About
Sucuri SiteCheck is a remote website security scanner that checks a URL from the browser side for known malware, viruses, blacklisting status, website errors, out-of-date software, malicious code, redirects, iframes, JavaScript, and spam. It also reports security anomalies, configuration issues, and recommendations based on the visible source code.
The free scanner is limited to what is visible at the browser level and does not inspect server-side files. The pricing page positions SiteCheck as part of Sucuri’s broader website security platform, which includes malware removal, website firewall protection, and monitoring for one site per plan on the paid platform tiers.
- Remote browser-level URL scanning
- Malware and virus detection
- Blacklist status checks
- Out-of-date CMS and plugin checks
- Security issue and anomaly detection
- Browser-visible source code analysis
- No server-side file inspection
Free Tier Value
This free tier is a perpetual, no-signup website checker with no usage cap, but it only provides remote browser-level scanning rather than the deeper paid cleanup and monitoring services. Compared with the cheapest paid plan at about $19.08/month, the practical value is modest - roughly 10% of that plan - so about $2/month is a fair estimate.
