Technology
- No issue foundServer location The site's server is located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The location says nothing about where the provider is based.
- No issue foundEncrypted connection The connection is encrypted; the certificate was issued by Thawte TLS RSA CA G1 and last renewed on 8 April 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.
- No issue foundServer protection settings The server sets most of the common protections. Present: enforced encryption (HSTS), protection against embedding in other sites (X-Frame-Options) and protection against file type confusion (X-Content-Type-Options). Not set: a content security policy (CSP). On its own this says nothing about the provider's trustworthiness.
Checked, nothing found: Email setup of the domain, Social media profiles, Other sites on the same server.
