The [MainWP Sucuri Extension](https://mainwp.com/extension/sucuri/) uses Sucuri’s proprietary SiteCheck Tool to scan your sites. Sucuri provides web-based malware scanning of your websites using the latest fingerprinting technology, allowing you to determine if your web applications are out of date, exploited with malware, or even blacklisted by popular search engines.

**Important Notes:**

Due to Sucuri's API TOS, we are restricted from offering a manual scan only. This means that your scheduled scans and scanning of multiple websites at once are not supported.

A Sucuri.net subscription is not required for this extension to function.
