Setting up SMART Plus

Setting up SMART Plus was a breeze. It's a completely cloud-based product, which means all you had to do was connect your site with the webservers of SiteLock. SiteLock provides two options for this: through the SiteLock Plugin or through FTP.

The SiteLock dashboard provides a great user experience. It gives a security summary that lists all the scans and their results. You can click on any scan to find out further details, filter the results, perform scans, download results, and much more.

The dashboard also provides visitor statistics, showing the number of human visitors and bot visits separately for each date. This feature allows you to analyze my traffic in a better way.

Another interesting feature of SiteLock is that it allows you to add multiple users to your SiteLock account. This feature comes in handy when you needed to share stats with your team.
