No automated scan can guarantee that a website is safe.

Independent evidence brief

What we observed about timeslive.co.za

Updated Sep 26, 2026

The latest scan examined 10 public pages on timeslive.co.za. Website descriptions below come from the site itself. Registration, connection and threat findings were checked separately.

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 9000 ms.

TLS validity was not confirmed by the available evidence.

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: 46/100. Evidence Confidence: 60%. These measure different things.

Latest recorded material change: The captured website appearance changed.

Server-side analysis

Automated security checks

Homepage HTML only · Eight local rule families · local-security-v1

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.

No listed local patterns observed. The limited rule set cannot detect every threat or behavior.

External threat intelligence

Provider coverageNot checked

Local checks do not query external reputation databases. An unavailable check is never a clean result.
