mpa.gov.sg

We performed a comprehensive analysis of mpa.gov.sg on 2026-06-30. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 14799ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 409 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 GlobalSign nv-sa (OV 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 2 domain(s) (Subject Alternative Names) and expires on 2027-02-13, which is 228 days from now. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 70/100 (good). The following security headers are properly configured: Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options. However, the site is missing 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 3 technologies across 3 categories powering mpa.gov.sg. The detected stack includes Next.js chunks, React, and Google Analytics 4. The site uses Next.js as its primary framework (version chunks). The UI is built with React. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, mpa.gov.sg receives an overall trust score of 84/100, classified as "Very Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, mpa.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 GlobalSign nv-sa with 228 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: 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 mpa.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 US, with a registration date of 1996-03-31 and expiration date of 2027-03-30.

Our technology detection engine scanned mpa.gov.sg and identified 3 distinct technologies across 3 categories.

Framework: Next.js (version chunks) — provides the application framework and routing for mpa.gov.sg. UI Library: React — handles the user interface rendering and component management for mpa.gov.sg. Analytics: Google Analytics 4 — tracks visitor behavior and provides traffic insights for mpa.gov.sg. We also extracted the following tracking identifiers: Google Analytics 4 Measurement ID G-YWSFG9XW00. These IDs can be used to identify other websites operated by the same organization.

mpa.gov.sg delivers its homepage in 14799ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 409 KB, and we detected 341 resource requests loading assets from 14 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 3 CSS files and 0 out of 15 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 18 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 mpa.gov.sg 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 409 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for mpa.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.

mpa.gov.sg resolves to the IPv4 address 45.60.11.176 and also supports IPv6 (2a02:e980:b1::b0), demonstrating modern network infrastructure readiness. The domain has 2 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 mpa.gov.sg is handled by gov.sg with 3 MX records configured: mx2.sgict.gov.sg, mx1.sgict.gov.sg, and mx4.sgict.gov.sg. 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 mpa.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 (US). It was first registered on 1996-03-31 and is set to expire on 2027-03-30, making it 30.3 years old. Our subdomain enumeration scan discovered 1 active subdomains for mpa.gov.sg: www.mpa.gov.sg. Active subdomains can reveal the organization's infrastructure, including development environments, API endpoints, and third-party service integrations.
