Sucuri SiteCheck is an online tool to scan your website for malware, blacklisting and other malicious threats. Prevention is better than curing!<\/p>\n

You often won\u2019t notice, but websites are being attacked on a daily basis on many fronts.<\/p>\n

That also goes for yours\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

The online tool Sucuri SiteCheck is part of the company Sucuri, which helps clients keep their website safe from intruders. They can make your website hack-free again and help you with going up against large-scale attacks (DDoS).<\/p>\n

Aside from that, they have made a free online tool available, the Sucuri SiteCheck.<\/p>\n

How does Sucuri SiteCheck work?<\/h2>\n

It is very simple: You fill in your website\u2019s address in the input field, and press \u2018Scan website\u2019.<\/p>\n

The scan will then give you an overview of possible threats. Green means that nothing is wrong, yellow or red does.<\/p>\n

The yellow bar closely after \u2018Website Firewall\u2019 is a bit of a sales trick. It leads you to the services offered by Sucuri. However, it is recommended to consider also installing a firewall.<\/p>\n

\"sucuri-scan\"<\/p>\n

The scan is a snapshot of the state of your website, but it gives a good view of the possible problems.<\/p>\n

Sucuri Security plugin<\/h2>\n

If you want more control over the safety of your website, you can also download the Sucuri Security plugin<\/a>  for free.<\/p>\n

This gives an overview of the following cases:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. monitoring all security activities<\/li>\n
  2. monitoring of files<\/li>\n
  3. malware scanning<\/li>\n
  4. blacklist monitoring<\/li>\n
  5. Monitoring hacked messages<\/li>\n
  6. security notifications<\/li>\n
  7. Website firewall (add on)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can also watch a number of videos on the plugin page about how this works exactly. One of them is about monitoring activities:<\/p>\n
