When to use Sucuri

Use Sucuri when you need a WAF/CDN in front of a site, continuous monitoring for defacement or malware, or professional incident cleanup after a compromise.

When to use WP Triage

Use WP Triage when you manage many WordPress installs and need a comparable 0–100 score plus a ranked fix order so maintenance hours start with the most exposed site — including before an incident.

How agencies use both together

Sucuri answers “is this site being attacked, infected, or in need of cleanup?” WP Triage answers “which of our client WordPress sites should we harden or patch first this week?” Keep Sucuri on stores and high-traffic properties if that is the perimeter you sell; connect the same portfolio to WP Triage for risk scoring.

Common questions

Is WP Triage a Sucuri alternative?

No. Sucuri is a website security company known for CDN/WAF, malware cleanup, and incident response. WP Triage scores WordPress portfolios and ranks what to fix first. Keep Sucuri (or similar) for perimeter defense and cleanup; add WP Triage for triage across many installs.

Does WP Triage include malware removal?

No. WP Triage does not scan disks, clean backdoors, or reverse hacks. After an incident, use an incident-response or cleanup vendor. Then reconnect or resnapshot so the risk score reflects the repaired inventory.

Can I use Sucuri and WP Triage together?

Yes. A common pattern is Sucuri (or another WAF/CDN) on high-value sites, plus WP Triage to decide which client installs deserve patching hours this week.

WP Triage is a decision engine — it complements tools like Sucuri rather than replacing them.
