The future of safe browsing
WOT combines machine learning algorithms with over 140 million website ratings and reviews from a global community of users that create a safety score for every website and app.
Based on a unique crowdsourcing approach, WOT collects website ratings and reviews – based on real experiences, from a global community of users.
The service then enables users to make informed decisions about whether or not to trust specific websites, apps and WIFI networks through real-time alerts and security warnings.
The community-powered approach enables WOT to protect users against threats that only the human eye can spot such as scams, unreliable web stores and questionable content.
WOT complements traditional security solutions that protect devices against threats such as viruses and other harmful software.
Based on a patented system, WOT systematically analyzes user behavior to ensure the ratings are reliable, accurate and constantly updated. In addition, the ratings are validated with trusted third party information, such as blacklists of phishing sites.

While you browse the web, WOT runs a safety check on the URL and matches it to our database of site security reputations.
Reputation icons are displayed next to search engine results, social media, emails, and other popular sites to help you make informed decisions online.
A red reputation icon indicates potential danger, an orange reputation icon indicates that you need to be careful and a green reputation icon means a website is safe.
For example, online shoppers who explore new sites may be concerned about which sites can be trusted in terms of quality of products and customer service. By using WOT they can check potential issues of unknown sites, read other people’s reviews and compare the reputations of different sites.
Today, WOT is the world’s leading crowdsourced website reputation service with over 140 million downloads worldwide.
WOT is powered by a global community of users that rate and review websites.
As a new user, if you come across a website without a reputation rating, you can ask the WOT community to review the site.
WOT also uses smart algorithms and human verification to root out attempted fake reviews making sure that your experience is genuine and unique every time.
It only takes a few seconds to download WOT to your browser or mobile device and rate a website to protect yourself and all other WOT users from online threats that anti-virus software can’t spot. Together we can make the Internet a safer place for everyone.
