Safe Browsing
In one sentence
Google's system for detecting malware, phishing and deceptive behaviour on a site.
Analogy Mental model
The hygiene rating in the window. A failing grade means it does not matter how good the food is, because nobody walks in.
In practice What you actually do
Check the security issues report in Search Console on a schedule rather than after an incident. Scan with a reputable service, keep the CMS and plugins patched, and remove anything you did not install deliberately.
Where people get burned Pitfalls
A compromised site is flagged with a full-page warning visitors cannot dismiss, and traffic reaches zero within hours. Recovery means cleaning the injection, requesting a review and waiting, often measured in weeks.
