What Is SiteLock?
SiteLock is a cloud-based website security solution that proactively scans your website for malware, vulnerabilities, and security threats. SiteLock website security runs daily automated scans across your entire website, including all pages, files, databases, and applications, to detect and remove threats before they can harm your visitors or your rankings.
A compromised website can have devastating consequences: loss of customer data, blacklisting by Google, SEO rankings drop, and permanent reputational damage. SiteLock prevents all of these outcomes with continuous protection.
What Does SiteLock Do?
Malware Scanning and Removal
SiteLock scans every page of your website daily for malware, malicious code, and suspicious scripts. If malware is detected, SiteLock automatically removes it — no manual intervention required. This is particularly important for WordPress and other CMS-based websites that are frequent malware targets.
Vulnerability Detection
SiteLock checks for known software vulnerabilities in your CMS, plugins, and themes. It alerts you to outdated software that needs patching before hackers can exploit the weakness.
Website Application Firewall (WAF)
The SiteLock WAF monitors incoming traffic and blocks malicious requests before they reach your server. It protects against SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and other common web attacks in real time.
Blacklist Monitoring
SiteLock monitors over 35 blacklists (including Google Safe Browsing and Norton Safe Web) to alert you immediately if your website is flagged. Being blacklisted causes browsers to warn visitors away from your site, causing massive traffic loss.
Trust Seal
Websites protected by SiteLock display a trust seal that signals to visitors that the site is actively secured and scanned. Trust seals have been shown to increase conversion rates by building visitor confidence.
Who Needs SiteLock Website Security?
Every website owner should consider SiteLock, but it is especially important for:
- E-commerce websites handling payment information
- Any website that collects user data or email addresses
- WordPress, Joomla, and other CMS-based websites
- Businesses where website downtime would cause financial loss
- Any site where users need to trust you with personal information
