 * The plugin uses Sucuri’s SiteCheck to scan your website.
   [https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/](https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/)
   Unfortunately, the scanner only has access to what’s visible on the browser level,
   it will not detect anything on the server-side. To get a deep scan on the server-
   side, you will need the premium version to setup a server-side scanner to check
   for malware.
