What SiteLock Actually Does

Finds Problems Before Your Visitors Do

SiteLock scans your pages daily for malware, injected scripts and known vulnerabilities, and checks whether your domain has landed on a search-engine or spam blacklist. Most owners discover a compromise when a customer says the site looks strange or Google puts a warning in front of it — daily scanning is what shortens that gap from weeks to hours.

Removes What It Finds, Automatically

On the plans that include automatic removal, known malicious code is stripped out as it is detected rather than waiting for someone to read an alert. Scanning runs against your live site from outside, so it sees what an attacker or a search crawler sees, not what a plugin inside a compromised site reports about itself.

Shows Visitors The Site Is Checked

The SiteLock Trust Seal displays on your pages once scanning is active — useful on checkout and contact pages where a visitor is deciding whether to hand over card details. Pair it with CodeGuard backups so you can both detect a problem and roll the site back to a clean copy.

SiteLock provides comprehensive website security. It performs website daily scans to identify vulnerabilities or malware. When vulnerabilities or malware are found, you will be alerted immediately. Based on your SiteLock scanner, it will automatically remove any malware on your website. For content management system (CMS) websites, SiteLock can automatically patch found vulnerabilities.

SiteLock has the technology to perform a comprehensive website scan that encompasses:

File-based Malware Scanning and Removal: SiteLock performs daily scans of a website’s files for malware. If malware is found, the website owner is alerted immediately. SiteLock also offers comprehensive scans to automatically remove the malware.

Vulnerability Scanning: SiteLock performs scans of website applications for common vulnerabilities that could lead to a compromise.

Application Security and Vulnerability Patching: SiteLock has the technology to automatically patch vulnerabilities in content management systems (CMS).

A website vulnerability is a weakness or misconfiguration in a website or web application code that allows an attacker to gain some level of control of the site, and possibly the hosting server. Most vulnerabilities are exploited through automated means, such as vulnerability scanners and botnets.

Malware, short for malicious software, is used to gather sensitive data, gain unauthorized access to websites and even hijack computers.

No. During a website scan, SiteLock downloads the relevant files to a secure server and performs scans there. There is no impact to the website content, code, bandwidth or server resources on the website.

The SiteLock Trust Seal is a widely-recognized security badge you can display on your website. It is a clear indication that your website is secure and malware-free. To add the seal to your website, simply include the code snippet that SiteLock provides in the footer area of your website.
