Absolutely not. This online wordpress security scanner is completely safe and non-invasive. This security checker works similarly to how Google crawls your site by analyzing publicly accessible information without making any changes to your files or database.

The remote scanner will not:

1. Modify any files or content on your website
2. Slow down your site or increase server load
3. Access your WordPress admin area or sensitive data
4. Leave any traces or footprints on your server
5. Trigger any security alerts or affect your hosting account

The entire process is read-only and designed to have zero impact on your site's functionality or performance.

Securewp security scanner can identify a wide range of WordPress security threats including:

1. Malware infections: Backdoors, trojans, web shells, and malicious code injection
2. Vulnerabilities: Outdated WordPress versions, plugins, and themes with known security flaws
3. Blacklist status: Whether your site has been flagged by Google Safe Browsing, Norton, McAfee, or other security services
4. Security misconfigurations: Weak file permissions, exposed sensitive files, directory listing
5. Suspicious redirects: Unauthorized redirects that could indicate pharma or SEO spam
6. Defacement: Unauthorized changes to your site's content or structure

We continuously update our malware signature database to detect the latest threats targeting WordPress sites.

Securewp remote scanner and security plugins serve different but complementary purposes:

SecureWP Scanner advantages:

1. No installation needed: Scan any WordPress site instantly without access to the admin panel
2. Works on locked-out sites: Even if you can't access your site due to malware, we can still scan it
3. External perspective: Detects issues from an attacker's viewpoint that internal plugins might miss
4. No performance impact: Doesn't consume your server resources

Security plugins advantages:

1. Real-time protection and firewall
2. Deeper database and file scanning
3. Ongoing monitoring and alerts

We recommend using both: Securewp online scanner for quick external checks and diagnosis, plus a security plugin for ongoing protection.

If the Securewp external scan detects security issues, don't panic. Here are your next steps based on severity:

For low-risk issues (outdated plugins, minor misconfigurations):

1. Follow the specific recommendations in your report
2. Update your WordPress core, themes, and plugins
3. Implement suggested security hardening measures
4. Re-scan to verify the issues are resolved

For high-risk issues (malware detected, blacklisted, major vulnerabilities):

1. Take your site offline temporarily if actively compromised
2. Change all passwords immediately
3. Contact us for professional malware removal service
4. Don't attempt to clean malware yourself (it often makes it worse)

Our expert team can typically clean infected sites within 24-48 hours with our 30-day money-back guarantee if the malware returns.

Securewp remote scanner is highly effective at detecting visible security issues and publicly exposed vulnerabilities, but it's important to understand what a remote scan can and cannot do.

What Securewp remote scanner CAN detect:

1. Visible malware symptoms: If malware is displaying spam links, redirects, or injected content on your site's frontend, we'll detect it
2. Blacklist status: Whether your site has been flagged by Google Safe Browsing, Norton, McAfee, or other security services
3. Exposed vulnerabilities: Outdated WordPress versions, publicly identifiable plugins and themes with known security flaws
4. Security misconfigurations: Weak security headers, missing SSL, directory listing enabled, exposed sensitive files (like wp-config backups)
5. Suspicious external connections: Unusual scripts or connections to known malicious domains

What remote scanning CANNOT detect:

1. Hidden malware in files or database: Backdoors, malicious code in PHP files, or database injections that don't display on the frontend
2. Root cause of infections: We can detect the symptoms (like spam links) but cannot identify which vulnerable file or entry point allowed the infection
3. Server-level compromises: Issues at the hosting level, compromised FTP accounts, or server-side backdoors
4. Internal plugin vulnerabilities: If we can't detect which plugins you're using (some are not publicly identifiable), we can't check them for vulnerabilities
5. Zero-day exploits: Brand new vulnerabilities that haven't been publicly disclosed yet

The remote scan is perfect for quick health checks and catching obvious issues, but serious infections require hands-on investigation.
