HTTPS & TLS
91/100A- HTTP → HTTPS0/3
http://archive.org serves the site without encryption instead of redirecting to HTTPS.
Answer every plain-HTTP request with a 301 redirect to the same address on https://.
- HTTPS certificateGoDaddy.com, Inc.10/10
HTTPS with a valid certificate from GoDaddy.com, Inc..
- Certificate expiry1184/4
The certificate is valid for another 118 days.
- TLS versionTLS 1.34/4
Negotiates TLS 1.3, the current protocol: faster handshakes, forward secrecy always.
- Old protocols3/3
Refuses the retired TLS 1.0 and 1.1.
- Key strengthRSA 20482/2
A strong key: RSA 2048.
- HSTS182 days4/4
HSTS tells browsers to use HTTPS only, for 182 days.
- HTTP/2 and HTTP/3HTTP/22/2
HTTP/2.
DNS
64/100D- DNSSEC0/3
Not signed with DNSSEC: a forged DNS answer for the domain cannot be told from the real one.
- CAA records0/2
No CAA records: any certificate authority may issue certificates for the domain.
- Name servers64/4
6 name servers for the domain.
- Name servers answer6/65/5
Every name server answers for the domain, with the same version of the zone.
- MTA-STS0/2
No MTA-STS: mail to the domain can be read in transit by stripping its encryption.
- TLS reporting0/0.5
No TLS reporting: failed encrypted deliveries go unnoticed.
- SPF-all5/5
SPF lists the servers allowed to send its mail and rejects the rest (-all).
- DMARCreject7/7
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fakes the domain (p=reject).
- DKIMgoogle2/2
A DKIM key is published (selector google), so its mail can be signed.
Web & network
28/100F- X-Content-Type-Options0/2
No X-Content-Type-Options: browsers may run an upload as a script.
- Framing0/2
Any site can show its pages in a frame, which enables clickjacking.
- Permissions-Policy0/0.5
No Permissions-Policy: embedded content may ask for camera, microphone or location.
- IPv60/4
archive.org has no IPv6 address: IPv6-only networks reach it only through translation.
- RPKIunknown1/4
The route to the website is not covered by RPKI, so a hijack of it cannot be told apart.
- Content Security Policy3/3
A Content Security Policy limits which scripts the pages run.
- Referrer-Policyno-referrer-when-downgrade0.5/0.5
Referrer-Policy limits what other sites learn about where visitors came from.
Dependencies
100/100A+- DNS providerskjsl.com, Cloudflare, Self-hosted5/5
DNS is served by 3 providers: one can fail without taking the domain offline.
- One company for everything5/5
The website, DNS and email do not all hang on one company.

What is graded
A valid certificate (an invalid one means F), its expiry against its lifetime, TLS 1.3, no TLS 1.0/1.1 (else at most B), http:// sent straight to https://, HSTS, HTTP/2.
At least two name servers that all answer and agree, DNSSEC, CAA records, and a registration that is not about to expire.
SPF, a DMARC policy that rejects forgeries (none means at most B), MTA-STS and TLS reporting for domains that take mail, DKIM at common selectors.
Content Security Policy, nosniff, framing protection, Referrer- and Permissions-Policy, IPv6, and an RPKI-valid route (invalid means at most C).
DNS from more than one provider, and the website, DNS and email not all with one company.
