MT Intelligence
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.

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.

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.

- 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.

- 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.
