ou.org

We performed a comprehensive analysis of ou.org on 2026-06-30. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 22191ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 150 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 Amazon (DV type). The connection is encrypted using TLS 1.3 with the TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 cipher suite and sha256WithRSAEncryption signature algorithm. The certificate covers 2 domain(s) (Subject Alternative Names) and expires on 2026-11-19, which is 142 days from now. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 65/100 (moderate). The following security headers are properly configured: Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy. However, the site is missing Content-Security-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 10 technologies across 10 categories powering ou.org. The detected stack includes WordPress, Vue.js, Vite, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Intercom, Amazon CloudFront, Adobe Fonts, jQuery, and Font Awesome. The UI is built with Vue.js. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, ou.org receives an overall trust score of 82/100, classified as "Very Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, ou.org receives a trust score of 82/100, 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 Amazon with 142 days until expiration, SPF (Sender Policy Framework) email authentication preventing email spoofing, DMARC email authentication with a reject policy — the strongest available setting, and a well-established domain registered for over 30.8 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, 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 ou.org 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 Network Solutions, LLC based in SA, with a registration date of 1995-09-19 and expiration date of 2027-09-18.

ou.org delivers its homepage in 22191ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 150 KB, and we detected 247 resource requests loading assets from 38 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: 2 out of 4 CSS files and 6 out of 18 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 14 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 ou.org produces approximately 0.07g 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 150 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for ou.org. 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.

ou.org resolves to the IPv4 address 108.158.90.61 and also supports IPv6 (2600:9000:2579:1200:17:d406:a380:93a1), demonstrating modern network infrastructure readiness. The domain has 4 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 4 name servers: ns1.p12.dynect.net, ns2.p12.dynect.net, ns3.p12.dynect.net, and ns4.p12.dynect.net. 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 ou.org is handled by pphosted.com with 2 MX records configured: mxa-002cc701.gslb.pphosted.com and mxb-002cc701.gslb.pphosted.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 not enabled for ou.org. 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. The domain is registered through Network Solutions, LLC (SA). It was first registered on 1995-09-19 and is set to expire on 2027-09-18, making it 30.8 years old.
