What this website virus scanner checks
This free scanner runs the same first-line checks a security professional uses to tell whether a site is compromised or exposed. Enter any URL and in seconds you'll see:
Malware & phishing blocklist (Google Safe Browsing)
We check the URL against Google Safe Browsing — the same threat database that powers the red "deceptive site ahead" warnings in Chrome. If a site is distributing malware, hosting phishing pages, or pushing unwanted software, this is how you find out.
SSL / HTTPS & certificate validity
We confirm the site loads over HTTPS with a valid, trusted SSL certificate. An expired or missing certificate means data isn't encrypted — a red flag for visitors and a ranking drag in Google.
Security headers
We audit the HTTP security headers that protect visitors from clickjacking, content injection, and downgrade attacks — HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy. Most small-business sites are missing several.
Mixed content & fingerprint
We flag insecure (HTTP) resources loading on a secure page, and identify the server and platform (e.g., WordPress) so you know what you're running.
Honest limit: a web-based scanner checks a site's public reputation and security posture from the outside. It is not a substitute for a server-side malware removal scan of your actual files — if this tool flags a problem, you need someone to clean and harden the site. That's where we come in.
Why a malware scan matters for your business
A hacked website doesn't just risk your data — it destroys trust and traffic. When Google flags a site for malware, it shows a full-page red warning in search and Chrome, organic traffic collapses overnight, and Google Ads will suspend the account until it's clean. For a local service business, that's the phone going silent.
Most small-business sites get compromised through outdated plugins, weak passwords, or unpatched themes — not targeted attacks. The fix is ongoing: keep the platform updated, harden the headers, monitor the blocklist, and back everything up. If you'd rather not manage that yourself, our website maintenance and security service and web design team keep your site clean, fast, and protected.
Website virus scanner FAQ
Yes — 100% free, no signup or email required. Scan as many sites as you like. It's one of several free tools we publish as a Google Premier Partner agency.
It checks the URL against Google Safe Browsing, the threat database behind Chrome's malware and phishing warnings, and audits the site's SSL, security headers, and mixed content. Together these reveal whether a site is flagged as dangerous or left exposed to attack.
No web-based tool can — scanning the files on your hosting account requires server access or a security plugin. This scanner checks your site's public reputation and security posture from the outside, which is the fastest way to know if there's a problem. If something is flagged, you'll need a server-side cleanup, which our team handles.
A clean result means the site isn't currently on Google's blocklist and its public security posture looks healthy — a great sign, but not an absolute guarantee. New infections take time to be detected, and some malware only triggers for certain visitors. Ongoing monitoring and updates are the real protection.
Act fast: take a backup, identify and remove the malicious files, update every plugin/theme/core, rotate all passwords, and then request a review through Google Search Console to clear the warning. If you're not comfortable doing that, contact us — we clean, harden, and monitor sites for clients.
Yes, badly. Google can deindex or show warnings on a compromised site, organic traffic drops sharply, and Google Ads suspends accounts running traffic to flagged URLs until the issue is resolved. Security is an SEO and advertising issue, not just an IT one.
We keep an anonymous usage log of scanned domains (no personal information) to monitor and improve the tool. We only store your email if you choose to enter it to request a free review, and we never sell your data.
Yes. Beyond scanning, we offer website maintenance, security hardening, and conversion-focused web design for local service businesses. Book a free consultation and we'll review your site.
