### Get a Trust Seal to help bolster your credibility

Website Security includes a free, customizable 3D interactive Trust Seal that displays malware and firewall protection, as well as encryption status.

## What’s Website Security?

Website Security provides easy-to-use tools to help protect your site from the most common security threats. After all, your website’s the center of your business, your brand, and all the amazing things you’re bringing to the world. It deserves website security tools to help provide broad protection.

## Benefits of Website Security

### Show visitors you take your site’s safety seriously

All plans include an SSL Certificate within our Web Application Firewall (WAF), enabling HTTPS encryption. Plus, WAF is designed to intercept and examine incoming data and neutralize malicious code from hackers.

### Help prevent attacks and fix malware problems

Take a proactive, preventative approach to the safety of your website. The Website Security firewall helps block attacks while its malware scanner searches your site for malicious content. If found, we'll clean it up ASAP.

### Boost speed, encrypt data, improve search

SSL-encrypted sites rank higher in Google searches than those that are not, thereby improving visibility to potential customers. CDN helps ward off DDoS attacks and can boost your page load times by up to 5x faster by storing content on servers closer to your visitors.

### Website backup with one-click restore

With Advanced and Premium Plans, get daily, automatic backups** of your website. One-click restore lets you reinstate a clean version of your website with just a single click.

## Website Security FAQ

### What makes Website Security so simple?

Website Security lets you set up your site’s security scanning frequency, install your SSL Certificate and monitor your site for malware and other online security threats — all from one dashboard.

### Where can I find my SSL Certificate?

Your SSL Certificate is built into the Web Application Firewall (WAF) that’s included with Website Security.

### If I have an SSL Certificate, do I still need Website Security?

Yes — while an SSL certificate encrypts data being transmitted to and from your website, it doesn’t protect your site from other vulnerabilities, such as malware, SQL injections or DDoS attacks. By utilizing both an SSL and Website Security, you are taking steps to help protect more aspects of your site.

### How often does Website Security scan my site for malware?

Depending on your Website Security Suites plan, you can choose from a 30-minute, 12-hour or once-a-day security monitoring and scan frequency. If any malware is found, you’ll be notified immediately.

### How does a Web Application Firewall (WAF) secure my site?

A WAF is a cloud-based firewall service that screens and helps protect your real-time website traffic from threats like SQL injection attacks (malicious data that essentially tricks your site into doing something it shouldn’t) and DDoS attacks (crashes your site by overwhelming it with a flood of automated traffic). WAF only takes a few minutes to set up and is the front-line defense for your site in between Website Security scans.

### How does the Content Delivery Network (CDN) speed up my site?

A CDN is a network of servers around the world that deploy dynamic and static caching so that all content will render quickly and reliably. For example, if someone in Japan visits your site that’s hosted in the US, it’ll load just as quickly as a website hosted in Japan.
