HTTPS & TLS
94/100A- HTTP/2 and HTTP/3HTTP/1.10/2
Only HTTP/1.1: no multiplexing, slower pages.
- HTTPS certificateLet's Encrypt10/10
HTTPS with a valid certificate from Let's Encrypt.
- Certificate expiry264/4
The certificate is valid for another 26 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 → HTTPS3023/3
http:// redirects straight to https://.
- HSTS2 years4/4
HSTS tells browsers to use HTTPS only, for 2 years.
DNS
79/100B- DNSSEC0/3
Not signed with DNSSEC: a forged DNS answer for the domain cannot be told from the real one.
- 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.
- CAA recordsdigicert.com, letsencrypt.org, pki.goog2/2
CAA records name the authorities allowed to issue its certificates.
- 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).
- DKIMsmtp2/2
A DKIM key is published (selector smtp), so its mail can be signed.
Web & network
56/100D- X-Content-Type-Options0/2
No X-Content-Type-Options: browsers may run an upload as a script.
- 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.
- IPv60/4
store.steampowered.com has no IPv6 address: IPv6-only networks reach it only through translation.
- Content Security Policy3/3
A Content Security Policy limits which scripts the pages run.
- Framing2/2
Other sites cannot frame its pages (clickjacking protection).
- 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.

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.
