hdb.gov.sg

We performed a comprehensive analysis of hdb.gov.sg on 2026-06-29. The website returned an HTTP 403 status code with a server response time of 28829ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol, however no compression (Gzip or Brotli) is enabled, which means the page is transferred at its full uncompressed size. The total page weight is 3 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 Amazon (DV type). The connection is encrypted using TLS 1.3 with the TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 cipher suite and sha256WithRSAEncryption signature algorithm. The certificate covers 3 domain(s) (Subject Alternative Names) and expires on 2026-09-24, which is 87 days from now. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 85/100 (good). The following security headers are properly configured: Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy. However, the site is missing 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 2 technologies across 2 categories powering hdb.gov.sg. The detected stack includes Next.js css and Webpack. The site uses Next.js as its primary framework (version css). Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, hdb.gov.sg receives an overall trust score of 84/100, classified as "Very Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, hdb.gov.sg receives a trust score of 84/100, which places it in the "Very 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 Amazon with 87 days until expiration, SPF (Sender Policy Framework) email authentication preventing email spoofing, DMARC email authentication with a reject policy — the strongest available setting, DNSSEC providing authenticated DNS responses, and a well-established domain registered for over 30.3 years, indicating long-term commitment and legitimacy. Areas of concern include: 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 hdb.gov.sg 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 Government Technology Agency based in CA, with a registration date of 1996-03-31 and expiration date of 2027-03-30.

Our technology detection engine scanned hdb.gov.sg and identified 2 distinct technologies across 2 categories. This analysis is performed by examining HTTP response headers, HTML source code patterns, JavaScript library fingerprints, CSS framework signatures, and DNS records. Framework: Next.js (version css) — provides the application framework and routing for hdb.gov.sg. Build Tool: Webpack — bundles and optimizes the JavaScript and CSS assets for hdb.gov.sg.

hdb.gov.sg delivers its homepage in 28829ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 3 KB, and we detected 19 resource requests loading assets from 1 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. No compression is currently enabled on hdb.gov.sg. Enabling Brotli or Gzip compression could reduce page size by 60-80% for text-based assets (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), significantly improving load times and reducing bandwidth costs. This is one of the simplest and most impactful performance optimizations available. Asset minification status: 0 out of 2 CSS files and 0 out of 12 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 hdb.gov.sg produces approximately 0.0g 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 3 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for hdb.gov.sg. 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.

hdb.gov.sg resolves to the IPv4 address 15.197.167.28, 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 12 name servers: a1-6.akam.net, a2-65.akam.net, a20-66.akam.net, a3-67.akam.net, a8-64.akam.net, a9-65.akam.net, ns10.gdnsdef.com, ns12.gdnsdef.com, ns12.gdnsec.com, ns3.gdnsec.com, ns7.gdnsdef.com, and ns9.gdnsec.com. Having 12 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 hdb.gov.sg is handled by gov.sg with 4 MX records configured: mx2.sgict.gov.sg, mx1.sgict.gov.sg, and mx4.sgict.gov.sg and 1 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 reject policy — the strongest setting, instructing receiving servers to reject unauthorized emails entirely. DKIM was not detected. Without DKIM, recipients cannot cryptographically verify that emails claiming to be from this domain are authentic. DNSSEC is enabled for hdb.gov.sg, 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 Government Technology Agency (CA). It was first registered on 1996-03-31 and is set to expire on 2027-03-30, making it 30.3 years old.

No meta description is configured for hdb.gov.sg. This is a critical SEO oversight — without a meta description, Google will auto-generate a snippet from page content, which may not accurately represent the page or entice users to click. Adding a unique, compelling meta description of 120-155 characters is strongly recommended. The page language is declared as en and a favicon is configured. No Open Graph tags are configured. When someone shares a link to hdb.gov.sg on social media, the platform will have to guess the title, description, and image — often producing unattractive or inaccurate previews. Adding OG tags is essential for social media marketing.
