Summary of the Article:

How does Google know if a website is secure? When you go to a site that uses HTTPS (connection security), the website’s server uses a certificate to prove the website’s identity to browsers, like Chrome. Does Google check websites? Every day, we discover thousands of new unsafe sites, many of which are legitimate websites that have been compromised. When we detect unsafe sites, we show warnings on Google Search and in web browsers. Does Google protect you from bad websites? Google Safe Browsing: To protect you from dangerous websites, Google maintains a list of websites that might put you at risk for malware or phishing. Google also analyzes sites and warns you if a site seems dangerous. Can you check if a website is safe? “Https” in a website URL indicates that the website is safe to visit. The “s” stands for “secure,” and it means that the website uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption to protect your information. A verified SSL certificate tells your browser that the website is secure. What happens if you visit an unsecure website? Multiple threats may happen when you visit an unsecure website. Your personal information may be at risk or hackers can install malicious software on your device. Likewise, you might become a victim of a phishing attack, or others may track your behavior or consume your resources in their favor. What does it mean when Google says encrypted for your safety? To protect your privacy and security, if Secure DNS lookup is turned on, Chrome encrypts your information during the lookup process. By default, Secure DNS in Chrome is turned on in automatic mode. If Chrome has issues looking up a site in this mode, it’ll look up the site in the unencrypted mode. How often does Google check websites? It’s a common question in the SEO community and although crawl rates and index times can vary based on a number of different factors, the average crawl time can be anywhere from 3-days to 4-weeks. Google’s algorithm is a program that uses over 200 factors to decide where websites rank amongst others in Search. Are Google searches monitored? Google logs all of your search history, plain and simple. If you want to use any of the company’s services, such as YouTube, Gmail, and Google Maps, and have those services personalized, you must be signed in with a Google account. Is Google warning real? The Google Security Warning is a fake alert issued by malicious websites designed to trick users into making an unsafe decision online (like giving away sensitive information). While Chrome and Android devices have security alerts, they aren’t labeled as “Google Security Warning”. Does Google remove fake websites? Google’s policy for reporting fake websites: If the content is a serious violation of Google’s policies, then occasionally Google will manually remove it from Google search.
