Approx. read time : 2 min

This article guides you on how to use the Dropmysite cPanel plugin to periodically check if your website has been added to the Google Safe Browsing blacklist.

Monitor Website Blacklist

Google Safe Browsing carries out the scanning process of the sites to check malware phishing content, and some of the web browsers use Google’s site blacklist to warn visitors about potentially unsafe sites.

Dropmysite incorporates a feature of Google blacklist monitoring. If the blacklist monitor detects that your site has been blacklisted by Google Safe Browsing, then it sends you an email alert so that you can take immediate corrective actions.

# Steps to add a blacklist monitor

1. Log in to cPanel account.

2. Locate the SOFTWARE section on the cPanel home screen, and click on Dropmysite:
