Confidence
The domain has been registered for nearly 30 years and is the primary web presence for SFR SA, a major French ISP. Our analysis confirms it is hosted on infrastructure belonging to the operator and carries a valid TLS certificate issued by DigiCert. While some automated visual checks flagged potential anomalies, these are likely due to the page's complex JavaScript rendering or regional marketing content. The site is widely recognized as the official brand portal, and its business registration is active and verified in French corporate records.

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page serves as the primary portal for SFR services, including fiber internet, mobile plans, and hardware sales. It features a complex layout with multiple navigation menus for customer support, webmail, and account management.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on dedicated IP space assigned to SFR's own network. It utilizes a high-assurance TLS certificate and loads resources from verified internal subdomains and partner CDNs.

Domain History

Registered in 1994, the domain has a continuous history of ownership by the Société Française du Radiotéléphone. This long-standing tenure is a primary indicator of legitimacy.

Web Reputation

The domain maintains a high global traffic rank and is recognized by all major security providers as a legitimate corporate entity. While consumer review sites show low satisfaction scores, these relate to customer service experiences rather than security risks.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on sfr.fr and not a lookalike like s-fr.fr.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on sfr.fr. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • sfr.fr passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 70/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. sfr.fr presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by DigiCert Inc · Thawte TLS RSA CA G1, expiring in 231 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • sfr.fr is 30.0 years old, registered on 7/22/1996 through SFR. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 1 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged sfr.fr as malicious or suspicious (1 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. sfr.fr is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • sfr.fr resolves to an IP operated by SFR GPRS NETWORK in FR (usage type: Fixed Line ISP). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • Yes. sfr.fr sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.
