Locks are as much about portraying security as they are about actually keeping people out.

Does your website have a leak?

As any developer knows, today’s websites and mobile apps can be complex beasts, with far more going on behind the scenes than the typical user realises. Central to getting the right functionality can be coordinating a range of sources to pull in content.
