What is walmart.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:

• nowshop ×7
• walmart ×4
• delivery ×3
• save ×2
• money ×2
• live ×2
• better ×2
• skip ×2
• wellness ×2

Does walmart.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 walmart.com registered?

Registration runs until 23 September 2027.

The domain carries 4 registry locks, which blocks unauthorised transfer or deletion.

Where is walmart.com hosted?

The first address resolves to infrastructure in Madrid, Spain.

The network is operated by Akamai International, BV (AS16625 Akamai Technologies, Inc.).

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 walmart.com running on?

walmart.com exposes 1 identifiable technology: Next.js.

The build output indicates a server-rendered JavaScript framework, which means the HTML served to crawlers is generated ahead of time rather than assembled in the browser.

• Next.js

How does the homepage respond?

The server answered with HTTP 200 over
HTTPS.

At 225ms to first byte this response is unremarkable for a homepage measured from a single European location.

The HTML weighs 356KB, which is ordinary for a homepage.

The HTML is compressed with gzip.

What does the homepage say about itself?

The title is 34 characters, inside the range that displays without truncation.

The meta description is 179 characters and will be cut short in most result layouts.

All 13 images on the homepage have alt attributes.

Is walmart.com served over a valid certificate?

The HTTPS certificate is issued by GlobalSign nv-sa and is
valid until 2027-02-11, which is 129 days from the date of this check. It covers
7 hostnames.

• www.walmart.com
• beta.walmart.com
• grocery.walmart.com
• walmart.pharmacy
• walmartspecialty.pharmacy
• www.wal-mart.com
• walmart.com

The certificate has 129 days left to run.

Which security headers does it set?

4 of 6 are set (HSTS, Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, Permissions-Policy). Absent: X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy.

How is DNS configured for walmart.com?

walmart.com resolves to a single address, so there is no DNS-level redundancy.

Mail is handled by 2 exchangers.

An SPF record is published, giving receiving servers a rule for which hosts may send as this domain.

Reverse DNS resolves to a23-14-136-163.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com, which usually names the hosting provider.

Who runs DNS and mail for walmart.com?

DNS is operated by Akamai rather than self-hosted name servers.

Mail exchangers point at hosts that do not match any major provider, which usually means self-hosted or niche-provider mail.

No AAAA records are published, so the site is reachable over IPv4 only.

What else is worth noting about walmart.com?

79 of 79 externally hosted scripts carry no subresource integrity hash. If one of those hosts were compromised, the replacement script would run with full access to the page.

8 email addresses appear in the homepage markup, where address-harvesting crawlers will find them.

The page title and the H1 are identical. That is not an error, but it usually means one of the two is not doing any work.

Can walmart.com be spoofed in email?

DMARC is set to reject, the strictest setting: mail that fails authentication is refused outright. This is the configuration that actually stops domain spoofing.

CAA records restrict certificate issuance to 3 named authorities (issue digicert.com, issue amazon.com, issue globalsign.com), so no other CA should be able to issue 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 else does walmart.com publish?

A security.txt file is published, giving security researchers a documented way to report vulnerabilities. Very few sites bother.

An ads.txt file is published with 9 entries, which means the site sells programmatic advertising and has declared who may resell its inventory.

What does robots.txt allow?

robots.txt is 3,584 bytes and names
4 user-agent groups.

It does not blanket-disallow general crawlers.

Sitemaps declared:

• https://www.walmart.com/sitemap_category.xml
• https://www.walmart.com/sitemap_store_main.xml

• https://www.walmart.com/sitemap_tp_at.xml
• https://www.walmart.com/sitemap_tp_br.xml

AI crawler policy

robots.txt names no AI crawlers specifically, so they fall under whatever rule
applies to User-agent: *.

What structured data does the homepage publish?

• Organization
• WebSite
• SearchAction
• EntryPoint

The homepage publishes 4 structured data types: Organization, WebSite, SearchAction, EntryPoint.

What does walmart.com load from third parties?

The homepage pulls resources from 1 third-party host (i5.walmartimages.com). Each one sees the visitor IP and user agent on every page load.

2 cookies are set before any interaction (isoLoc, akavpau_p2). 1 lacks the Secure flag.

2 resources are referenced over plain HTTP on an HTTPS page, which browsers block or flag as mixed content.

The page links or refers to Facebook, YouTube.

Does walmart.com settle on one address?

Plain HTTP redirects to HTTPS, so visitors who type the bare address still land on the secure version.

Both walmart.com and www.walmart.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 walmart.com be crawled?

A sitemap is served at https://www.walmart.com/sitemap_category.xml listing 12,699 entries.

The most recent lastmod date is 2026-10-02.

A deliberately invalid URL returns HTTP 200 rather than 404. That is a soft 404: every mistyped or stale link becomes an indexable page, which inflates the site with duplicates.

What tracking does walmart.com run?

1 tracking script detected: 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 walmart.com look when shared?

How are images, fonts and scripts handled?

13 images on the homepage, 10 of them lazy-loaded (77%).

All image references use JPEG, PNG or GIF. WebP or AVIF typically cut image weight substantially at the same visual quality.

Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which means every page view also contacts Google. Self-hosting removes that dependency.

The page pulls 1 external stylesheet and 81 external scripts, with 81 carrying defer or async.

Is walmart.com accessible and current?

The page uses 6 landmark elements and 83 ARIA attributes.

There are 1 form inputs but only 0 label elements, so some fields may be unlabelled for screen readers.

Can search engines index walmart.com?

Nothing on the homepage prevents indexing: no noindex is set in the robots meta tag or the X-Robots-Tag header.

The homepage carries 48 internal and 3 external links across 3 outside hosts.

Visible text is only 0.4% of the HTML, which indicates the page is assembled in the browser rather than served as content.

No favicon is declared in the markup.

The TLS certificate also covers 3 subdomains: www.walmart.com, beta.walmart.com, grocery.walmart.com.

• www.walmart.com
• beta.walmart.com
• grocery.walmart.com

Does walmart.com set the usual HTTP security headers?

It sets 4 of 6. The ones not present are: X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy.

Does walmart.com allow AI crawlers?

robots.txt names no AI crawler specifically, so they fall under the wildcard rule, which does not disallow them.

What is walmart.com built with?

The homepage exposes these fingerprints: Next.js. 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 walmart.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.
