Audit a website

A site audit is the demonstration that graceful degradation is real: it runs on sources that need no account at all, so a deployment with zero credentials can still do something genuinely useful.

What it reads

Registration

When the domain was registered, resolved through the authoritative registry for its TLD rather than a redirector.

Certificates

Public certificate transparency records — when certificates first appeared, and for which names.

Archive history

Whether the page has been archived before, and how far back. A site claiming years of history with no archive record is worth a second look.

Page content

What the page itself says: title, description, and the claims in its own text.

DNS

Resolution, over DNS-over-HTTPS.
