iran.org

We performed a comprehensive analysis of iran.org on 2026-07-03. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 12450ms. The page is served over HTTP/1.1 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 0.1% size reduction. The total page weight is 944 KB. Warning: The website does not have a valid SSL certificate. Visitors may see security warnings in their browser, and data transmitted to and from this website is not encrypted. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 20/100 (poor). The following security headers are properly configured: Content-Security-Policy. However, the site is missing Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-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 5 categories powering iran.org. The detected stack includes WordPress, Drupal, Remix, React, Vite, and YouTube Embed. The site uses Remix as its primary framework. The UI is built with React. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, iran.org receives an overall trust score of 48/100, classified as "Caution Advised".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, iran.org receives a trust score of 48/100, which places it in the "Caution Advised" 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: SPF (Sender Policy Framework) email authentication preventing email spoofing. Areas of concern include: 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, 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 iran.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.

iran.org delivers its homepage in 12450ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 944 KB, and we detected 751 resource requests loading assets from 228 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 0.1% reduction in transfer size. This reduces bandwidth usage and improves page load times, especially for visitors on slower connections. From an environmental perspective, each page view of iran.org produces approximately 0.46g of CO₂, earning a carbon rating of D. The website's carbon footprint could be reduced by optimizing images, enabling compression, reducing third-party scripts, and leveraging caching. For reference, the average web page produces about 0.5g of CO₂ per page view. The page weight of 944 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for iran.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.

iran.org resolves to the IPv4 address 107.180.47.119, 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 2 name servers: ns23.domaincontrol.com and ns24.domaincontrol.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 iran.org is handled by oxcs.net with 2 MX records configured: mx001.netsol.xion.oxcs.net and mx002.netsol.xion.oxcs.net. 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 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 not enabled for iran.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 homepage of iran.org contains 35,091 words of visible text content. This is a substantial amount of content that provides good opportunities for search engine indexing. The page is structured with 3 H2 headings, 8 H3 headings, 1 H4 headings. The page includes 106 images. 101 images (95%) are missing alt text attributes, which is a significant concern for both accessibility and SEO. Screen readers rely on alt text to describe images to visually impaired users, and search engines use alt text to understand image content. Only 5% of images have proper alt text — we recommend adding descriptive alt attributes to all images. The link structure consists of 105 internal links pointing to other pages on the same domain and 499 external links pointing to third-party websites. The high number of internal links suggests a well-interconnected site structure, which helps search engines discover and crawl all pages efficiently. There are 0 external JavaScript files, 0 CSS stylesheets, and 17 iframes on the page. Notable missing features: XML Sitemap, robots.txt, and Schema.org structured data. Adding these could improve search engine discoverability and rich result eligibility. We detected the following payment methods accepted on iran.org: Visa, Discover, and Affirm.
