wired.de

We performed a comprehensive analysis of wired.de on 2026-07-07. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 11109ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 666 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 15/100 (poor). The following security headers are properly configured: X-Content-Type-Options. However, the site is missing Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-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 wired.de. The detected stack includes Google Tag Manager, Shop Pay, and Fastly. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, wired.de receives an overall trust score of 58/100, classified as "Caution Advised".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, wired.de receives a trust score of 58/100, 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 and DMARC email authentication with a reject policy — the strongest available setting. 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 wired.de 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 wired.de 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. Tag Manager: Google Tag Manager — manages marketing and analytics tags without code changes for wired.de. Payments: Shop Pay — processes payment transactions for wired.de. CDN: Fastly — accelerates content delivery by caching assets at edge locations worldwide for wired.de. We also extracted the following tracking identifiers: Google Tag Manager container GTM-NQPFNCC. These IDs can be used to identify other websites operated by the same organization.

wired.de delivers its homepage in 11109ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 666 KB, and we detected 152 resource requests loading assets from 36 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 0 CSS files and 0 out of 28 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 wired.de produces approximately 0.33g of CO₂, earning a carbon rating of C. This is an average carbon footprint. Optimizing images and reducing unnecessary scripts could further improve this score. For reference, the average web page produces about 0.5g of CO₂ per page view. The page weight of 666 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for wired.de. 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.

wired.de resolves to the IPv4 address 52.223.6.210, 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 2 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 4 name servers: ns-1303.awsdns-34.org, ns-1730.awsdns-24.co.uk, ns-284.awsdns-35.com, and ns-698.awsdns-23.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 (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 wired.de. 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.
