The checklist
9 signals, every single check
Our free legitimacy checker looks across every dimension that matters.
01
Domain Age & Registration
How long the domain has existed — older domains are generally more established.
02
Domain Ownership
Reads public WHOIS/RDAP records for registrant details and whether ownership is hidden.
03
SSL Certificate
Confirms a valid HTTPS certificate and flags expired, self-signed, or mismatched ones.
04
Security Headers
Looks for protective headers like HSTS and CSP that defend against common web attacks.
05
Popularity Ranking
Checks the site's position on the Tranco list of the world's most-visited domains.
06
Social Media Links
Detects links to major social platforms on the site.
07
Google Reviews
Detects whether the site links to a Google reviews or Maps profile.
08
Website Signals
Checks the title, meta description, contact page, mobile layout, and SEO files.
09
Known-Threat Blocklist
Cross-checks the URL against Google Safe Browsing's malware and phishing database.
Questions? We’ve got answers
Is this business legitimacy checker really free?
Yes — 100% free with no registration or credit card required. We provide instant scam detection with no hidden fees.
How accurate is your website trust score?
We analyze 9+ signals — including SSL validity, domain age, WHOIS ownership, popularity ranking, and a Google Safe Browsing blocklist check. No tool is 100% perfect, but combining them gives a strong read on trustworthiness.
Do you store my website search data?
We don't require an account and never store your searches or any personal information. To keep things fast, we do keep a short-lived, in-memory cache of public domain-registration data for up to 7 days — never anything about you.
What makes a website look legitimate vs. suspicious?
Legitimate sites tend to have valid SSL, clear contact info, an established domain, consistent branding, and positive reviews. Suspicious ones often lack contact details, have a brand-new domain, poor design, and unrealistic offers.
Can I use this for e-commerce scam detection?
Absolutely. Before buying from an unfamiliar store, it's a quick way to check the domain's age, SSL, ownership transparency, and whether it's flagged as a known threat.
