0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Chromehunt.com is a niche technology website focused on aggregating and listing Google Chrome browser extensions and plugins. The site provides users with a searchable directory of over 22,000 Chrome extensions, categorized by various themes such as privacy, functionality, and social networking. The business model appears to be content aggregation and discovery, targeting users seeking to enhance their Chrome browsing experience. The website uses modern web technologies including Vue.js and Nuxt.js frameworks, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The design is professional and mobile-optimized, offering a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. However, the site lacks visible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, and does not provide contact or business registration information, which impacts its business credibility and privacy compliance. Security posture is weak due to missing security headers and lack of incident response information. WHOIS data is unavailable, raising concerns about domain legitimacy and registration status. Overall, the site is functional and content-rich but requires improvements in security, compliance, and transparency to enhance trust and credibility.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Chromehunt operates as a specialized directory for Chrome extensions, serving a tech-savvy audience interested in browser customization and productivity tools. Its competitive advantage lies in the extensive catalog and daily updates from the Chrome Web Store. The business likely generates revenue through affiliate links or advertising, although no explicit monetization details are found. The absence of company registration and contact details limits transparency. The site’s partnership ecosystem is unclear, with external links primarily to the Chrome Web Store and Google services. Growth indicators include a large extension database and multilingual support. Strategic observations suggest focusing on compliance, security, and establishing clear business identity to build user trust and expand market presence.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a low security maturity level. It lacks essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are critical for mitigating common web attacks. HTTPS usage is assumed but not explicitly confirmed in the data. No evidence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response mechanisms is present. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Data collection is performed via Google Tag Manager, but no clear data retention or user consent mechanisms are visible. The security culture appears minimal, with no visible certifications or security frameworks adopted. These gaps expose the site to potential risks including data leakage and regulatory penalties. Immediate improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response readiness are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configuration to secure user data.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Provide clear contact information and establish an incident response process including security contact channels.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and perform regular security audits to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks Vue.js and Nuxt.js, indicating a contemporary front-end architecture. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and offers a structured navigation system with categorized content. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is detected. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed and accessibility. The absence of security headers and privacy compliance features suggests technical debt in security and regulatory adherence. Opportunities exist to modernize backend infrastructure, improve SEO, and enhance user privacy controls to align with best practices.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
