🛡 Reputation Monitor
Domain reputation and blacklist monitoring for your WordPress site. Check your domain against 12+ blacklist providers including Spamhaus DBL, SURBL, SpamCop, Barracuda, Google Safe Browsing, and more. Get alerts when your domain is listed or delisted — all from your WordPress dashboard.
What This Solves
Being listed on a domain blacklist can destroy your email deliverability, damage your search engine rankings, and cause browsers to warn visitors away from your site. Most site owners only discover they are blacklisted when the damage is already done. Reputation Monitor checks your domain against 12+ major blacklist providers continuously so you catch listings immediately and can take action before they impact your business.
Who This Module Is For
Email Senders Who Need Deliverability
Blacklisted domains get emails rejected or sent to spam. Monitor your reputation across SpamCop, Barracuda, and Spamhaus to ensure your emails reach inboxes.
Agencies Managing Client Sites
Monitor domain reputation across all client sites from one dashboard. Catch blacklistings before clients notice deliverability or traffic drops.
E-Commerce & Business Sites
A blacklisted domain triggers browser warnings that scare away customers. Continuous monitoring catches listings before they erode buyer trust and conversions.

How It Works
Reputation Monitor uses DNS-based blackhole lists (DNSBLs) — the same system that email servers use to reject spam. When a domain is listed, a DNS query to the blacklist zone returns a positive result. This is the most reliable and real-time method for checking domain reputation.
