Scanner That Checks
Every File
Most scanners only check known plugin files. We scan every single file in your webspace — including hidden backdoors, obfuscated code, and files that don't belong.

Surface-level scanners miss the threats that matter
Most WordPress malware scanners visit your homepage, check for Google blacklist warnings, and call it done. That catches maybe 5% of real threats. The rest are buried in files your visitors never see — deactivated plugins, uploaded scripts, modified core files, and backdoors sitting quietly in your /wp-content/ directory.
Our scanner connects directly to your server through a lightweight plugin and takes a full snapshot of every file in your webspace. Each file is analysed against our threat intelligence database, built over 12 years and refined across more than a million audits.
- Scans every file — not just WordPress core or active plugins
- Detects obfuscated code designed to evade signature-based scanners
- AI-powered heuristic analysis catches zero-day and novel threats
- Understands WordPress file structure — flags files that do not belong
- Instant results with specific file paths and remediation steps

How the scanner works
Three steps from sign-up to knowing exactly what threats are on your site.
Connect your site

Automated deep scan
Our engine takes a complete snapshot of every file in your webspace and runs it through 12 years of threat intelligence and AI-powered analysis.
Instant results
Get a full breakdown of every threat found, the exact file path, what it does, and step-by-step remediation instructions to clean it up.
What we detect
We look for every threat category attackers use against WordPress sites — not just the obvious ones.
Malware & Viruses
Known malicious code injections, obfuscated PHP, encoded payloads, and web shells that attackers use to maintain access long after the initial breach.
Backdoors
Hidden file uploaders, remote code execution scripts, and authentication bypasses buried in inactive plugins or renamed files your visitors never see.
Phishing Pages
Fake login pages, bank clones, and credential harvesting forms injected into your webspace to target your visitors without your knowledge.
Spam Injections
Hidden links, pharma hacks, Japanese SEO spam, and keyword stuffing buried in your content or templates that damage your search rankings.
Cryptominers
Cryptocurrency mining scripts silently using your server resources and your visitors' browsers to mine coins for attackers.
SEO Spam
Thousands of hidden doorway pages, cloaked content, and redirect chains designed to steal your domain authority and send your visitors elsewhere.
Built differently from the start
Every design decision we made was to find threats that other scanners miss.
File-level scanning
We inspect every file on your server — core files, plugins, themes, uploads, and anything else that does not belong. No file is off-limits.
12 years of threat data
Our threat intelligence database has been refined since 2012 across more than a million scans. We know what real WordPress malware looks like in the wild.
AI-powered analysis
Heuristic analysis catches obfuscated and encoded malware that bypasses signature-based detection. We find threats that have never been seen before.
Real-time alerts
Get notified the moment a new threat is detected, a file changes unexpectedly, or a suspicious login occurs. You know before your visitors do.
