Email security: SPF On, DMARC None.
No mixed content detected.
Looking at operator information together with trust metrics helps you judge brand/merchant consistency and the likelihood of long‑term operation.
Checking payment page security (HTTPS enforcement, form target host consistency, script integrity) along with customer support and return policy gives a more accurate sense of real‑world trust.
In parallel, applying security headers, automated certificate renewal, email domain protection (DMARC/TLS‑RPT), and removing mixed content will improve overall reliability and delivery/search stability.
Explanation — risks and areas to improve
Without HSTS, downgrade and man‑in‑the‑middle attacks can weaken HTTPS enforcement. Enable HSTS and prepare for preload registration.
Missing key security headers leaves the site vulnerable to clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and data leakage.
Without DNSSEC, trust relies solely on parent name servers and DNS tampering risks can be higher in some environments.
If DMARC is absent or set to p=none, protection against sender spoofing is weak. Consider quarantine/reject policies.
Without MTA‑STS, SMTP TLS enforcement is weaker.
Without TLS‑RPT, it is harder to collect TLS failure signals and operational insight.
Without security.txt, the vulnerability disclosure channel is unclear and response may be delayed.
Cookies without Secure / HttpOnly / SameSite can be vulnerable to theft or session fixation attacks.

Essentials
Threat insight
- Using invalid or expired SSL/TLS certificates triggers browser warnings and increases the risk of man‑in‑the‑middle attacks or confusion with phishing sites. Check certificate status regularly.
- Without HSTS, downgrade and man‑in‑the‑middle attacks can weaken HTTPS enforcement. Enable HSTS and prepare for preload registration.
- Missing key security headers leaves the site vulnerable to clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and data leakage.
- If DMARC is absent or set to p=none, protection against sender spoofing is weak. Consider quarantine/reject policies.
The risk score of this site is calculated by combining browser security headers, SSL status, mixed content, email domain protection (SPF/DMARC), redirect/obfuscation patterns, and the results of Google Safe Browsing and WebRisk. Several risk signals are present. Before making payments or downloading files, check HTTPS enforcement (HSTS), DMARC policy, and the presence of mixed content, and compare the site in a new tab with official accounts or in‑app links. Before entering payment or personal information, verify operator information (company/contact), HTTPS enforcement, DMARC/TLS‑RPT, and check for mixed content.
Deep scan (HTML / headers)
- Some cookie security attributes (Secure/HttpOnly/SameSite) are missing.
- The site heavily relies on third‑party resources.
For session/login cookies, always set Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite.

User scenarios
If you make a payment on this site
Some technical or reputation signals suggest caution. Check the address bar, HTTPS and browser warnings before entering payment details. Mixed or non-encrypted (HTTP) resources or weak TLS can expose payment data or session tokens on some networks. Missing or weak DMARC lets attackers send spoofed payment emails. Type the domain manually instead of clicking links in unexpected messages.
If you log in or enter personal data
Some script, content or header patterns warrant caution. Compare the login link with official sources before entering credentials. Missing cookie security attributes or cross-domain POST forms can make sessions easier to steal or misuse. After logging in, watch for unusual account or billing activity.
