What is TrustRacer?
TrustRacer is a digital safety hub designed to help you navigate the web with confidence. At the heart of our platform is the Trust Checker — a smart tool that analyzes websites and delivers clear reports, from quick technical checks to detailed breakdowns of reputation, safety signals, and user feedback.
But TrustRacer is more than a checker. Our site also features:
- Online Safety Guides to protect yourself from scams and fraud
- Expert Insights & Articles on risk, security, and trustworthy practices
- News & Updates on the latest trends in online safety
With TrustRacer, you get one reliable place to check, learn, and stay safe online.
Our mission
At TrustRacer, our mission is to make the internet a safer place for everyone. We empower people with transparent website checks, practical safety guides, and up-to-date insights so they can recognize risks, avoid scams, and make informed choices online. By combining smart technology with trustworthy content, we aim to build confidence, protect users, and help create a digital world where trust comes first.
How our checker works
The TrustRacer Checker scans websites using a mix of real-time technical data and reputation signals to help you understand how safe a site really is. In just a few seconds, you receive a clear, easy-to-read report showing whether a website looks safe, suspicious, or dangerous. Our system combines automated API checks with curated data from trusted sources, ensuring that the results are both accurate and up to date.
The difference between reports
We offer two types of reports to match different needs.
- Basic Report: A quick scan available for any website. Fully automated and generated in real time, it provides a safety status (safe, suspicious, or dangerous) across up to 10 key criteria, such as technical setup, security features, and risk factors.
- Extended Report: A more detailed analysis available for brands in our database. Alongside technical checks, it includes manual research, user reviews, trust signals, reputation insights, and a full trust score from 1 to 100. Extended reports offer a complete overview of a brand’s online credibility, helping users make safer decisions.
What we check
TrustRacer analyzes websites across dozens of technical, security, and reputation criteria to give you a clear picture of their trustworthiness. Our checker reviews domain data (age, registration, WHOIS updates), SSL certificates, hosting details, server performance, and blacklist status. We also look at brand-level information such as company registration, ownership, contact details, social profiles, and international presence. Beyond technical signals, TrustRacer evaluates user reviews, ratings across trusted platforms, recent news mentions, and even awards or recognition. The result is a comprehensive trust profile that helps you instantly spot safe websites and avoid risky ones.
Our data sources
TrustRacer reports are powered by a combination of leading security APIs, open data registries, and reputation platforms. We integrate trusted services like Google Safe Browsing, VirusTotal, WhoisXML API, SSL Checker, IP-API, and PageSpeed Insights to verify technical and security details in real time. For deeper insights, we use tools such as BuiltWith, SimilarWeb, and RDAP to gather data on website infrastructure, traffic, and registrar information. We also enrich our reports with user ratings from platforms like Trustpilot, SiteJabber, and Reviews.io, along with financial and market data sources for relevant industries. By combining automated checks with curated sources, TrustRacer delivers a complete and transparent view of website trustworthiness.
