What is a website risk score?
A website risk score is a single 0-100 rating that summarises a site's health across several passive checks — uptime, SSL certificate, DNS, email security and HTTP security headers. SiteGuard Monitor calculates an explainable score so each point lost maps to a specific issue, making it easy to see overall risk and exactly what to fix.
Five separate checks tell you a lot, but a client just wants one number they can understand. This free website risk score checker rolls uptime, SSL, DNS, email security and headers into a single explainable 0-100 score — with the detail behind every point.
The problem with scattered checks
Uptime in one tool, SSL in another, DNS and email security somewhere else — it's hard to say whether a site is actually in good shape. Clients don't want five dashboards; they want to know if they're safe, in one glance.
- Separate tools make overall risk hard to judge
- Issues fall through the cracks between checks
- Clients struggle to interpret raw technical results
How the risk score works
SiteGuard runs a full passive scan and combines the results into one 0-100 score. It's explainable, not a black box — every deduction is tied to a concrete finding, so you can see precisely why a site scored what it did.
- One score across all five check categories
- Each point loss linked to a specific issue
- Clear severity so you know what to fix first
What the score covers
- HTTP/HTTPS uptime and reachability
- SSL certificate validity and expiry
- DNS records and configuration
- Email security (SPF and DMARC) and security headers
From a score to a client deliverable
The risk score is the headline of every SiteGuard report. Add a domain, let it monitor continuously, and the score is tracked over time and packaged into branded monthly PDF or HTML reports you can send straight to clients.
- Score trend tracked over time
- Headlines your branded monthly client reports
- Backed by email and Discord alerts when risk rises
Built on passive, read-only checks
Every input to the score comes from passive, read-only inspection — the same lookups a browser or mail server performs. There's no aggressive scanning or intrusive testing, just a safe, repeatable view of a site's posture.
