Why WebTrustScore

Trust you can check, not guess.

Before you enter a card number, sign in, or send money, you size up whether a site is safe — usually from a gut feeling, a padlock icon, or a review you're not sure you believe. WebTrustScore turns that judgment into evidence. It reads a site's security, ownership identity, reputation, transparency, and resilience, and returns one 0–1000 trust score in seconds — from public signals and rules you can inspect for yourself. Not a seal someone paid for, but an honest, repeatable read on how trustworthy a site actually looks.

Guesswork vs. a score

Judging a site by eye

  • A padlock only means the connection is encrypted — scammers get certificates too.
  • Checking registration, DNS, and reviews by hand is slow, and you rarely know what "normal" looks like.
  • Two people looking at the same site walk away with two different hunches.

One WebTrustScore

  • Five categories of real evidence — security, identity, reputation, transparency, and resilience — combined into a single 0–1000 score.
  • Rule-based and reproducible: the same site and the same evidence always reach the same score.
  • Plain-language bands and the evidence behind every factor, so you can see exactly why.

The payoff

What an objective trust score gets you

Reproducible

Scan the same site twice and you get the same number, so a score you cite — or embed as a badge — holds up.

Comparable

One 0–1000 scale for every site means you can line up vendors, links, or listings and actually compare them, instead of trading hunches.

Explainable

No black box. Every factor shows its evidence and any risk that held the score down, so you can see why a site landed where it did.

Honest about empty sites

A parked, for-sale, or redirecting domain has no real site to trust — so it gets no score at all, not a flattering number.
