and hidden access paths cleaned from files and database.
2
Entry point identified and closed
A senior analyst traces how the compromise happened and shuts down the vulnerable path, so it does not recur.
3
Environment hardened and validated
WordPress configuration strengthened, site verified clean, and a full report delivered.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about the Securewp online WordPress malware scanner, security checks, scan accuracy, and what to do if issues are found.

Enter your WordPress site URL and Securewp scans the publicly accessible parts of your website from the outside. No plugin, login, or WordPress credentials are required.

The scan checks for malware and suspicious scripts, SEO spam, malicious redirects, known WordPress vulnerabilities, blacklist warnings, exposed files, SSL issues, security headers, and common WordPress security exposures.

Because it is an external scan, it only analyzes information that can be reached or identified from outside your website.

Yes. You can run an online WordPress security and malware scan directly from this page without installing a plugin.

Enter the URL you want to check and click Scan Now to see the detected security issues.

The Securewp online scanner is read-only and designed to have minimal impact on your website.

It makes normal web requests to publicly accessible pages and resources, similar to a search engine or security crawler. It does not modify your files, database, WordPress settings, or content, and it does not require access to your WordPress admin area.

The Securewp online scanner can identify many publicly visible WordPress security issues, including:

  • Visible malware and malicious scripts
  • SEO spam and injected content
  • Suspicious or malicious redirects
  • Known vulnerabilities in identifiable WordPress core, plugins, and themes
  • Blacklist and reputation warnings
  • Exposed backups, configuration files, logs, and other sensitive files
  • SSL/TLS problems and missing security headers
  • Common WordPress configuration and exposure issues

The exact checks performed may vary depending on what your website exposes publicly.

No external scanner can see everything inside a WordPress installation.

Securewp is designed to detect malware, vulnerabilities, redirects, exposed files, and other security problems that are visible from outside the website. It may not detect malicious PHP files, database injections, backdoors, or other infections that never appear in publicly accessible content.

For deeper investigation, use an installed security plugin such as SiteFort, which can inspect WordPress from inside the site.

The Securewp online scanner gives you a quick outside-in security check without installing anything.

SiteFort runs inside WordPress and provides ongoing protection, including firewall controls, hardening, login security, vulnerability monitoring, malware scanning, bot protection, and other security features.

The online scanner is useful for quickly checking a website from the outside, while SiteFort provides deeper scanning and continuous protection from inside WordPress.

Start with the recommendations shown in your scan results.

For vulnerabilities or configuration issues, update affected WordPress components, correct the identified security problem, and scan the site again to confirm it has been resolved.

If the scan finds malware, suspicious redirects, SEO spam, or other signs that the site may already be compromised, a deeper investigation may be necessary. You can scan internally with SiteFort or use Securewp's WordPress malware removal service for hands-on cleanup.
