theoi.com

We performed a comprehensive analysis of theoi.com on 2026-06-28. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 15009ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 39 KB, and the site is served behind a CDN (Content Delivery Network). Warning: The website does not have a valid SSL certificate. Visitors may see security warnings in their browser, and data transmitted to and from this website is not encrypted. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 0/100 (poor). No security headers are configured, which is a significant security concern. However, the site is missing Content-Security-Policy, 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 4 technologies across 4 categories powering theoi.com. The detected stack includes Bootstrap, Google Tag Manager, StackPath, and jQuery 1.11.3.. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, theoi.com receives an overall trust score of 53/100, classified as "Caution Advised".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, theoi.com receives a trust score of 53/100, which places it in the "Caution Advised" 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. Areas of concern include: the absence of a Content-Security-Policy header, which leaves the site more vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, 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, 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 theoi.com 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 theoi.com and identified 4 distinct technologies across 4 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 theoi.com. Tag Manager: Google Tag Manager — manages marketing and analytics tags without code changes for theoi.com. CDN: StackPath — accelerates content delivery by caching assets at edge locations worldwide for theoi.com. JavaScript Library: jQuery (version 1.11.3.) — provides utility functions and DOM manipulation for theoi.com. We also extracted the following tracking identifiers: Google Tag Manager container GTM-N5KC4JR. These IDs can be used to identify other websites operated by the same organization.

theoi.com resolves to the IPv4 address 104.21.54.254 and also supports IPv6 (2606:4700:3030::6815:36fe), demonstrating modern network infrastructure readiness. The domain has 2 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 2 name servers: jason.ns.cloudflare.com and zoe.ns.cloudflare.com. 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. 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 theoi.com. 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 2 active subdomains for theoi.com: ftp.theoi.com and www.theoi.com. Active subdomains can reveal the organization's infrastructure, including development environments, API endpoints, and third-party service integrations.

The title tag for theoi.com is too long at 73 characters: "THEOI GREEK MYTHOLOGY - Exploring Mythology in Classical Literature & Art".
