HTTPS & TLS

100/100A⁺

HTTPS certificateLet's Encrypt10/10
HTTPS with a valid certificate from Let's Encrypt.
Certificate expiry424/4
The certificate is valid for another 42 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.
HTTP → HTTPS3013/3
http:// redirects straight to https://.
HSTS180 days4/4
HSTS tells browsers to use HTTPS only, for 180 days.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3HTTP/32/2
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

DNS

44/100F

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 servers answer
The name servers could not be asked directly.
Name servers54/4
5 name servers for the domain.

Email

55/100D

SPF0/5
More than one SPF record, which makes SPF fail everywhere.
Merge them into one record.
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.
DMARCreject7/7
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fakes the domain (p=reject).
DKIMdefault2/2
A DKIM key is published (selector default), so its mail can be signed.

Web & network

78/100B

Content Security Policy0/3
No Content Security Policy: an injected script runs with the page's full rights.
Referrer-Policy0/0.5
No Referrer-Policy of its own (browsers' default applies).
X-Content-Type-Options2/2
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff stops browsers guessing file types.
Framing2/2
Other sites cannot frame its pages (clickjacking protection).
Permissions-Policy0.5/0.5
Permissions-Policy turns off browser features the site does not use.
IPv64/4
www.indiatimes.com is reachable over IPv6 as well as IPv4.
RPKIvalid4/4
The route to the website is RPKI-valid: networks can reject hijacked announcements of it.

Dependencies

60/100D

DNS providersAkamai Edge DNS3/5
All DNS is with one provider (Akamai Edge DNS): an outage there takes the domain offline, as Dyn's did in 2016.
One company for everythingAkamai: website, DNS3/5
Akamai runs both the website and the DNS: one outage there takes both down.

Who runs it

Website: Akamai
DNS: Akamai Edge DNS
Email: Self-hosted

What is graded

HTTPS & TLS · 25%

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.

DNS · 20%

At least two name servers that all answer and agree, DNSSEC, CAA records, and a registration that is not about to expire.

Email · 20%

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.

Web & network · 20%

Content Security Policy, nosniff, framing protection, Referrer- and Permissions-Policy, IPv6, and an RPKI-valid route (invalid means at most C).

Dependencies · 15%

DNS from more than one provider, and the website, DNS and email not all with one company.
