Website Safety Analyzer

Website Safety Analyzer

This skill performs a comprehensive safety and trustworthiness analysis of any website by examining domain registration details, DNS configuration, online reviews, and security indicators.

When to Use

digraph when_to_use {
    "User asks about website safety?" [shape=diamond];
    "User provides URL or domain?" [shape=diamond];
    "is-website-safe" [shape=box style=filled fillcolor=lightgreen];
    "Ask for URL/​domain" [shape=box];
    "Use other skill" [shape=box];

    "User asks about website safety?" -> "User provides URL or domain?" [label="yes\n(safe, trustworthy,\nlegitimate, scam)"];
    "User asks about website safety?" -> "Use other skill" [label="no"];
    "User provides URL or domain?" -> "is-website-safe" [label="yes"];
    "User provides URL or domain?" -> "Ask for URL/​domain" [label="no"];
}

Use this skill when:

• User asks "Is [website] safe?"
• User wants to check if a site is trustworthy/​legitimate
• User asks about domain reputation or age
• User wants to avoid scams or phishing sites

Instructions

When the user provides a website URL, follow these steps:

1. Extract and Normalize the Domain

Extract the domain from the provided URL:

• Remove protocol (http://, https://)
• Remove www. prefix if present
• Remove path, query parameters, and fragments
• Handle both bare domains (example.com) and full URLs (https://www.example.com/path)

2. Gather Domain Intelligence

Collect data using these tools in parallel:

WHOIS Lookup:

whois [domain]

Extract: registrar, creation date, expiration date, registrant info (if available), nameservers

DNS Information:

dig [domain] ANY +noall +answer
dig [domain] A +short
dig [domain] MX +short

Extract: A records (IP addresses), MX records (email servers), nameservers

Trustpilot Reviews: Search for "[domain] trustpilot" using WebSearch and analyze:

• Overall rating (out of 5 stars)
• Number of reviews
• Recent review sentiment
• Common complaints or praise

3. Calculate Trust Score

Calculate a trust score (0-100%) based on these weighted factors:

Domain Age (25 points):

• 10+ years: 25 points
• 5-10 years: 20 points
• 2-5 years: 15 points
• 1-2 years: 10 points
• 6-12 months: 5 points
• Less than 6 months: 0 points

WHOIS Information (20 points):

• Complete registrant info visible: 20 points
• Partial info (privacy protection): 10 points
• No info or suspicious: 0 points
• Deduct 10 if expiring within 30 days

DNS Configuration (15 points):

• Valid A records: 5 points
• MX records present: 5 points
• Multiple nameservers: 5 points

Trustpilot Rating (30 points):

• 4.5-5.0 stars: 30 points
• 4.0-4.4 stars: 25 points
• 3.5-3.9 stars: 20 points
• 3.0-3.4 stars: 15 points
• 2.5-2.9 stars: 10 points
• 2.0-2.4 stars: 5 points
• Below 2.0 stars: 0 points
• No reviews found: 15 points (neutral)

Additional Indicators (10 points):

• HTTPS available: 5 points
• Known brand/​established site: 5 points

4. Format the Results

Present the results in a clear, structured format:

# Website Safety Report: [domain]

## Trust Score: [X]% - [RATING]

[RATING] categories:
- 80-100%: TRUSTED ✓
- 60-79%: LIKELY SAFE (Proceed with Caution)
- 40-59%: MODERATE RISK (Exercise Caution)
- 20-39%: HIGH RISK (Not Recommended)
- 0-19%: DANGEROUS (Avoid)

## Detailed Analysis

| Category | Details |
|----------|---------|
| Domain Age | [X years/​months] - Registered on [date] |
| Expiration | [date] ([X days remaining]) |
| Registrar | [registrar name] |
| Registrant | [info or "Hidden (Privacy Protected)"] |
| IP Address | [primary IP] |
| Location | [country/​region if detectable] |
| Email Server | [MX records or "None found"] |
| Nameservers | [list of NS] |
| Trustpilot Rating | [X.X stars] ([Y reviews]) or "No reviews found" |
| HTTPS Support | [Yes/​No] |

## Security Indicators

[List positive and negative indicators found]

**Positive:**
- [e.g., "Domain registered for 8 years"]
- [e.g., "Strong Trustpilot rating (4.7/​5)"]

**Concerns:**
- [e.g., "Registrant information hidden"]
- [e.g., "Domain expiring soon"]

## Recommendation

[Provide a clear recommendation based on the trust score and analysis]

5. Error Handling

If any lookup fails:

• Note which information is unavailable
• Continue with remaining checks
• Adjust trust score calculation accordingly (use proportional scoring)
• Mention data limitations in the report

6. Important Notes

• Some domains use privacy protection services (normal for personal sites)
• New domains aren't necessarily unsafe (lack of history ≠ malicious)
• Trustpilot absence doesn't mean untrustworthy (many legitimate sites have no reviews)
• Consider context: small business sites may have less data than major brands
• Always mention if the analysis is limited by missing data

Example Usage

User: "Is amazon.com safe?" User: "Check if suspicious-deals-2024.xyz is trustworthy" User: "Analyze the safety of https://www.example-shop.com/products"

Tips

• When Trustpilot data is found via WebSearch, use WebFetch to extract the specific rating and review count
• For well-known domains (google.com, microsoft.com, etc.), you can add bonus points
• If WHOIS returns rate limiting errors, note this and proceed with other checks
• DNS lookups are usually fast - run them in parallel with WHOIS
• Consider domain extension (.com, .org vs. .xyz, .tk) as a minor factor
