vs Sucuri
SafeToShip vs Sucuri: malware scanner vs vibe-coder security
Sucuri for WordPress malware. SafeToShip for Lovable/Bolt/Cursor security.
Sucuri SiteCheck is the go-to free scanner for WordPress malware, blacklist status, and outdated CMS detection. If you run a WordPress site and worry about defacement or SEO blacklists, Sucuri is the right tool. SafeToShip targets a different stack — modern JS apps built with AI tools — and a different threat model: leaked API keys in client bundles, missing security headers, open Supabase RLS, exposed config files.

When to choose Sucuri
Choose Sucuri if your site runs on WordPress, Joomla, or another PHP CMS and you are worried about malware, defacement, or SEO blacklists. Sucuri’s free SiteCheck is also excellent for confirming a site has not been compromised.
When to choose SafeToShip
Choose SafeToShip if your stack is React/Next.js/Astro/Vue, you use Supabase or Firebase, you ship through Vercel/Netlify, and the issues you worry about are leaked API keys, missing CSP, open RLS, exposed config — not WordPress plugin malware.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Can I run Sucuri SiteCheck on a Lovable app?
- You can, and it will return mostly clean results because SiteCheck does not look for the issues that affect modern JS apps (bundle secrets, RLS, CORS misconfig). Run both tools if your site touches WordPress and modern JS.
- Does SafeToShip check for malware?
- No — we are not a malware scanner. We do not look for known bad signatures or defacement. Pair us with Sucuri or a runtime AV if malware is a concern.
