All checks in detail

Technology
- Warning signServer protection settings The server sets only some of the common protections. Present: protection against embedding in other sites (X-Frame-Options) and protection against file type confusion (X-Content-Type-Options). Not set: enforced encryption (HSTS) and a content security policy (CSP). On its own this is not evidence of fraud.
- Warning signSocial media profiles No social media profiles are linked, or the linked profiles are unreachable. There is therefore no independently verifiable trace of the provider online.
- No issue foundServer location The site's server is located in Prague, Czechia. The location says nothing about where the provider is based.
- No issue foundEncrypted connection The connection is encrypted; the certificate was issued by ZeroSSL ECC DV SSL CA 2 and last renewed on 11 May 2026. You can verify this yourself via the padlock icon in the browser's address bar. Encryption says nothing about the operator's trustworthiness, though: a fake shop gets it free of charge too.
Checked, nothing found: Email setup of the domain, Other sites on the same server, Size of the website.
