We performed a comprehensive analysis of comparethatcruise.com on 2026-07-02. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 15794ms. The page is served over HTTP/1.1 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 234 KB. 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 0/100 (poor). No security headers are configured, which is a significant security concern. However, the site is missing Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, 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 4 technologies across 4 categories powering comparethatcruise.com. The detected stack includes Google Analytics 4, Meta Pixel, Google Fonts, and jQuery. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, comparethatcruise.com receives an overall trust score of 56/100, classified as "Caution Advised".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, comparethatcruise.com receives a trust score of 56/100, which places it in the "Caution Advised" 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 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, no X-Frame-Options header, which could allow the site to be embedded in malicious iframes (clickjacking), 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 comparethatcruise.com 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.

comparethatcruise.com delivers its homepage in 15794ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 234 KB, and we detected 93 resource requests loading assets from 3 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: 2 out of 3 CSS files and 2 out of 4 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 3 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. From an environmental perspective, each page view of comparethatcruise.com produces approximately 0.11g 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 234 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for comparethatcruise.com. 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.

comparethatcruise.com resolves to the IPv4 address 217.160.0.232 and also supports IPv6 (2001:8d8:100f:f000::200), demonstrating modern network infrastructure readiness. The domain has 1 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 4 name servers: ns1095.ui-dns.biz, ns1095.ui-dns.com, ns1095.ui-dns.de, and ns1095.ui-dns.org. Having 4 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 comparethatcruise.com is handled by Microsoft 365 with 1 MX records configured: comparethatcruise-com.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.

This helps prevent email spoofing and improves email deliverability. DMARC is not configured, leaving the domain vulnerable to email spoofing and phishing attacks that impersonate this domain. DKIM was not detected. Without DKIM, recipients cannot cryptographically verify that emails claiming to be from this domain are authentic. DNSSEC is not enabled for comparethatcruise.com. 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.
