Sucuri
Best-known WordPress/CMS malware scan + cleanup. Free SiteCheck, paid Platform from ~$199.99/yr per site.
Free tier: free SiteCheck.sucuri.net malware scanner
What it does well
- Offers a free, public-facing malware and blocklist scanner for any website.
- Paid plans include unlimited malware removal and hack cleanup by their security team.
- Provides a cloud-based Website Application Firewall (WAF) to block common attacks.
Where it falls short
- The free scanner only checks externally and cannot detect server-side malware.
- Core features like the WAF and continuous scanning require a paid annual subscription.
- Pricing is per-site, which can become expensive for users managing multiple websites.
