When a site is attacked, only humans get through

A flood attack sends thousands of requests from hundreds of addresses at once: blocking them one by one is not enough. HT Guard then puts the site in "check mode": real visitors get through in a second, bots stay out.

Animation: an attack, HT Guard's reaction, then a real visitor.

Step by step

1
HT Guard spots the attackMore than 600 pages a minute from more than 40 different addresses: this is no longer normal traffic.
2
The site goes into check modeAutomatically, within a minute. Our team gets an alert by email and WhatsApp.
3
Every visitor is checked in a secondTheir browser does a small automatic calculation, no picture puzzle, then lands on the page they asked for. They are not checked again for 12 hours.
4
The bots stay outAttack bots don't pass the check: they no longer reach the site, which gets its speed back.
5
Ends by itselfAfter 30 quiet minutes, check mode switches itself off, with an alert.

Never stopped

The check gets in the way of neither your search ranking, nor your work, nor your sales.

Google, Bing and other real search engines: your search ranking is not affected
