pbskids.org

We performed a comprehensive analysis of pbskids.org on 2026-06-29. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 4067ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 108 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 2027-03-08, which is 252 days from now. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 35/100 (below average). The following security headers are properly configured: Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. However, the site is missing Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), 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 4 technologies across 4 categories powering pbskids.org. The detected stack includes Next.js media, Webpack, Google Tag Manager, and Sentry. The site uses Next.js as its primary framework (version media). Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, pbskids.org receives an overall trust score of 65/100, classified as "Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, pbskids.org receives a trust score of 65/100, 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 Amazon with 252 days until expiration, and a well-established domain registered for over 27.2 years, indicating long-term commitment and legitimacy. Areas of concern include: missing Referrer-Policy, potentially leaking URL information to third parties, 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 pbskids.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 CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. based in US, with a registration date of 1999-04-09 and expiration date of 2027-04-09.

pbskids.org delivers its homepage in 4067ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 108 KB, and we detected 63 resource requests loading assets from 2 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 7 CSS files and 0 out of 21 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 28 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 pbskids.org produces approximately 0.05g 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 108 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for pbskids.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.

pbskids.org resolves to the IPv4 address 13.33.235.65 and also supports IPv6 (2600:9000:20a8:d600:1c:c8c6:9740:93a1), demonstrating modern network infrastructure readiness. The domain has 4 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 4 name servers: ns-1230.awsdns-25.org, ns-1674.awsdns-17.co.uk, ns-193.awsdns-24.com, and ns-806.awsdns-36.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. 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 not enabled for pbskids.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 CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. (US). It was first registered on 1999-04-09 and is set to expire on 2027-04-09, making it 27.2 years old.
