Sucuri
Website security platform — malware scan, WAF, hack cleanup. Free scanner, paid protection.
Free tier: free site security scanner
What it does well
- Unlimited malware and hack cleanup is included in all paid annual plans.
- The Web Application Firewall (WAF) effectively blocks common attacks like SQL injections and XSS.
- Provides a virtual private network (VPN) and a content delivery network (CDN) for performance.
Where it falls short
- The free scanner only checks externally and cannot detect server-side infections.
- The core WAF and cleanup services are not available without a paid subscription.
- SSL certificate support on the WAF is included, but custom certificates require higher-tier plans.
