WP Engine
WP Engine is a large managed-WordPress hosting provider that runs and maintains WordPress sites for its customers. ScanMalware detects it from WP Engine-specific headers and hosting signatures.
Managed hosting generally keeps the platform patched, but plugin-level risk and the site’s own content still apply — the host is not by itself a trust signal.

How ScanMalware detects WP Engine
WP Engine is detected by analysing the response headers, HTML markup, JavaScript runtime and asset URLs captured when ScanMalware loads the site in a real headless browser.
From any scan you can pivot into related signals — JARM TLS fingerprints, ASN ownership and BGP routing, certificate history, JavaScript analysis and the overall security verdict — to understand not just that WP Engine is present, but how it is being used.
