What is a website trust checker?

A website trust checker looks at the public signals behind a site - how old its domain is, whether its SSL certificate is valid, how its email and security are set up, and whether it tells you who runs it - and turns them into a trust score. It helps you spot a risky online shop or phishing page before you pay or type in personal details.

How to check if a website is legit

  1. Enter the website address (for example shop-example.com) in the box above.
  2. Click Check Trust and wait a few seconds while each signal is checked.
  3. Read the verdict and trust score, then the positive and negative highlights.
  4. Open the detailed review for domain, security and contact information.
  5. If anything looks wrong, search for independent reviews before paying - or report the result to us.

The trust score is an automated reading of public technical signals, not a guarantee. A good score does not prove a business is honest, and a low score does not prove fraud - always look for independent reviews before paying an unknown website.

Frequently Asked Questions

It combines public signals into a score out of 100: how long the domain has been registered, whether the SSL certificate is valid, whether the site loads over HTTPS with security headers, whether the domain has a real email setup with SPF and DMARC, and whether the homepage links to a contact page, privacy policy, terms and company information. Every signal is listed on the result so you can see exactly why.

No. A low score means we found few of the signals legitimate businesses usually have - for example a domain registered last week with no contact page. New and small businesses can score low too. Treat it as a reason to research further, not as proof of fraud.

Most fake shops and phishing sites are registered shortly before they are used and disappear within months, once complaints pile up. A domain that has existed for years has a track record; a domain a few days old has none.

Not necessarily. A valid certificate only means the connection is encrypted. Free certificates take minutes to get, so scam sites use them too. That is why SSL is only one of many signals in the trust score.

Results are cached for a short time so repeated checks are instant. Use the Refresh option on the result to run every check again with live data.

Use the Report button on the result to tell us. Most low scores improve once the site adds a contact page, privacy policy, a valid SSL certificate and SPF/DMARC records - check again after making those changes.
