murderpedia.org

We performed a comprehensive analysis of murderpedia.org on 2026-06-30. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 9076ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 0.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 55 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_128_GCM_SHA256 cipher suite and ECDSA-SHA384 signature algorithm. The certificate covers 2 domain(s) (Subject Alternative Names) and expires on 2026-08-26, which is 57 days from now. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 0/100 (poor). No security headers are configured, which is a significant security concern. However, the site is missing Content-Security-Policy, 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 4 technologies across 4 categories powering murderpedia.org. The detected stack includes React, Google Analytics 4, Google AdSense, and PayPal. The UI is built with React. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, murderpedia.org receives an overall trust score of 63/100, classified as "Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, murderpedia.org receives a trust score of 63/100, 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, a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt with 57 days until expiration, SPF (Sender Policy Framework) email authentication preventing email spoofing, and a well-established domain registered for over 14.6 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, 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 murderpedia.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 DE, with a registration date of 2011-12-11 and expiration date of 2026-12-11.

murderpedia.org delivers its homepage in 9076ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 55 KB, and we detected 86 resource requests loading assets from 9 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 0.0% 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 0 out of 4 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 4 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 murderpedia.org produces approximately 0.03g 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 55 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for murderpedia.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.

The domain has 1 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 4 name servers: barb.ezoicns.com, kudu.ezoicns.com, mule.ezoicns.com, and wasp.ezoicns.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 murderpedia.org is handled by murderpedia.org with 1 MX records configured: ezmail.murderpedia.org. Multiple MX records provide failover redundancy — if the primary mail server is unavailable, email will be routed to the next available server.
