Domain Analyzer

What is a domain analyzer?

A domain analyzer is a tool that examines a website’s technical details. It looks at security, ownership, and server information. This can help you decide if a site is trustworthy.

Why should I use a domain analyzer before trusting a streaming or tipster site?

Before you sign up for a streaming service or follow a tipster’s advice, check their site. A domain analyzer tells you if the site is secure and who owns it. This helps you avoid scams and protect your data.

What does the tool check?

The tool checks several key areas:

• HTTP status and response time: Is the site up and how quickly does it respond?
• TLS certificate: Is the site’s connection secure?
• Security headers: Does the site use security measures like HSTS and CSP?
• DNS records: What is the site’s domain configuration?
• Registration details: Who owns the domain and when does it expire?
• Server location and hosting: Where is the site hosted and who provides the service?
• Platform fingerprints: Is the site built with WordPress, Angular, or another platform?
• Published schema.org types: What kind of structured data does the site use?
• Robots.txt rules: How does the site interact with search engines and AI crawlers?
• Third-party hosts, cookies, and trackers: Does the site use third-party services that could track you?
• Standard pages: Are about, contact, privacy, and terms pages present?

What will the tool not tell me?

The tool does not provide traffic estimates, domain authority, keyword rankings, or any SEO scores. These metrics cannot be determined by simply inspecting a domain. The tool also does not guarantee compliance with any laws or regulations.

What if a site blocks the check?

If a site blocks automated requests, the tool still produces a report. This report is labelled as blocked. It includes certificate, DNS, registration, and robots.txt information. However, it does not include any data derived from the page content.

Is my privacy protected?

Yes, your privacy is protected. Building a report involves querying the domain registry and a geolocation service. This is necessary to gather information about the site’s ownership and location. The tool does not collect any personal data about you.

How long are the reports cached?

Reports are cached for 14 days. This means you can view the same report multiple times within this period without generating a new one. This helps save resources and provides consistent results.

What does the tool show about server location?

The tool shows where the responding server is located. For sites behind a CDN, this is the CDN edge server, not the company’s actual location. This is important to understand when evaluating a site’s infrastructure.

How often is the domain analysis report refreshed?

When you use our free domain analysis tool, it’s important to understand how frequently the reports are updated. The tool caches reports to ensure quick access and to reduce the load on our servers. Typically, reports are refreshed every 30 days. This means that if you check a domain today and then check it again next month, you might see updated information based on the latest data available to us.

However, if a domain has recently been registered or if there have been significant changes, you can request a manual refresh. This will update the report immediately, though it may take a few minutes to reflect the latest information. Caching is crucial for maintaining the tool’s performance and ensuring that you can access the information you need without delays.

What does the registration date tell me about a site?

The registration date of a domain can provide some insights, but it’s not a definitive indicator of a site’s trustworthiness. A domain that has been registered for several years might suggest that the site has been around for a while, which could imply some level of stability. However, this is not always the case. Some fraudulent sites may use expired domains or change their registration details to appear more legitimate.

Conversely, a recently registered domain is not necessarily suspicious. New websites are created all the time, and many are entirely legitimate. Therefore, while the registration date can be a piece of the puzzle, it should not be the only factor you consider when evaluating a streaming or tipster site. Always look at other aspects, such as the site’s content, user reviews, and the results of our domain analysis tool.

What does it mean when a domain blocks AI crawlers?

Our domain analysis tool relies on AI crawlers to gather information about a site. If a domain blocks these crawlers, it can limit the data we can provide in our report. This is often done for privacy reasons or to prevent competitors from accessing certain information. However, it can also be a red flag if a site is deliberately hiding its details.

When a domain blocks AI crawlers, you might notice that some sections of the report are incomplete or missing. This could include information about the site’s server location, security certificates, or other technical details. While this doesn’t automatically mean the site is untrustworthy, it does make it harder to verify its legitimacy. In such cases, you might need to rely on other methods to assess the site’s credibility, such as checking user reviews or seeking recommendations from trusted sources.

It’s also worth noting that some sites use Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) which can sometimes interfere with the crawling process. In these instances, the tool might not be able to provide as much detail about the hosting location or other server-related information. Understanding these limitations can help you make a more informed decision about whether to trust a particular site.
