Ad Lightning

Ad Lightning is an ad quality and security platform that monitors and protects websites from malicious, inappropriate, or performance-degrading advertisements. The service continuously scans ads running on publisher websites to detect malware, auto-redirects, excessive CPU usage, privacy violations, and policy violations in real-time. Ad Lightning identifies problematic ad creative, tracks which ad networks or demand partners delivered the bad ads, and provides detailed evidence for remediation. The platform helps publishers maintain site performance by detecting ads that slow page loads, drain batteries on mobile devices, or create poor user experiences. It includes brand safety monitoring to prevent inappropriate content from appearing alongside publisher content, protecting both user experience and advertiser relationships. Ad Lightning provides alerts and reporting dashboards that enable ad operations teams to quickly block problematic ads and communicate issues to ad networks. The service helps publishers comply with regulations like GDPR and CCPA by identifying ads that drop unauthorized cookies or tracking pixels.
