Protection that works
in the background.

Your website is served through our hosting network. Some protections run automatically; other checks can be turned on from your website dashboard when your domain supports them.

Core safeguards, already in place.

  • Traffic flood protection. Our hosting network looks for large traffic floods and helps absorb them before they overwhelm your website.
  • Rules against common web attacks. On eligible domain plans, managed firewall rules look for requests that match known web attacks and block them. The available rules depend on the plan.
  • Spam and repeat-submit controls. Jaybird-managed contact forms include rate limits and hidden spam traps. Forms hosted by another service keep that provider’s protections.

  • Redirect visitors to HTTPS

    Send visitors who arrive over an unsecured HTTP link to the secure HTTPS address. Older integrations using HTTP may need updating.

  • Repair secure page links

    Rewrite eligible image, script, and resource links from HTTP to HTTPS when a secure version is available.

  • Use TLS 1.3

    Use the modern encryption protocol when a visitor’s browser supports it, without changing the site’s minimum TLS version.

  • Check browser integrity

    Check request headers commonly abused by spam and bot traffic. Unusual browser setups and automated tools may be challenged.

  • Challenge suspicious bots

    Ask traffic that matches known automated-bot patterns to prove it is a real visitor. This affects the whole domain and may also challenge API clients or monitoring tools.

  • Verify managed forms

    Add a form check to supported managed forms. Most visitors pass without solving a puzzle; some may be asked to confirm they are human.

Protection availability depends on your domain plan and site setup. Your dashboard shows what is active and explains what may change for visitors before you enable an optional setting.
