How SiteLock Works: Behind the Scenes of 24/7 Website Protection

You’ve heard of firewalls, antivirus software, and SSL certificates.
But what about full website protection?

That’s where SiteLock comes in—an all-in-one cloud-based solution that keeps your site safe from malware, hackers, and blacklists. And the best part? It works quietly in the background, 24/7, without needing your attention.

In this article, we’ll show you how SiteLock actually works—step by step—so you understand what you’re getting when you activate it through PLiKhost.


🔍 1. Daily Malware Scanning

SiteLock runs automatic scans on your website files and databases every day. It checks for:

  • Infected scripts

  • Hidden malicious code

  • Spammy backlinks

  • Redirect malware

  • Defaced pages

Think of it as a daily “health check” for your website, ensuring nothing harmful has slipped in unnoticed.

🧠 Most attacks are silent—SiteLock finds them before they damage your site.


🧼 2. SMART Malware Removal (Auto-Clean)

If malware is found, SiteLock doesn’t just alert you—it can automatically clean it using its SMART (Secure Malware Alert & Removal Tool) system.

  • Replaces or quarantines infected files

  • Preserves your legitimate content

  • Fixes issues without breaking your site layout

🔧 No need to hire a developer or touch code.


🔐 3. Web Application Firewall (WAF)

The WAF is like a gatekeeper at your website’s front door.

It blocks:

  • Brute-force login attempts

  • SQL injection attacks

  • Cross-site scripting (XSS)

  • Bad bots and scrapers

  • Known hacker IPs

This means attackers are stopped before they even reach your site’s software.

🚫 No slowdown, no hassle—just clean traffic only.


🧭 4. Reputation Monitoring & Blacklist Alerts

SiteLock monitors whether your domain gets:

  • Flagged by Google or Bing

  • Added to anti-spam blacklists

  • Reported as unsafe

If this happens, SiteLock notifies you and provides tools to quickly resolve the issue and restore your SEO reputation.

📉 Don’t lose traffic because of a hidden infection—get ahead of it.


📊 5. Security Reports & Real-Time Alerts

All actions—scans, cleanups, threats—are logged in a secure dashboard. You’ll get:

  • Daily summary reports

  • Real-time email alerts

  • Status widgets you can embed on your website (to show visitors you’re protected)

🔔 Transparency builds trust—with both you and your visitors.
