- HTTPS certificateCertainly10/10
HTTPS with a valid certificate from Certainly.

HSTS tells browsers to use HTTPS only, for 1 year.
- 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 servers54/4
5 name servers for the domain.
- Name servers answer5/55/5
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~all4/5
SPF lists the servers allowed to send its mail and marks the rest as suspicious (~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
81/100B- Framing0/2
Any site can show its pages in a frame, which enables clickjacking.
- Referrer-Policy0/0.5
No Referrer-Policy of its own (browsers' default applies).
- Permissions-Policy0/0.5
No Permissions-Policy: embedded content may ask for camera, microphone or location.
- Content Security Policy3/3
A Content Security Policy limits which scripts the pages run.
- X-Content-Type-Options2/2
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff stops browsers guessing file types.
- IPv64/4
open.spotify.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
100/100A+- DNS providersNS1, Google Cloud DNS5/5
DNS is served by 2 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.
