How do I improve my Google Discover eligibility?

Subdomain Malware Check —

How this works: Runs entirely on the server — no shell commands needed. Probes 30 common subdomain prefixes (www, m, blog, news, api, admin, cdn, shop…) using Node.js built-in DNS. All live subdomains are batch-checked against Google Safe Browsing in a single API call. Google Custom Search scans the entire domain for indexed spam pages. External redirects on subdomains (subdomain hijacking) are detected via HTTP HEAD requests.
