How the TD Score™ Works
The TrustDepth Score (TD Score™) is a unified 0 to 100 benchmark evaluating a website's legitimacy, technical security, encryption validity, and threat history.
The 5 Official TD Score™ Rating Bands
Use this reference scale to determine whether a website is safe for browsing, logins, or online purchases.

What Factors Influence the Score?
TrustDepth scans over 12 independent live cybersecurity signals for each domain:
WHOIS Age & Registration
Older, stable domain names score higher than newly registered domains created within the last 30 days.
SSL / TLS Encryption
Valid certificates issued by recognized Certificate Authorities ensure encrypted communication.
DNS & Email Authentication
SPF, DMARC, and DNSSEC records protect domains against email phishing and spoofing impersonation.
Threat & Malware Blocklists
Multi-feed queries across global cyber databases to check if the domain has been reported for spam or fraud.
Security Headers & HSTS
Checks for defensive browser headers like CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and nosniff protection.
Community Reviews & Feedback
Aggregated, moderated feedback from real visitors validating authentic delivery and customer service.
