hs.fi

We performed a comprehensive analysis of hs.fi on 2026-06-29. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 172769ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 650 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 16 domain(s) (Subject Alternative Names) and expires on 2027-01-05, which is 190 days from now. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 100/100 (excellent). The following security headers are properly configured: Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy. All recommended security headers are in place, providing comprehensive protection against common web attacks. Our technology detection scan identified 7 technologies across 6 categories powering hs.fi. The detected stack includes Next.js media, React, Tailwind CSS, Webpack, Vite, Google Tag Manager, and Fastly. The site uses Next.js as its primary framework (version media). The UI is built with React. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, hs.fi receives an overall trust score of 82/100, classified as "Very Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, hs.fi receives a trust score of 82/100, 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 190 days until expiration, SPF (Sender Policy Framework) email authentication preventing email spoofing, DMARC email authentication with a none policy, DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) providing cryptographic email verification, and a well-established domain registered for over 17.0 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 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 hs.fi 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.

Our technology detection engine scanned hs.fi and identified 7 distinct technologies across 6 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 media) — provides the application framework and routing for hs.fi. UI Library: React — handles the user interface rendering and component management for hs.fi. CSS Framework: Tailwind CSS — provides the styling and responsive layout system for hs.fi. Build Tool: Webpack and Vite — bundles and optimizes the JavaScript and CSS assets for hs.fi. Tag Manager: Google Tag Manager — manages marketing and analytics tags without code changes for hs.fi. CDN: Fastly — accelerates content delivery by caching assets at edge locations worldwide for hs.fi. We also extracted the following tracking identifiers: Google Tag Manager container GTM-5NBQVZ5. These IDs can be used to identify other websites operated by the same organization.

hs.fi delivers its homepage in 172769ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 650 KB, and we detected 313 resource requests loading assets from 18 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 0 CSS files and 1 out of 40 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 39 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 hs.fi produces approximately 0.32g of CO₂, earning a carbon rating of C. This is an average carbon footprint. Optimizing images and reducing unnecessary scripts could further improve this score. For reference, the average web page produces about 0.5g of CO₂ per page view. The page weight of 650 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for hs.fi. 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.

hs.fi resolves to the IPv4 address 108.156.22.54 and also supports IPv6 (2600:9000:2368:7a00:b:5b2c:9f40:93a1), demonstrating modern network infrastructure readiness. The domain has 4 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 4 name servers: ns-1461.awsdns-54.org, ns-1635.awsdns-12.co.uk, ns-678.awsdns-20.net, and ns-83.awsdns-10.com. 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 hs.fi is handled by Microsoft 365 with 1 MX records configured: hs-fi.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. 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 none policy — a monitoring-only setting that doesn't enforce any action on unauthorized emails. DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is configured, adding a cryptographic signature to outgoing emails that receiving servers can verify to confirm the email hasn't been tampered with in transit. DNSSEC is not enabled for hs.fi. 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. Our subdomain enumeration scan discovered 4 active subdomains for hs.fi: apps.hs.fi, dev.hs.fi, m.hs.fi, and www.hs.fi. Active subdomains can reveal the organization's infrastructure, including development environments, API endpoints, and third-party service integrations.
