Scan WordPress for malware
Know what is on your site
Malware hides in plain sight. The scanner helps you find suspicious patterns, review severity and guidance, and act, clean, whitelist, or investigate.
- ✓ Clear results table with actions
- ✓ Whitelist when a finding is a false alarm
- ✓ Summary strip for last-scan context
Plugin integrity checks
Plugins from WordPress.org should match official checksums. Unexpected modifications are an early warning that something may be wrong.
- ✓ Compare against official checksums
- ✓ Flag suspicious folder structure when checksums are unavailable
- ✓ Include findings in scheduled reports on Pro
Better with firewall and core checks
Cleanup is step two. Blocking bad traffic and verifying core files reduces how often you need emergency scans.
- ✓ Cloud Firewall keeps attackers out
- ✓ Core Scanner verifies WordPress originals
- ✓ AI Advisor can include malware context on Pro
