Website Security Scan in Progress

Critical security issue detected

This Website Appears to Be Compromised

The scan found visible signs of compromise. A full investigation checks the server-side files, database, persistence mechanisms, and likely compromise path that an external scan cannot inspect, then cleans and verifies the site.

1
Malware & persistence removed

Malicious files, injected code, backdoors, rogue access, and other persistence mechanisms are identified and removed.

2
Root-cause investigation

Evidence around the compromise path is reviewed, and affected or vulnerable components are remediated when the findings support it.

3
Hardening, verification & report

WordPress security hardening is applied, the site is rechecked after remediation, and the work is documented in the final report.

Security Vulnerabilities Need Attention

The scan found vulnerable components or security exposures that could increase attack risk. A specialist can inspect WordPress internally, remediate the affected areas, harden the site, and verify the fixes.

1
Internal security review

Inspect WordPress components, users, configuration, and security-sensitive areas that an external scan cannot fully assess.

2
Vulnerability remediation & hardening

Update, replace, or remediate affected components and close unsafe WordPress configurations.

3
Verification & security report

Recheck the identified findings after remediation and document the work in the final security report.

WordPress Security Remediation

What the Online WordPress Scanner Checks

This online WordPress scanner analyzes what is publicly visible from the web, including malware indicators, vulnerable components, exposed files, redirects, and security configuration issues. No plugin or login is required.

WordPress malware detection

Analyzes publicly loaded HTML, JavaScript, and external resources for malicious code, suspicious scripts, and known malicious domains.

SEO spam and injected content

Finds hidden links, injected spam, cloaked content, and other SEO abuse commonly associated with compromised WordPress sites.

WordPress vulnerability scan

Compares identifiable WordPress core, plugin, and theme versions against known security vulnerabilities.

Domain reputation & blocklist checks

Checks whether the domain is flagged by supported security, malware, and reputation services.

SSL/TLS and security headers

Reviews HTTPS configuration and browser security headers for common security weaknesses.

Exposed sensitive files

Looks for publicly reachable backups, environment files, Git metadata, logs, database dumps, and other sensitive files.

Suspicious redirects

Detects unexpected redirects that may indicate malware, traffic hijacking, or another website compromise.

WordPress exposure checks

Reviews username enumeration, directory listing, exposed endpoints, and unnecessary information disclosure.

External scan limitation: Server-side PHP files, private filesystem content, database content, and malware that does not affect publicly reachable responses cannot be inspected without WordPress or server access.

The external scanner shows what is exposed from outside. SiteFort adds continuous protection inside WordPress.

Online WordPress Scanner FAQ

Common questions about the free online WordPress scanner, scan results, limitations, and deeper WordPress security checks.

Enter a website URL and Securewp analyzes publicly accessible pages, resources, and security information using normal web requests. No plugin, WordPress login, or server access is required. Because the scan runs externally, it can only assess issues that are visible from the web.

Yes. The online WordPress malware and security scan is free to run from this page and does not require software installation, a WordPress login, or account access.

Yes. The scanner is read-only and uses normal web requests to inspect publicly accessible content. It does not modify WordPress files, database content, settings, or website content.

It can identify known vulnerabilities when a WordPress core, plugin, or theme version is publicly detectable. Components that do not expose identifiable version information may require an internal WordPress vulnerability scan.

No. An external scanner can detect malware indicators that affect publicly reachable pages or resources, but it cannot inspect private server-side PHP files, database content, dormant backdoors, or other infections that do not affect public responses.

No. A clean result means no issue was detected within the areas the scanner could examine. Some vulnerable components, server-side malware, database changes, or configuration problems may only be visible from inside WordPress or the hosting environment.

The online scanner provides a quick external assessment without installation or access. SiteFort runs inside WordPress and adds deeper malware and vulnerability scanning, firewall protection, hardening, login security, and continuous monitoring.

Review the affected checks and remediate the underlying issue before scanning again. Vulnerable components should be updated, replaced, or removed, while configuration and exposure findings should be addressed based on the scan report.

If the scan finds malware, SEO spam, suspicious redirects, or other signs of compromise, deeper internal investigation may be required. Use SiteFort for internal WordPress scanning and ongoing protection, or Securewp's WordPress malware removal service if the site is already compromised.
