What is spaceweather.com about?
The words appearing most often on the homepage, excluding common filler, are
a rough indication of subject matter rather than a description of the business:
- nbsp ×25
- days ×22
- total ×21
- space ×21
- solar ×15
- earth ×12
- weather ×11
- data ×9
- updated ×9
- cosmic ×9
Does spaceweather.com publish the usual trust pages?
None of about, contact, privacy or terms could be found at their usual addresses.
That is common for small or single-purpose sites, and it is also what a disposable
site looks like, so it is worth noting rather than concluding from.
These were checked at conventional paths only, so a site using different URLs may
publish them elsewhere.

When was spaceweather.com registered?
spaceweather.com was registered on 26 November 1997, which makes it about 28 years old.

The registrar of record is Network Solutions, LLC.
Registration runs until 25 November 2029.
The domain carries 1 registry lock, which blocks unauthorised transfer or deletion.
| Registered | 26 November 1997 |

| Expires | 25 November 2029 |
| Registrar | Network Solutions, LLC |
| Registry status | client transfer prohibited |
Where is spaceweather.com hosted?
The first address resolves to infrastructure in Richardson, United States.
The network is operated by Linode (AS63949 Akamai Connected Cloud).
Hosting location describes where the responding server sits, not where the business is. A CDN will report its nearest edge rather than the origin.
What is spaceweather.com running on?
spaceweather.com exposes 2 identifiable technologies: Squarespace, Google Analytics.
Visitor tracking is present (Google Analytics), so this homepage is not cookie-free.
- Squarespace
- Google Analytics
How does the homepage respond?
The server answered with HTTP 200 over
HTTPS.
At 786ms to first byte this response is slow for a homepage measured from a single European location.
The HTML weighs 127KB, which is ordinary for a homepage.
The HTML is compressed with gzip.
| Server header | nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu) |
|---|---|
| Compression | gzip |
| Page size | 129,996 bytes |
| Declared language | not declared |
| Mobile viewport | not declared |
What does the homepage say about itself?
The title runs to 110 characters, so search results will truncate it and the end of the sentence will not be read.
There is no meta description, so the snippet shown in search results is assembled by the search engine from whatever text it considers relevant.
No H1 heading was found, so the page offers no single top-level statement of what it is.
126 of 170 images carry no alt attribute, which leaves them unreadable to screen readers and uninterpretable to image search.
No viewport meta tag is declared, so mobile browsers will render the page at desktop width and scale it down.
The html element declares no lang attribute, which removes a signal both screen readers and translation tools rely on.
| Title | SpaceWeather.com — News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids (110 chars) |
|---|---|
| Meta description | — none — (0 chars) |
| H1 | — none — (0 on the page) |
| Canonical | not set |
| Open Graph title | Spaceweather.com – realtime news about the Sun-Earth environment |
| Headings / images | 0 H2s, 170 images (126 without alt text) |
Is spaceweather.com served over a valid certificate?
The HTTPS certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt and is
valid until 2026-11-14, which is 40 days from the date of this check. It covers
2 hostnames.
- spaceweather.com
- www.spaceweather.com
The certificate has 40 days left to run.
It covers 2 hostnames, so it was issued for this site specifically.
Let's Encrypt certificates are free and run on 90-day terms, so this site is almost certainly renewing automatically.
Which security headers does it set?
None of the 6 headers checked are set. That is the default state of most servers rather than evidence of a problem, but it means the browser is given no instructions it could otherwise act on.
Without HSTS, a browser that has never visited before will try HTTP first, which is the window a network attacker needs.
With no Content Security Policy, any script that reaches the page — including one injected through a compromised third-party dependency — runs with full access to it.
| Header | Set | Value |
|---|---|---|
| HSTS | no | — |
| Content Security Policy | no | — |
| X-Content-Type-Options | no | — |
| X-Frame-Options | no | — |
| Referrer-Policy | no | — |
| Permissions-Policy | no | — |

|---|---|
| Reverse DNS | li709-73.members.linode.com, 2600:3c00::f03c:91ff:fe30:7a68 |

spaceweather.com resolves to 2 addresses, which indicates load balancing or a CDN rather than a single origin server.
Mail is handled by 1 exchanger.
An SPF record is published, giving receiving servers a rule for which hosts may send as this domain.
Reverse DNS resolves to li709-73.members.linode.com, 2600:3c00::f03c:91ff:fe30:7a68, which usually names the hosting provider.
Who runs DNS and mail for spaceweather.com?
Mail exchangers point at hosts that do not match any major provider, which usually means self-hosted or niche-provider mail.
The domain publishes AAAA records and accepts connections over IPv6.
What else is worth noting about spaceweather.com?
3 email addresses appear in the homepage markup, where address-harvesting crawlers will find them.
Can spaceweather.com be spoofed in email?
DMARC is published with p=none, which monitors but does not act. Forged mail is still delivered; the owner just gets reports about it.
No CAA records are published, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for this domain.
The zone is not DNSSEC-signed. That is still the norm for most domains, but it means DNS answers cannot be cryptographically verified.
What does robots.txt allow?
No robots.txt was served. Crawlers treat a missing file as permission to crawl
everything, so this is an open crawl policy by default rather than a blocked one.
What structured data does the homepage publish?
No JSON-LD or microdata was found on the homepage.
What does spaceweather.com load from third parties?
The homepage loads no resources from third-party hosts at all, which is rare and means visiting it tells no other company that you did.
No cookies are set on first load.
3 resources are referenced over plain HTTP on an HTTPS page, which browsers block or flag as mixed content.
The page links or refers to X/Twitter, Facebook.
Does spaceweather.com settle on one address?
Plain HTTP redirects to HTTPS, so visitors who type the bare address still land on the secure version.
Both spaceweather.com and www.spaceweather.com answer with 200 and neither redirects to the other. Search engines therefore see two complete copies of the site, and link equity is split between them unless a canonical tag resolves it.
How easily can spaceweather.com be crawled?
No readable sitemap was found, so crawlers have to discover every page by following links.
A deliberately invalid URL correctly returns HTTP 404, so missing pages will not be indexed.
What tracking does spaceweather.com run?
2 tracking scripts detected: Google Analytics, Meta Pixel.
No consent management platform was detected alongside them. Where GDPR or the ePrivacy Directive applies, analytics and advertising scripts generally need consent before they load.
How does spaceweather.com look when shared?
3 of 5 social preview tags are set. Missing: og:type, twitter:card.
How are images, fonts and scripts handled?
170 images on the homepage, 0 of them lazy-loaded (0%).
All image references use JPEG, PNG or GIF. WebP or AVIF typically cut image weight substantially at the same visual quality.
No srcset attributes are used, so every device is served the same image size regardless of screen.
The page pulls 1 external stylesheet and 0 external scripts, with 0 carrying defer or async.
No preconnect hints are declared despite third-party scripts being present, so each new origin pays a full connection setup before it can deliver anything.
Is spaceweather.com accessible and current?
The page uses 0 landmark elements and 0 ARIA attributes.
There are 4 form inputs but only 0 label elements, so some fields may be unlabelled for screen readers.
No skip-to-content link was found, which keyboard users rely on to bypass navigation.
The visible copyright notice reads 2021, 5 years behind the current year, which usually indicates the site is not actively maintained.
71 deprecated HTML elements are still in use (center, font, marquee or blink).
The page does not open with the HTML5 doctype, which can put browsers into quirks mode.
Can search engines index spaceweather.com?
Nothing on the homepage prevents indexing: no noindex is set in the robots meta tag or the X-Robots-Tag header.
No canonical URL is declared, which leaves duplicate addresses of this page to be resolved by the search engine.
The homepage carries 44 internal and 174 external links across 68 outside hosts.
Visible text makes up 9.7% of the HTML.
How is spaceweather.com delivered?
No Cache-Control header is sent for the HTML, so caching behaviour is left to browser defaults.
No favicon is declared in the markup.
The TLS certificate also covers 1 subdomain: www.spaceweather.com.
- www.spaceweather.com

Does spaceweather.com allow AI crawlers?

What is spaceweather.com built with?
The homepage exposes these fingerprints: Squarespace, Google Analytics. A site behind a CDN or rendered server-side may use more than it reveals.
Where does this data come from?
Every figure was measured by our own server on 5 October 2026: DNS lookups, one HTTPS request to the homepage, a TLS handshake and a request for robots.txt. No third-party SEO API is involved.
Is any of this traffic or authority data?
No. Traffic, authority and ranking figures cannot be measured by inspecting a domain, only modelled. Everything here is a direct observation.
I own spaceweather.com and want this page removed.
Ask through the contact page on this site, from an address at the domain, and the report will be taken down. It only ever shows what the domain already serves publicly.
