ibef.org

We performed a comprehensive analysis of ibef.org on 2026-06-29. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 9054ms. The page is served over HTTP/1.1 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 321 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 1.3 with the TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 cipher suite and sha256WithRSAEncryption signature algorithm. The certificate covers 2 domain(s) (Subject Alternative Names) and expires on 2026-08-11, which is 43 days from now. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 65/100 (moderate). The following security headers are properly configured: Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy. However, the site is missing Content-Security-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 ibef.org. The detected stack includes Bootstrap 5.0.2, Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, reCAPTCHA v3, Cloudflare, and jQuery 3.6.0.. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, ibef.org receives an overall trust score of 77/100, classified as "Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, ibef.org 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 Let's Encrypt with 43 days until expiration, DMARC email authentication with a none policy, and a well-established domain registered for over 24.0 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, 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 ibef.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 GoDaddy.com, LLC based in IN, with a registration date of 2002-07-16 and expiration date of 2026-07-16.

Our technology detection engine scanned ibef.org and identified 6 distinct technologies across 6 categories.

ibef.org delivers its homepage in 9054ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 321 KB, and we detected 379 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: 4 out of 10 CSS files and 8 out of 15 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 13 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 ibef.org produces approximately 0.16g 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 321 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for ibef.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.

ibef.org resolves to the IPv4 address 72.62.226.137, 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 4 name servers: ns-1462.awsdns-54.org, ns-2004.awsdns-58.co.uk, ns-324.awsdns-40.com, and ns-771.awsdns-32.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 ibef.org is handled by Google Workspace with 7 MX records configured: aspmx.l.google.com, alt1.aspmx.l.google.com, and alt2.aspmx.l.google.com and 4 more. 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 (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 was not detected. Without DKIM, recipients cannot cryptographically verify that emails claiming to be from this domain are authentic. DNSSEC is not enabled for ibef.org. 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. The domain is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC (IN). It was first registered on 2002-07-16 and is set to expire on 2026-07-16, making it 24.0 years old. Our subdomain enumeration scan discovered 2 active subdomains for ibef.org: dev.ibef.org and www.ibef.org. Active subdomains can reveal the organization's infrastructure, including development environments, API endpoints, and third-party service integrations.

The title tag for ibef.org is too long at 76 characters: "Business Opportunities in India: Investment Ideas & Industry Insights | IBEF". At 76 characters, the title will likely be truncated in Google search results (recommended: 50-60 characters). Consider shortening it while keeping the most important keywords at the beginning. The meta description is 156 characters (acceptable): "Discover India’s economy, business opportunities, investment ideas, and industry research with IBEF – your trusted sourc...". Google typically displays up to 155-160 characters of the meta description in search results. A compelling meta description with a clear call-to-action can significantly improve click-through rates from search results. The canonical url is correctly set to https://www.ibef.org/, preventing duplicate content issues, the page language is declared as en, the meta robots directive is set to max-image-preview:large, max-snippet:-1, max-video-preview:-1, and a favicon is configured.
