What the Online WordPress Scanner Checks
The scanner examines a WordPress site from the outside using information available through normal web requests. It can identify signs of compromise, vulnerable components, unsafe exposure, and security configuration issues without requiring a plugin, login, or server access.
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
Looks for hidden links, injected spam, cloaked content, and other unwanted content commonly associated with compromised WordPress sites.
WordPress vulnerability scan
Checks identifiable WordPress core, plugin, and theme versions for known security vulnerabilities.
Blacklist and reputation checks
Checks whether the domain has been flagged by supported security and reputation services for malicious or suspicious activity.
SSL/TLS and security headers
Reviews HTTPS configuration and important security headers that affect browser-side protection and content handling.
Exposed sensitive files
Looks for publicly accessible backups, environment files, Git metadata, logs, database dumps, and other sensitive files that should not normally be exposed.
Suspicious redirects
Identifies unexpected or malicious redirects that may indicate malware, traffic hijacking, or another form of website compromise.
WordPress security exposures
Reviews publicly visible WordPress behavior such as username enumeration, directory listing, exposed endpoints, and unnecessary information disclosure.
Because this is an online scan, it can assess only content and behavior that are publicly reachable. Private server files, database content, and malware that is not exposed through web requests cannot be inspected. For deeper scanning and ongoing WordPress protection, use SiteFort. If a site is already compromised, Securewp also provides expert WordPress malware removal.

This website appears to be compromised.
An online scan can confirm visible signs of compromise, but it cannot inspect your server files, database, hidden backdoors, or determine how the attacker got in. A full cleanup addresses those areas to prevent reinfection.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about using the free online WordPress scanner, understanding scan results, and when a deeper security check may be needed.
Enter a website URL and Securewp analyzes the publicly accessible content, resources, and security information available through normal web requests. No plugin, WordPress login, or server access is required.
The scan is performed from outside the website, so its findings are limited to issues and information that can be detected externally.
Yes. The online WordPress malware and security scan can be run directly from this page without installing software or creating access to the WordPress dashboard.
Enter the URL to be checked and select Scan Now to generate the security report.
Yes. The Securewp online scanner is read-only and uses normal web requests to inspect publicly accessible pages and resources.
It does not change WordPress files, database content, settings, or website content, and no WordPress administrator access is required.
The scanner can identify known vulnerabilities when a WordPress core, plugin, or theme version can be determined from publicly available information.
Not every installed component exposes its version externally. A plugin or theme that cannot be identified from outside the website may therefore require an internal WordPress vulnerability scan.
No. An online malware scanner can identify signs of compromise that are exposed through publicly accessible content or website behavior, but it cannot inspect everything stored inside a WordPress installation.
Malicious PHP files, database injections, dormant backdoors, and other server-side infections may not be visible through an external scan.
For deeper inspection, SiteFort can scan from inside WordPress and inspect files and other site data that an online scanner cannot access.
A clean result means the scanner did not detect security problems within the areas it was able to examine. It should not be treated as confirmation that no security issue exists.
Some malware, vulnerable components, database changes, or server-side problems may not be externally visible. For sites that require deeper verification, an internal WordPress security scan provides broader visibility.
The Securewp online scanner provides an external security check without requiring installation or access to WordPress. It is useful for quickly assessing a website from the outside.
SiteFort runs inside WordPress and provides deeper scanning and ongoing security controls, including malware scanning, vulnerability monitoring, firewall protection, hardening, login security, and activity monitoring.
The online scanner is designed for external assessment. SiteFort is designed for continuous protection and deeper visibility from inside the WordPress installation.
Review the affected checks and address the underlying issue before running the scan again to confirm the finding has been resolved.
Known vulnerabilities should generally be addressed by updating, replacing, or removing the affected WordPress component. Configuration and exposure findings should be reviewed based on the recommendation provided in the scan report.
If malware, SEO spam, suspicious redirects, or other signs of compromise are detected, a deeper investigation is recommended. SiteFort can provide internal scanning, or Securewp's WordPress malware removal service can be used for expert investigation and cleanup.
