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.
