nic.eco

We performed a comprehensive analysis of nic.eco on 2026-06-30. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 19753ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 34 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 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 2026-09-07, which is 69 days from now. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 85/100 (good). The following security headers are properly configured: Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy. However, the site is missing 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 nic.eco. The detected stack includes Bootstrap 5.3.8, Intercom, and Sentry. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, nic.eco receives an overall trust score of 76/100, classified as "Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, nic.eco receives a trust score of 76/100, 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 69 days until expiration, DNSSEC providing authenticated DNS responses, and a well-established domain registered for over 9.6 years, indicating long-term commitment and legitimacy. Areas of concern include: 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.eco 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 Big Room Inc. (Non-billable) based in US, with a registration date of 2016-12-02 and expiration date of 3000-01-01.

nic.eco delivers its homepage in 19753ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 34 KB, and we detected 107 resource requests loading assets from 22 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 1 CSS files and 2 out of 3 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 2 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 nic.eco produces approximately 0.02g 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 34 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for nic.eco. 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.eco resolves to the IPv4 address 52.88.50.182 and also supports IPv6 (2600:1f14:20b4:b62a:e01e:f53c:212d:105), demonstrating modern network infrastructure readiness. The domain has 1 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 4 name servers: a.ns.nic.eco, b.ns.nic.eco, c.ns.nic.eco, and d.ns.nic.eco. 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. 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.eco, 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 Big Room Inc. (Non-billable) (US). It was first registered on 2016-12-02 and is set to expire on 3000-01-01, making it 9.6 years old. Our subdomain enumeration scan discovered 2 active subdomains for nic.eco: api.nic.eco and www.nic.eco. Active subdomains can reveal the organization's infrastructure, including development environments, API endpoints, and third-party service integrations.
