Re: Why is my website showing Warning Suspicious Site?

Your website has a Yellow rating for Spam URLs. The TrustedSource Explained document defines those as


Spam URLs



Links to web pages that arrive in unsolicited spam email.


Spam URL content ranges from product marketing to potentially offensive or fraudulent sites.


This category includes sites built only for spamming purposes such as spam blogs or comment spam.


According to Cisco SenderBase the site was sending out about 200,000 emails a day from February 1st to February 9th, which looks like some kind of marketing campaign. The volume of email has dropped back to nearly zero, but for those few days Cisco scored you at 4.1 on a log scale of 1 to 10. That might be a factor in your site's current rating : a score over 4 is enough to get you noticed.

In passing, you might also want to update the WordPress version used on the site from 3.8.5 to the current version, which is 4.1
