These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The domain operates as a background analytics and measurement service, which explains why users encounter it without visiting it directly. Our analysis shows it has been flagged by several antivirus partners, including BitDefender, for suspicious connections and expired security certificates. While it appears in cookie notices for some legitimate businesses, its lack of a public-facing website and hidden ownership are typical of aggressive tracking networks. The domain is approximately 11 months old and maintains a high traffic rank, yet it fails to render a standard user interface. This combination of background activity and security flags warrants caution when interacting with sites that load its scripts.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site does not host a traditional user-facing storefront or service. Our crawler found it to be a JavaScript-heavy environment likely used for serving tracking pixels or collecting telemetry data.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted on an IP with a relatively clean reputation, though it has been associated with expired SSL certificates in the recent past. It currently uses a GoDaddy-issued certificate that is nearing its expiration date.

Domain History

Registered in July 2025, the domain is nearly a year old. The registrant information is entirely hidden behind privacy services, which is common for third-party ad-tech domains but limits transparency.

Web Reputation

The site has a polarizing reputation. While some independent review aggregators give it a high trust score based on traffic volume, security forums and community reports frequently cite it as a source of 'suspicious connection' alerts and browser blocks.
Risk Factors
5
  • Multiple reports of antivirus engines blocking connections to this domain.
  • History of expired security certificates causing browser warnings.
  • Hidden WHOIS registrant information prevents business verification.
  • Listed on several privacy-focused blocklists for aggressive tracking.
  • Operates as a 'headless' site with no clear public-facing content or contact info.
Positive Signals
3
  • High global traffic ranking suggests widespread integration.
  • No confirmed malware or phishing campaigns directly attributed to the domain.
  • Appears in the cookie consent managers of some established retail sites.
AI Recommendation
You do not need to visit this site directly. If your security software blocks it while you are on other websites, it is likely preventing background data tracking.

Key findings
7 headline facts from open-web research
  • Domain registered on 2025-07-17 (approximately 11-12 months old as of mid-2026), with WHOIS registrant information fully hidden.
  • Described in multiple forums as an "analytics collecting website" possibly associated with ad servers or measurement services; listed in EasyPrivacy blocklists.
  • Triggers repeated Bitdefender warnings for "suspicious connection" or "expired certificate" on various sites (e.g. maxroll.gg, Discord bot setup), even when users are not directly visiting it.
  • High traffic reported (Semrush rank ~21k in US with 800K+ visits in May 2026), yet content analysis often fails and site has been reported as down during some AV alerts.
  • Scamadviser deems it "legit" with valid SSL but notes young age and high traffic as concerns; ScamDoc gives poor 25% trust score primarily due to new domain and hidden owner.
  • Listed on threat intel platforms (AlienVault OTX, VirusTotal, Pulsedive, JoeSandbox) but no confirmed malware or scam campaigns directly attributed in public reports.
  • Appears in cookie notices on legitimate sites (e.g. CDW, EloTouch) as a third-party tracking domain.
