Final score68/100 · SUS
goodSecurity· HTTP Response
+4 pts → 54

HTTPS Transport Enabled

Traffic between your browser and this server is encrypted over TLS.

The final page URL is served over HTTPS (https://techcrunch.com/).

Why it matters: Encryption prevents network eavesdroppers from intercepting your data or tampering with page content in transit.

Fix: Note that while HTTPS encrypts traffic, it does not verify whether the site's content or business is trustworthy.

goodSecurity· Static HTML
+4 pts → 58

No Credential Fields Detected

No password input fields were detected in the page HTML.

No <input type="password"> tags found in static HTML.

Why it matters: The page does not appear to solicit user account passwords.

Fix: None required.

warningSecurity· HTTP Header
-7 pts → 51

No Content Security Policy

No Content-Security-Policy header was sent by the server.

Content-Security-Policy header absent.

Why it matters: A CSP provides defense-in-depth against code injection and unauthorized framing.

Fix: Deploy a Content-Security-Policy header.

goodReputation & Domain· Domain Inspection
+4 pts → 55

Normal Domain Pattern

The domain uses a standard top-level domain and natural length.

Host 'techcrunch.com' exhibits standard naming structure.

Why it matters: Domain structure conforms to typical human-selected naming conventions.

Fix: None required.

goodContent· Static HTML Content
+4 pts → 59

No Scam Keywords Detected

We did not find aggressive pressure tactics or typical prize scam language.

Zero tracked high-pressure scam keyword phrases matched.

Why it matters: The text does not show obvious automated scam indicators.

Fix: None required.

warningtopic· Static HTML Content
-4 pts → 55

Appears to be crypto-related

The page contains terminology associated with crypto services.

Occurrences: &#039;crypto&#039; x3, &#039;blockchain&#039; x2. Page title: "TechCrunch | Startup and Technology News".

Why it matters: Helps contextualize what category of service this website offers.

Fix: Verify that this topic matches what you expected at this web address.

goodtopic· Static HTML Content
+4 pts → 59

Appears to be news-related

The page contains terminology associated with news services.

Occurrences: &#039;headlines&#039; x1, &#039;subscribe&#039; x2. Page title: "TechCrunch | Startup and Technology News".

Why it matters: Helps contextualize what category of service this website offers.

Fix: Verify that this topic matches what you expected at this web address.

warningSecurity· HTTP Header
-3 pts → 56

Short HSTS Duration

HSTS is present but has a short duration.

Strict-Transport-Security max-age is only 300 seconds.

Why it matters: Short max-age durations reduce long-term protection against connection downgrades.

Fix: Consider extending HSTS max-age to at least 1 year (31,536,000 seconds).

goodSecurity· HTTP Header
+4 pts → 60

Content Security Policy (CSP) Active

The site defines a Content Security Policy restricting resource execution.

Content-Security-Policy: default-src &#039;self&#039; *.techcrunch.com; frame-ancestors &#039;self&#039;; frame-src &#039;self&#039; https: data:; style-src &#039;self&#039; &#039;unsafe-inl....

Why it matters: CSP helps prevent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), malicious script injection, and clickjacking.

Fix: Maintain strict CSP directives without 'unsafe-inline' or 'unsafe-eval' where possible.

goodSecurity· HTTP Header
+4 pts → 64

MIME-Type Sniffing Protection

X-Content-Type-Options is set to 'nosniff'.

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.

Why it matters: Prevents browsers from MIME-sniffing a response away from the declared content-type, blocking script execution disguised as images or text.

Fix: Properly configured.

goodSecurity· HTTP Header
+4 pts → 68

Clickjacking Protection Configured

The site controls whether it can be embedded inside iframes on other domains.

Framing restricted via X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN.

Why it matters: Prevents clickjacking attacks where a malicious site disguises the page inside an invisible frame.

Fix: Framing defense properly active.
