Malware can silently infiltrate your website, compromising customer data, damaging SEO rankings, and triggering blocklist warnings that drive away traffic. Without proactive detection, threats often go unnoticed until it’s too late. Sucuri’s malware scanning tools help you identify early signs of compromise, such as hidden spam, phishing pages, or unauthorized file changes, so you can act before your site’s reputation and revenue take a hit.
Malware detection and scanning are included in all Sucuri Platform plans, giving you continuous protection with remote and server-side scanning, uptime monitoring, and customizable alerts. These features are trusted by developers, agencies, and SMBs.

Built for all platforms and custom sites
Sucuri offers two layers of malware detection to help you catch threats early. Remote scanning checks your public-facing site for visible issues like SEO spam and blocklist warnings. Server-side scanning goes deeper, inspecting your actual website files for hidden malware and unauthorized changes. Both are included in all Platform plans.

Server-side scanning inspects your website’s core files directly on the server. It identifies obfuscated code, backdoors, phishing pages, and file integrity issues that remote scanners can’t access. It’s essential for deeper visibility and stronger protection.

What is a website malware scanner and why do I need one?
A website malware scanner detects malicious code, SEO spam, and blocklist warnings that can harm your site’s performance, reputation, and search rankings. It helps you stay ahead of threats before they impact your visitors or business.
Can Sucuri scan my WordPress site for malware and SEO spam?
Yes. Sucuri’s scanner is platform-agnostic and works seamlessly with WordPress, detecting malware, spam keywords, link injections, and other threats that affect SEO and user trust.
What are Indicators of Compromise (IOC) and how does Sucuri detect them?
IOCs are signs that a site may be compromised—like suspicious file changes, unauthorized access, or phishing pages. Sucuri’s scanner uses advanced heuristics and threat intelligence to detect these early.
Will I be notified if my site goes down or gets blocklisted?
Absolutely. Sucuri provides uptime monitoring and alerts you via email, Slack, or webhook if your site is unreachable or flagged by blocklist authorities like Google or Norton.
Does Sucuri scan server-side files for hidden malware?
Yes. Our server-side scanner checks all files—including PHP, JS, and HTML—for backdoors, spam, DDoS scripts, and other threats that remote scanners often miss.
How often does the scanner run and can I customize alerts?
Scanning frequency depends on your plan, but alerts are fully customizable. You can choose how and where to receive notifications—email, Slack, webhook, or ticketing systems.
