debian.net

We performed a comprehensive analysis of debian.net on 2026-07-02. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 23341ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 15 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 80/100 (good). The following security headers are properly configured: Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy. However, the site is missing Content-Security-Policy, which could expose the site and its users to cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, and other web-based attacks. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, debian.net receives an overall trust score of 69/100, classified as "Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, debian.net receives a trust score of 69/100, 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, DNSSEC providing authenticated DNS responses, and a well-established domain registered for over 28.2 years, indicating long-term commitment and legitimacy. Areas of concern include: the absence of a Content-Security-Policy header, which leaves the site more vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and the domain's WHOIS information is hidden behind a privacy service, making it harder to verify the owner's identity. While these issues don't necessarily indicate malicious intent, they represent areas where the website's security posture could be improved. We checked debian.net 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. The domain is registered through Gandi SAS based in GR, with a registration date of 1998-05-01 and expiration date of 2027-04-30.

Our automated technology detection scan was unable to identify specific technologies on debian.net. This could indicate that the site uses server-side rendering without client-side technology fingerprints, employs aggressive code obfuscation, or uses custom-built solutions that don't match known technology signatures.

debian.net delivers its homepage in 23341ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 15 KB, and we detected 67 resource requests loading assets from 8 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 4 CSS files and 0 out of 0 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 4 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 debian.net produces approximately 0.01g 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 15 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for debian.net. 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.

debian.net resolves to the IPv4 address 194.177.211.216 and also supports IPv6 (2001:67c:2564:a119::77), demonstrating modern network infrastructure readiness. The domain has 3 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 4 name servers: dns4.easydns.info, nsp.dnsnode.net, sec1.rcode0.net, and sec2.rcode0.net. 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 debian.net is handled by debian.org with 3 MX records configured: mailly.debian.org, mitropoulos.debian.org, and muffat.debian.org. Multiple MX records provide failover redundancy — if the primary mail server is unavailable, email will be routed to the next available server. SPF is not configured, meaning any server could potentially send emails pretending to be from this domain. This is a significant email security concern. 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 enabled for debian.net, providing an additional layer of security by cryptographically signing DNS records. This prevents DNS cache poisoning and man-in-the-middle attacks that could redirect visitors to malicious websites. The domain is registered through Gandi SAS (GR). It was first registered on 1998-05-01 and is set to expire on 2027-04-30, making it 28.2 years old. Our subdomain enumeration scan discovered 2 active subdomains for debian.net: cdn.debian.net and www.debian.net. Active subdomains can reveal the organization's infrastructure, including development environments, API endpoints, and third-party service integrations.

The homepage of debian.net contains 276 words of visible text content. This is a relatively short page — adding more descriptive content could improve search engine visibility. The page is structured with 11 H2 headings, 6 H3 headings, 0 H4 headings. The page includes 16 images. 8 images (50%) are missing alt text attributes, which is a significant concern for both accessibility and SEO. Screen readers rely on alt text to describe images to visually impaired users, and search engines use alt text to understand image content. Only 50% of images have proper alt text — we recommend adding descriptive alt attributes to all images.

The length falls within the ideal range for Google search results, ensuring the full title is displayed without truncation. No meta description is configured for debian.net.
