Astra’s Website Blacklist Scanner: A Comprehensive Review

Have you ever tried to access a website but instead got a warning against malware deception or phishing?

This red, flashy warning comes from the search engine. Search engines like Google, Bing, Safari, etc blacklist websites if a threat is detected. Some of the threats are:

  • Scam
  • Malicious activities
  • Fake Anti-Virus
  • Unwanted program download
  • Faulty or vulnerable plugins
  • Phishing activities
  • Plagiarized content
  • Blackhat SEO

Therefore, once a website is hacked, the search engine categorizes it as dangerous and produces a warning to the visitors. This could happen to any website. As a website owner, you need to know how to identify blacklisting and get your website out of it.

How to do a website blacklist check?

One way of checking for blacklisting is by simply looking up the website on the search engine. The warning pops up instead of directing you to your website. Apart from this, there are some symptoms you can look out for:

  • The antivirus program blocks a part of your website
  • The hosting server suspends and disables your account out of the blue
  • SEO spam keywords and external redirects
  • Changes in the database and appearance of new files

While being blacklisted, you’re likely to lose customers as users cannot directly access the website. They met with a warning instead, and this might scare them from trying any time later.

Usually, cleaning up the malware and infected files on your website and then submitting a report to the search engine will get you off the hook.

However, this manual method is not nearly as efficient as an automated one. This is where a website blacklist scanner comes into the picture. A website blacklist scanner scans the website to detect whether it was blocked on any search engine. Today, we’re reviewing Astra Security’s blacklist scanner. Let’s find out what it has to offer.
