obs.no

We performed a comprehensive analysis of obs.no on 2026-07-01. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 17338ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 858 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 Google Trust Services (DV type). The connection is encrypted using TLS 1.3 with the TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 cipher suite and ECDSA-SHA256 signature algorithm. The certificate covers 1 domain(s) (Subject Alternative Names) and expires on 2026-08-04, which is 34 days from now. 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 2 technologies across 2 categories powering obs.no. The detected stack includes Vite and Google Fonts. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, obs.no receives an overall trust score of 70/100, classified as "Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, obs.no receives a trust score of 70/100, 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 Google Trust Services with 34 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 8.5 years, indicating long-term commitment and legitimacy. 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, 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 obs.no 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 Corporation Service Company based in SE, with a registration date of 2018-01-17.

Our technology detection engine scanned obs.no and identified 2 distinct technologies across 2 categories. This analysis is performed by examining HTTP response headers, HTML source code patterns, JavaScript library fingerprints, CSS framework signatures, and DNS records. Build Tool: Vite — bundles and optimizes the JavaScript and CSS assets for obs.no. Fonts: Google Fonts — delivers web fonts for typography for obs.no.

obs.no delivers its homepage in 17338ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 858 KB, and we detected 141 resource requests loading assets from 7 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 2 CSS files and 0 out of 6 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 8 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 obs.no produces approximately 0.42g 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 858 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for obs.no. 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.

obs.no resolves to the IPv4 address 217.114.94.2, 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 4 name servers: ns-cloud-b1.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-b2.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-b3.googledomains.com, and ns-cloud-b4.googledomains.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 obs.no is handled by Microsoft 365 with 1 MX records configured: obs-no.mail.protection.outlook.com. 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 obs.no, 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 Corporation Service Company (SE). It was first registered on 2018-01-17, making it 8.5 years old. Our subdomain enumeration scan discovered 1 active subdomains for obs.no: www.obs.no. Active subdomains can reveal the organization's infrastructure, including development environments, API endpoints, and third-party service integrations.

The homepage of obs.no contains 292 words of visible text content. This is a relatively short page — adding more descriptive content could improve search engine visibility. The page is structured with 3 H2 headings, 0 H3 headings, 6 H4 headings, 5 H5, and 0 H6 headings. The page includes 35 images. 1 images (3%) 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 97% of images have proper alt text — we recommend adding descriptive alt attributes to all images.
