harvardartmuseums.org

We performed a comprehensive analysis of harvardartmuseums.org on 2026-06-30. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 10699ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 412 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 1.2 with the ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 cipher suite and ECDSA-SHA384 signature algorithm. The certificate covers 2 domain(s) (Subject Alternative Names) and expires on 2026-08-08, which is 39 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 4 technologies across 3 categories powering harvardartmuseums.org. The detected stack includes Mailchimp, reCAPTCHA v3, Cloudflare Turnstile, and Cloudflare. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, harvardartmuseums.org receives an overall trust score of 67/100, classified as "Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, harvardartmuseums.org receives a trust score of 67/100, 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 39 days until expiration, DNSSEC providing authenticated DNS responses, and a well-established domain registered for over 18.3 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, 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 harvardartmuseums.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. The domain is registered through Network Solutions, LLC based in US, with a registration date of 2008-03-11 and expiration date of 2029-03-11.

Our technology detection engine scanned harvardartmuseums.org and identified 4 distinct technologies across 3 categories. This analysis is performed by examining HTTP response headers, HTML source code patterns, JavaScript library fingerprints, CSS framework signatures, and DNS records. Email Marketing: Mailchimp — manages email campaigns and subscriber lists for harvardartmuseums.org. Security: reCAPTCHA v3 and Cloudflare Turnstile — provides security features like bot detection and CAPTCHA for harvardartmuseums.org. CDN: Cloudflare — accelerates content delivery by caching assets at edge locations worldwide for harvardartmuseums.org.

harvardartmuseums.org delivers its homepage in 10699ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 412 KB, and we detected 129 resource requests loading assets from 21 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 5 out of 13 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 12 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 harvardartmuseums.org produces approximately 0.2g of CO₂, earning a carbon rating of B. 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 412 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for harvardartmuseums.org. 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.

harvardartmuseums.org resolves to the IPv4 address 167.172.15.74, but does not support IPv6. IPv6 adoption is increasingly important as IPv4 address space becomes exhausted, and some ISPs and regions are transitioning to IPv6-only connectivity. The domain has 1 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 6 name servers: a1-171.akam.net, a10-66.akam.net, a11-67.akam.net, a16-64.akam.net, a6-66.akam.net, and a7-65.akam.net. Having 6 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. 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 harvardartmuseums.org, 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 Network Solutions, LLC (US). It was first registered on 2008-03-11 and is set to expire on 2029-03-11, making it 18.3 years old.
