wvusports.com

We performed a comprehensive analysis of wvusports.com on 2026-06-30. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 17410ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 800 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 GlobalSign nv-sa (OV 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 151 domain(s) (Subject Alternative Names) and expires on 2026-09-05, which is 67 days from now. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 20/100 (poor). The following security headers are properly configured: Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS). However, the site is missing Content-Security-Policy, 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 5 technologies across 5 categories powering wvusports.com. The detected stack includes Nuxt.js, React, Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, and Amazon CloudFront. The site uses Nuxt.js as its primary framework. The UI is built with React. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, wvusports.com receives an overall trust score of 64/100, classified as "Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, wvusports.com receives a trust score of 64/100, 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, HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) enforcement preventing protocol downgrade attacks, and a valid SSL certificate issued by GlobalSign nv-sa with 67 days until expiration. 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 wvusports.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.

wvusports.com delivers its homepage in 17410ms (server response time), which is considered slow by industry standards. The total page weight is 800 KB, and we detected 730 resource requests loading assets from 32 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 4 CSS files and 0 out of 4 JavaScript files are minified. Minifying the remaining 8 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 wvusports.com produces approximately 0.39g 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 800 KB is the primary factor in this calculation. Core Web Vitals data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) is not available for wvusports.com. 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.

wvusports.com resolves to the IPv4 address 45.223.123.204, 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 2 name servers: ns.rackspace.com and ns2.rackspace.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 wvusports.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.

The homepage of wvusports.com contains 1,278 words of visible text content. This is a substantial amount of content that provides good opportunities for search engine indexing. The page is structured with 9 H2 headings, 36 H3 headings, 0 H4 headings. The page includes 62 images. 23 images (37%) are missing alt text attributes, which is a significant concern for both accessibility and SEO. Screen readers rely on alt text to describe images to visually impaired users, and search engines use alt text to understand image content. Only 63% of images have proper alt text — we recommend adding descriptive alt attributes to all images. The link structure consists of 214 internal links pointing to other pages on the same domain and 114 external links pointing to third-party websites. The high number of internal links suggests a well-interconnected site structure, which helps search engines discover and crawl all pages efficiently. There are 4 external JavaScript files, 4 CSS stylesheets, and 3 iframes on the page. The site implements the following web standards and features: XML Sitemap (helps search engines discover all pages) and robots.txt (controls search engine crawling behavior). Notable missing features: Schema.org structured data. Adding these could improve search engine discoverability and rich result eligibility.
