Scorecard

Basic WOT Security Scorecard with no ratings

The scorecard contains everything you need to know about a website, domain name, or IP.

Scorecard colors

To help bridge across language barriers, colors are used for immediate identification of the overall Trustworthiness (safety) of a website. The color range is:

        Green

Highly trusted website, excellent ratings.

• No problems, this site has been reviewed by WOT Members to be a safe and pleasant experience.

        Yellow

Cautionary advisory, unsatisfactory ratings or mixed ratings.

• This may be perfectly harmless but proceed with care, this site could contain content not suited for all age groups, or it could be slightly misleading.

        Orange

Cautionary warning, poor ratings.

• This poor level of trustworthiness is the first to bring up the WOT Warning screen, or Blocking screen, when settings are at their default values. This website is not to be trusted. If you choose to proceed, do so with a high amount of care and concern; you have been warned.

        Red

Dangerous warning, very poor ratings

• Enter this website at your own risk, expect malicious behavior with possible worm, virus, Trojan infection, or a PHISHing scheme.

        Grey

Unrated website, insufficient ratings.

• There are not enough ratings to generate an overall trustworthiness score for this website, as referenced by the example scorecard provided.
