Why this score?
Threat providers were unavailable. The neutral uncertainty baseline is not a clean verdict.
Domain registration age and expiry were checked.
Observed DNS records and network address were checked.
Observed certificate validity and TLS protocol were checked.
Observed security header values were checked for basic protective settings. Empty values, disabled HSTS and unrecognized values receive no credit. This is not a complete browser-policy validation.
Observed site metadata and About page were checked. Publisher-supplied details are not independently verified.
Popularity is weak context, not proof of safety. Unranked sites use a neutral baseline.
Observed HTTP status and final connection scheme were checked.
Server-side analysis
Automated security checks
Local HTML checks are unavailable for this report. A new scan can collect them if the homepage is accessible.
External threat intelligence
Local checks do not query external reputation databases. An unavailable check is never a clean result.

A compact view of the connection, DNS and security surface. These observations describe what the scanner could verify at scan time and do not prove ownership or ongoing availability.

These counters describe the fetched response and sampled HTML. Script counts describe references in the markup, not a complete browser network log. Cookie counts cover observed response headers.

DNS footprint
DNSKEY presence does not verify the DNSSEC signature chain. Missing records can mean no record was returned or the lookup was unavailable.
