Reputation ratings boost trust online

About Web of Trust (WOT)

In addition to viruses and malware, phishing, scams, bad online shopping experiences, and untrustworthy content are becoming increasingly widespread threats on the web. They can only be identified by human experience.

WOT widens the scope of Web safety from purely technical security to helping people find sites that they can actually trust. Based on ratings from millions of web users and trusted technical sources, WOT calculates the reputation for websites, using traffic light-style icons displayed via search results, social media platforms, webmail, and many popular sites. Green indicates a trustworthy site, yellow tells users that they should be cautious, while red indicates a potentially dangerous site.

Launched in 2006 as a free download, WOT rapidly became the world's leading community-based safe surfing tool, and is used by tens of millions of web users all over the world.
