butterfliesandmoths.org

We performed a comprehensive analysis of butterfliesandmoths.org on 2026-06-30. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 6196ms. The page is served over HTTP/1.1 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 1121 KB. The website uses a secure HTTPS connection with a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt (DV type). The connection is encrypted using TLS 1.3 with the TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 cipher suite and sha256WithRSAEncryption signature algorithm. The certificate covers 4 domain(s) (Subject Alternative Names) and expires on 2026-08-20, which is 51 days from now. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 30/100 (below average). The following security headers are properly configured: X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options. However, the site is missing Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy, which could expose the site and its users to cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, and other web-based attacks. Our technology detection scan identified 8 technologies across 8 categories powering butterfliesandmoths.org. The detected stack includes Drupal, Angular, Bootstrap 3.3.5, Google Analytics 4, Google AdSense, PayPal, jQuery 2.2.4., and Font Awesome. The site uses Angular as its primary framework. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, butterfliesandmoths.org receives an overall trust score of 68/100, classified as "Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, butterfliesandmoths.org receives a trust score of 68/100, 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, a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt with 51 days until expiration, and SPF (Sender Policy Framework) email authentication preventing email spoofing. Areas of concern include: the absence of a Content-Security-Policy header, which leaves the site more vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, missing Referrer-Policy, potentially leaking URL information to third parties, 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 butterfliesandmoths.org 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.
