onf.ca

We performed a comprehensive analysis of onf.ca on 2026-06-30. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 13672ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol, however no compression (Gzip or Brotli) is enabled, which means the page is transferred at its full uncompressed size. The total page weight is 56 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_256_GCM_SHA384 cipher suite and sha256WithRSAEncryption signature algorithm. The certificate covers 5 domain(s) (Subject Alternative Names) and expires on 2026-08-17, which is 48 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 3 technologies across 3 categories powering onf.ca. The detected stack includes Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, and Amazon CloudFront. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, onf.ca receives an overall trust score of 70/100, classified as "Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, onf.ca 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 Let's Encrypt with 48 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 25.7 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 onf.ca 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 A.R.C. Informatique Inc. based in CA, with a registration date of 2000-11-06 and expiration date of 2031-08-25.

Our technology detection engine scanned onf.ca and identified 3 distinct technologies across 3 categories. This analysis is performed by examining HTTP response headers, HTML source code patterns, JavaScript library fingerprints, CSS framework signatures, and DNS records. Analytics: Google Analytics 4 — tracks visitor behavior and provides traffic insights for onf.ca. Tag Manager: Google Tag Manager — manages marketing and analytics tags without code changes for onf.ca. CDN: Amazon CloudFront — accelerates content delivery by caching assets at edge locations worldwide for onf.ca. We also extracted the following tracking identifiers: Google Analytics 4 Measurement ID G-EP6WV87GNV and Google Tag Manager container GTM-NLQ6TKD. These IDs can be used to identify other websites operated by the same organization.

onf.ca delivers its homepage in 13672ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 56 KB, and we detected 84 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. No compression is currently enabled on onf.ca. Enabling Brotli or Gzip compression could reduce page size by 60-80% for text-based assets (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), significantly improving load times and reducing bandwidth costs. This is one of the simplest and most impactful performance optimizations available. Asset minification status: 2 out of 2 CSS files and 6 out of 7 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 1 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 onf.ca 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 56 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for onf.ca. 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.

onf.ca resolves to the IPv4 address 35.182.164.155, 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 3 name servers: NS3.NFB.ca, NS4.NFB.ca, and NS5.NFB.ca. Having 3 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 onf.ca is handled by Microsoft 365 with 1 MX records configured: onf-ca.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 onf.ca, 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 A.R.C. Informatique Inc. (CA). It was first registered on 2000-11-06 and is set to expire on 2031-08-25, making it 25.7 years old. Our subdomain enumeration scan discovered 4 active subdomains for onf.ca: api.onf.ca, blog.onf.ca, mail.onf.ca, and www.onf.ca. Active subdomains can reveal the organization's infrastructure, including development environments, API endpoints, and third-party service integrations.
