# Site security and violations

Yandex algorithms regularly check sites to ensure that search results include useful and secure pages.

The function of the algorithms is to reduce the risk of harm to users. If your site violates [Yandex Search rules](https://gs.yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/yandex-indexing/webmaster-advice.md) or uses fraudulent promotion methods, the algorithms may impose restrictions. These restrictions may affect the ranking:

* Of your entire site: If the violation relates to the parent domain, restrictions apply to all subdomains of the site.

* Of some sections of the site: Restrictions apply only to certain sections (for example, pages dedicated to a certain topic) and don't affect the entire site as a whole.

Search results may also display warnings about the site to users.

<!--Например, понизить позиции сайта в поисковой выдаче или показать предупреждение [системы активной защиты Protect](https://yandex.ru/support/browser/ru/security/protection).-->



## Where to view restrictions

You can view what [violations](#threats-web) were detected on your site, along with their descriptions and recommendations on how to remove any applied restrictions in Yandex Webmaster on the **Website optimization** → **Security and violations** page.


If **Website optimization** → **Security and violations** doesn't show any violations, it means there are no restrictions applied to your site or any of its sections.

To learn about violations the moment they are detected, [subscribe](https://gs.yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/service/notifications.md) to notifications.

If the algorithms detect a violation, you can find the details in **Website optimization** → **Site diagnostics** in the section with [errors](https://gs.yandex.com.tr/support/webmaster/en/diagnosis/mistakes.md#threats).

## How to lift a restriction

1. Open Yandex Webmaster and go to **Website optimization** → **Security and violations**.
1. Fix the [violations](#threats-web) on your site or some of its sections. 
1. Once you are done, provide a detailed description of what you've fixed in the violation description text box. If needed, attach proof. 
1. Select **Violation fixed**.
1. Click **Submit for review** and confirm. 

Next to the violation, you can see its status:

* **Submitted for review**: The site or some of its sections are pending review by Yandex algorithms.

* **Under review**: The algorithms have started reviewing the site. This may take up to 30 days.  

* **Restriction lifted**: The site has passed the review, and the threat warning in search results will disappear. Its ranking in search results will continue, with its position depending on how well it fits the user's query at a given moment. To make the violation notification in Yandex Webmaster disappear, click **Hide**. 

* **Restriction not lifted**: The review has been completed, but the algorithms still detect violations on the site or its sections. To submit the site for another review, you'll need to wait 30 days after you last attempt. During this time, the **Submit for review** button is disabled.
