deriv.com

We performed a comprehensive analysis of deriv.com on 2026-07-02. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 23872ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 210 KB, and the site is served behind a CDN (Content Delivery Network). The website uses a secure HTTPS connection with a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services (DV type). The connection is encrypted using TLS 1.3 with the TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 cipher suite and ECDSA-SHA256 signature algorithm. The certificate covers 1 domain(s) (Subject Alternative Names) and expires on 2026-08-16, which is 45 days from now. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 35/100 (below average). The following security headers are properly configured: Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) and X-Content-Type-Options. However, the site is missing Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-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 6 technologies across 6 categories powering deriv.com. The detected stack includes Google Tag Manager, Intercom, Datadog RUM, Amazon CloudFront, Google Fonts, and jQuery 3.5.1.. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, deriv.com receives an overall trust score of 77/100, classified as "Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, deriv.com 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, a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services with 45 days until expiration, SPF (Sender Policy Framework) email authentication preventing email spoofing, DMARC email authentication with a quarantine policy, DNSSEC providing authenticated DNS responses, and a well-established domain registered for over 29.9 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, 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, 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 deriv.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. The domain is registered through Nameshield SAS based in CA, with a registration date of 1996-08-14 and expiration date of 2035-08-13.

deriv.com delivers its homepage in 23872ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 210 KB, and we detected 276 resource requests loading assets from 16 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 3 out of 16 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 14 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 deriv.com produces approximately 0.1g 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 210 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for deriv.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.

deriv.com resolves to the IPv4 address 172.66.43.100 and also supports IPv6 (2606:4700:3108::ac42:289c), demonstrating modern network infrastructure readiness. The domain has 2 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 2 name servers: lola.ns.cloudflare.com and will.ns.cloudflare.com. 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 deriv.com is handled by Google Workspace with 5 MX records configured: aspmx.l.google.com, alt1.aspmx.l.google.com, and alt2.aspmx.l.google.com and 2 more. 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 quarantine policy — a moderate setting, directing unauthorized emails to spam/junk folders. DKIM was not detected. Without DKIM, recipients cannot cryptographically verify that emails claiming to be from this domain are authentic. DNSSEC is enabled for deriv.com, 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 Nameshield SAS (CA). It was first registered on 1996-08-14 and is set to expire on 2035-08-13, making it 29.9 years old.
