nic.cpa

We performed a comprehensive analysis of nic.cpa on 2026-07-01. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 5776ms. The page is served over HTTP/1.1 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 118 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 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 11 technologies across 10 categories powering nic.cpa. The detected stack includes WordPress 6.7.5, React, Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, Google Tag Manager, Drift, reCAPTCHA v3, Cloudflare, Google Fonts, jQuery, and Font Awesome. The UI is built with React. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, nic.cpa receives an overall trust score of 55/100, classified as "Caution Advised".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, nic.cpa receives a trust score of 55/100, 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: a valid HTTPS connection protecting data in transit, DNSSEC providing authenticated DNS responses, and a well-established domain registered for over 7.0 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, 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, 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 nic.cpa 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 American Institute of Certified Public Accountants based in US, with a registration date of 2019-06-27 and expiration date of 2026-06-27.

nic.cpa delivers its homepage in 5776ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 118 KB, and we detected 159 resource requests loading assets from 17 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 14 CSS files and 49 out of 55 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 16 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 nic.cpa produces approximately 0.06g 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 118 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for nic.cpa. 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.

nic.cpa resolves to the IPv4 address 54.245.106.105, 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 6 name servers: a.nic.cpa, b.nic.cpa, c.nic.cpa, x.nic.cpa, y.nic.cpa, and z.nic.cpa. Having 6 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. 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 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 enabled for nic.cpa, 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 American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (US). It was first registered on 2019-06-27 and is set to expire on 2026-06-27, making it 7.0 years old. Our subdomain enumeration scan discovered 2 active subdomains for nic.cpa: m.nic.cpa and www.nic.cpa. Active subdomains can reveal the organization's infrastructure, including development environments, API endpoints, and third-party service integrations.

The homepage of nic.cpa contains 1,103 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 11 H2 headings, 2 H3 headings, 4 H4 headings, 3 H5, and 0 H6 headings. The page includes 24 images. 13 images (54%) are missing alt text attributes, which is a significant concern for both accessibility and SEO.

The length falls within the ideal range for Google search results, ensuring the full title is displayed without truncation. No meta description is configured for nic.cpa.

Adding a unique, compelling meta description of 120-155 characters is strongly recommended. The canonical url is correctly set to https://register.domains.cpa/, preventing duplicate content issues, the page language is declared as en-us, the meta robots directive is set to max-image-preview:large, and a favicon is configured. No Open Graph tags are configured. When someone shares a link to nic.cpa on social media, the platform will have to guess the title, description, and image — often producing unattractive or inaccurate previews. Adding OG tags is essential for social media marketing.
