|---|---|
| Reverse DNS | a2-20-143-43.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com, a2-20-142-194.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com |
| Name servers | a3-64.akam.net, a16-67.akam.net, a12-67.akam.net, a28-66.akam.net, a1-4.akam.net, a11-65.akam.net |

arsenal.com resolves to 4 addresses, which indicates load balancing or a CDN rather than a single origin server.
Mail is handled by 2 exchangers.
No SPF record is published. Receiving servers therefore have no published rule for who may send mail as this domain, which makes spoofing it materially easier.
Reverse DNS resolves to a2-20-143-43.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com, a2-20-142-194.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com, which usually names the hosting provider.
Who runs DNS and mail for arsenal.com?
DNS is operated by Akamai rather than self-hosted name servers.
Mail is handled by Mimecast.
The domain publishes AAAA records and accepts connections over IPv6.
What else is worth noting about arsenal.com?
1 of 1 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.
Can arsenal.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?
robots.txt is 258 bytes and names
1 user-agent group.
It does not blanket-disallow general crawlers.
Sitemaps declared:
- https://www.arsenal.com/sitemap.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?
No JSON-LD or microdata was found on the homepage.
What does arsenal.com load from third parties?
The homepage pulls resources from 2 third-party hosts (arsenal-icons.eu-central-1.linodeobjects.com, pagead2.googlesyndication.com). Each one sees the visitor IP and user agent on every page load.
No cookies are set on first load.
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 X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube.
Does arsenal.com settle on one address?
Plain HTTP redirects to HTTPS, so visitors who type the bare address still land on the secure version.
Both arsenal.com and www.arsenal.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 arsenal.com be crawled?
A sitemap index is served at https://www.arsenal.com/sitemap.xml listing 5 entries.
The most recent lastmod date is 2026-10-04.
A deliberately invalid URL correctly returns HTTP 404, so missing pages will not be indexed.
What tracking does arsenal.com run?
No analytics or advertising trackers were detected on the homepage of arsenal.com, which is unusual for a commercial site.
How does arsenal.com look when shared?
All five social preview tags are present, so links shared to social platforms and chat apps will render with a title, description and image.
How are images, fonts and scripts handled?
4 images on the homepage, 4 of them lazy-loaded (100%).
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 3 external stylesheets and 15 external scripts, with 15 carrying defer or async.
Is arsenal.com accessible and current?
The page uses 6 landmark elements and 80 ARIA attributes.
Can search engines index arsenal.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 133 internal and 24 external links across 17 outside hosts.
Visible text is only 2.1% of the HTML, which indicates the page is assembled in the browser rather than served as content.
How is arsenal.com delivered?
The HTML is served with Cache-Control: public, max-age=60, s-maxage=31536000.
HTTP/3 is advertised via alt-svc, so modern browsers will upgrade to QUIC after the first visit.
Frequently asked questions
Does arsenal.com set the usual HTTP security headers?
It sets 4 of 6. The ones not present are: Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy.
Does arsenal.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 arsenal.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 4 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 arsenal.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.
