orf.at

We performed a comprehensive analysis of orf.at on 2026-06-29. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 2174ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 86 KB. The website uses a secure HTTPS connection with a valid SSL certificate issued by GlobalSign nv-sa (OV type). The connection is encrypted using TLS 1.2 with the ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 cipher suite and sha256WithRSAEncryption signature algorithm. The certificate covers 2 domain(s) (Subject Alternative Names) and expires on 2027-01-03, which is 188 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-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy. However, the site is missing X-Frame-Options, which could expose the site and its users to cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, and other web-based attacks. Our technology detection scan identified 1 technologies across 1 categories powering orf.at. The detected stack includes Bootstrap. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, orf.at receives an overall trust score of 80/100, classified as "Very Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, orf.at receives a trust score of 80/100, which places it in the "Very 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 GlobalSign nv-sa with 188 days until expiration, SPF (Sender Policy Framework) email authentication preventing email spoofing, and DMARC email authentication with a quarantine policy. Areas of concern include: no X-Frame-Options header, which could allow the site to be embedded in malicious iframes (clickjacking), 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 orf.at 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.

Our technology detection engine scanned orf.at and identified 1 distinct technologies across 1 categories. This analysis is performed by examining HTTP response headers, HTML source code patterns, JavaScript library fingerprints, CSS framework signatures, and DNS records. CSS Framework: Bootstrap — provides the styling and responsive layout system for orf.at.

orf.at delivers its homepage in 2174ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 86 KB, and we detected 156 resource requests loading assets from 0 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 3 CSS files and 0 out of 10 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 13 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 orf.at produces approximately 0.04g 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 86 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for orf.at. 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.

orf.at resolves to the IPv4 address 194.232.104.140 and also supports IPv6 (2a01:468:1000:9::150), demonstrating modern network infrastructure readiness. The domain has 8 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 2 name servers: ns3.apa.at and ns4.apa.net. Having 2 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 orf.at is handled by orf.at with 2 MX records configured: mx11.orf.at and mx12.orf.at. 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 quarantine policy — a moderate setting, directing unauthorized emails to spam/junk folders. DKIM was not detected. Without DKIM, recipients cannot cryptographically verify that emails claiming to be from this domain are authentic. DNSSEC is not enabled for orf.at. While not critical for most websites, DNSSEC adds an important security layer by ensuring DNS responses haven't been tampered with during transit. Enabling DNSSEC is recommended for domains handling sensitive data or financial transactions. Our subdomain enumeration scan discovered 9 active subdomains for orf.at: dev.orf.at, ftp.orf.at, help.orf.at, m.orf.at, shop.orf.at, staging.orf.at, static.orf.at, and webmail.orf.at. Plus 1 additional subdomains. Active subdomains can reveal the organization's infrastructure, including development environments, API endpoints, and third-party service integrations.
