What we found

  1. We found no privacy policy or terms of service.
  2. It sends none of the six security headers we check.
  3. It publishes DMARC but no SPF record, so receivers cannot tell which servers may send its email.
  4. Built with Hugo, the site is hosted on GitHub Pages and served through Fastly, with a domain registered 3 months before launch.
  5. Two more gaps are listed further down the page.

Email

StateRecordStatusWhat it does
SPF Not published Lists the servers allowed to send email for the domain.
DMARC p=quarantine Quarantine (from mxraven.com) Tells receivers what to do with email that fails SPF or DKIM.
DKIM Not found at common selectors Signs outgoing email. We check common selectors only, so a provider may use another.
MTA-STS Not deployed Stops email to the domain being downgraded to plain text in transit.
TLS-RPT Not configured Sends the owner reports of failed encrypted deliveries.

Without SPF, receivers cannot tell which servers may send email for this domain.

How we know

FirstSited records what new websites are built with, usually within a day of going live. Most we find ourselves, by watching public internet infrastructure for brand-new sites; the rest come from Product Hunt, Hacker News and PeerPush. We checked this one in full: its tech stack, DNS, security headers and page basics. This page is what we saw on 11 November 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Every technology below links to its own page: which other new sites launched with it. Watch any of them and get every new site that uses it as it goes live, from £15 a month.

Spot a mistake? If a technology shown here is wrong or out of date, email [email protected] and we'll review it.
