bhf.org.uk

We performed a comprehensive analysis of bhf.org.uk on 2026-06-28. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 26441ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 120 KB, and the site is served behind a CDN (Content Delivery Network). Warning: The website does not have a valid SSL certificate. Visitors may see security warnings in their browser, and data transmitted to and from this website is not encrypted. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 85/100 (good). The following security headers are properly configured: Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy. However, the site is missing X-Frame-Options, which could expose the site and its users to cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, and other web-based attacks. Our technology detection scan identified 2 technologies across 2 categories powering bhf.org.uk. The detected stack includes Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, bhf.org.uk receives an overall trust score of 77/100, classified as "Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, bhf.org.uk receives a trust score of 77/100, which places it in the "Likely Safe" category. This score is calculated by evaluating multiple factors including SSL certificate validity, domain registration history, email authentication protocols, security header configuration, and blacklist status across major threat intelligence databases. The analysis identified several positive trust signals: a valid HTTPS connection protecting data in transit, HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) enforcement preventing protocol downgrade attacks, SPF (Sender Policy Framework) email authentication preventing email spoofing, DMARC email authentication with a reject policy — the strongest available setting, and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) providing cryptographic email verification. Areas of concern include: no X-Frame-Options header, which could allow the site to be embedded in malicious iframes (clickjacking), the domain's WHOIS information is hidden behind a privacy service, making it harder to verify the owner's identity, and DNSSEC is not enabled, leaving DNS queries vulnerable to spoofing attacks. While these issues don't necessarily indicate malicious intent, they represent areas where the website's security posture could be improved. We checked bhf.org.uk against 8 major blacklist databases including Google Safe Browsing, Phishtank, Urlhaus, Openphish, Dnsfilter, Spamhaus Dbl, Surbl, and Virustotal. The domain passed all 8 checks with a clean status, meaning it has not been flagged for phishing, malware distribution, spam, or other malicious activities by any of the tested threat intelligence providers.

bhf.org.uk delivers its homepage in 26441ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 120 KB, and we detected 215 resource requests loading assets from 7 third-party domains. A high number of third-party domains can significantly impact page load time due to additional DNS lookups and TLS handshakes required for each domain. The website uses Gzip compression for text-based assets, achieving an estimated 60.0% reduction in transfer size. This reduces bandwidth usage and improves page load times, especially for visitors on slower connections. Asset minification status: 0 out of 3 CSS files and 0 out of 3 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 6 unminified file(s) could further reduce page weight by 10-30% for those assets. Minification is a best practice that reduces download sizes without affecting functionality. The site is served through a Content Delivery Network (CDN), which caches static assets at edge servers around the world. This means visitors from different geographic regions receive content from the nearest edge server, significantly reducing latency. CDN usage is particularly important for websites with a global audience, as it can reduce page load times by 40-60% for distant visitors. From an environmental perspective, each page view of bhf.org.uk produces approximately 0.06g of CO₂, earning a carbon rating of A. This places the website among the cleanest on the web, demonstrating efficient use of server resources and optimized content delivery. For reference, the average web page produces about 0.5g of CO₂ per page view. The page weight of 120 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for bhf.org.uk. This typically means the site doesn't have enough real-world Chrome user traffic to generate statistically significant field data, or the domain is not included in the CrUX dataset. Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) are important Google ranking factors that measure real user experience.

bhf.org.uk resolves to the IPv4 address 104.20.39.113 and also supports IPv6 (2606:4700:10::6814:2771), demonstrating modern network infrastructure readiness. The domain has 2 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 2 name servers: udns1.cscdns.net and udns2.cscdns.uk. Having 2 name servers provides good redundancy — if one fails, the others can continue serving DNS queries. The choice of name servers often indicates the DNS hosting provider or CDN service being used. Email for bhf.org.uk is handled by Microsoft 365 with 1 MX records configured: bhf-org-uk.mail.protection.outlook.com. Multiple MX records provide failover redundancy — if the primary mail server is unavailable, email will be routed to the next available server. SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is configured, which specifies which mail servers are authorized to send email on behalf of this domain. This helps prevent email spoofing and improves email deliverability. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) is configured with a reject policy — the strongest setting, instructing receiving servers to reject unauthorized emails entirely. DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is configured, adding a cryptographic signature to outgoing emails that receiving servers can verify to confirm the email hasn't been tampered with in transit. DNSSEC is not enabled for bhf.org.uk. While not critical for most websites, DNSSEC adds an important security layer by ensuring DNS responses haven't been tampered with during transit. Enabling DNSSEC is recommended for domains handling sensitive data or financial transactions.

The title tag for bhf.org.uk is too long at 80 characters: "The biggest independent funder of heart and circulatory research in the UK - BHF". At 80 characters, the title will likely be truncated in Google search results (recommended: 50-60 characters). Consider shortening it while keeping the most important keywords at the beginning. The meta description is 150 characters (well-optimized): "We support people living with heart and circulatory diseases. Thanks to your donations, we fund research to give them mo...". Google typically displays up to 155-160 characters of the meta description in search results. A compelling meta description with a clear call-to-action can significantly improve click-through rates from search results. The canonical url is correctly set to https://www.bhf.org.uk/, preventing duplicate content issues, the page language is declared as en, and a favicon is configured. Open Graph meta tags are configured with 4/4 recommended fields: OG title ("BHF is funding urgently needed research..."), OG description, OG image (social sharing thumbnail), OG type (website). These tags control how the page appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social media platforms that support the Open Graph protocol.
