What we check
We ask Google's Safe Browsing API whether your domain is listed.
Why it matters
A Safe Browsing listing puts a full-page red warning in front of most of the web's browsers. Traffic stops almost immediately.
Listings usually follow a compromise — an injected script, an abandoned plugin, a hijacked subdomain — and the site owner often finds out from a customer.
Recovery is also slower than the listing. Even after a successful review, the warning persists in caches and in some security products for a while — so the cost of a listing is measured in days of traffic, not hours.
How to fix it
- 1
Find and remove the malicious content. A listing is a symptom; delisting without fixing the cause gets you re-listed.
- 2
Request a review in Google Search Console.
- 3
Check the subdomains as well as the main site — a listing frequently comes from a forgotten host rather than the page anyone was looking at.
Common questions
- How long does delisting take?
- Usually a day or two after a successful review, but only if the content is genuinely gone.
- Why does a listing cap my grade at F?
- Because visitors cannot reach your site. Nothing else in the report matters while a browser is blocking the page.
- The section says unavailable. Am I listed?
- No — it means we could not reach the source. An unavailable section is left out of your score entirely and never counts against you.
