How to read this report
Safety Score evaluates observed signals. Evidence Confidence measures how complete, direct, fresh, and consistent those signals are.
No automated scan can guarantee that a website is safe.

Registrar and domain history
A reliable creation date was not returned by the registration lookup. The report leaves domain age unverified rather than guessing.
Connection and hosting evidence
The checked homepage returned HTTP 200 in about 1000 ms.
A valid TLS certificate was observed, expiring Mar 25, 2027.
Threat checks and score context
External malware-provider coverage was unavailable. The report does not treat this missing check as a clean result.
Safety Score: 65/100. Evidence Confidence: 70%. These measure different things.

Why this score?
Threat providers were unavailable. The neutral uncertainty baseline is not a clean verdict.
Evidence is unavailable.
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 antivirus and phishing checks
Sampled scripts and pages
Resource analysis incomplete
6 resources checked · 18 script links observed on the homepage. Partial resource coverage.
ClamAV inspects the fetched homepage HTML on our server. New scans also sample up to four linked scripts and two collected internal pages, with size and time limits. Scripts are not executed. Other downloads, private server files and logged-in pages remain outside this check. A signature match needs investigation and can be a false positive. No match is not a whole-site safety guarantee.
Exact hostname lookup uses a downloaded Phishing.Database snapshot. It does not send this domain to an external lookup API or mark sibling subdomains as harmful. Not listed does not mean safe. Snapshot age is download age, not proof that every entry was recently revalidated.
Homepage HTML only · Eight local rule families · local-security-v2
Checks use the fetched page and redirect chain. Scripts are not executed, forms are not submitted, and linked files are not downloaded. This is not a malware clearance.
Page resource inventory
Counts describe the sampled HTML, not every resource loaded by the browser. External resources are common and are not automatically harmful.
No listed local patterns observed. The limited rule set cannot detect every threat or behavior.
External threat intelligence
Local checks do not query external reputation databases. An unavailable check is never a clean result.

Domain email protection
Exact-host SPF and DMARC observations help the owner investigate email impersonation risks. They are separate from website malware checks and do not change the Safety Score.
What to do next
Review the records with your mail administrator. Inventory legitimate senders and test SPF and DKIM alignment before enforcing a stricter DMARC policy. Fix duplicate records and investigate overly permissive SPF rules.
This bounded check does not send email, probe SMTP, evaluate recursive SPF includes, verify DKIM signatures or apply organizational-domain DMARC inheritance. A missing subdomain record does not prove that no inherited protection exists. A DNS timeout is unknown, not an absent record. A policy record is not proof that messages authenticate successfully.
Responsible disclosure

No readable security.txt file was observed at the standard locations. This is informational and is not evidence of malware.
Browser protections
Security headers
Response headers
Cookie protections
Only cookie attribute counts are retained. Cookie names and values are never stored. These observations are not proof of compromise and do not independently change the Safety Score.

Technologies
Versions are shown only when publicly exposed by the page or response headers. An observed version is not, by itself, proof of a vulnerability.
JavaScript library advisories
4 sampled JavaScript files checked locally with Retire.js. Database snapshot: 2026-09-30T02:40:06.930Z.
No supported library version was identified in the sampled files. This does not establish that the scripts are safe.
A version match is not proof that the website is infected or that an issue is exploitable here. Owners should review the advisory, check whether their code is affected and test an update. Up to four external script files are sampled, not every dependency, inline script or dynamically loaded resource.
