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

Hotels-near-me.today is a small hospitality-focused website designed to help users find hotels with available rooms near their current location. The site emphasizes ease of use and best price guarantees, targeting general travelers seeking immediate accommodation options. The business model revolves around location-based hotel search and availability display, leveraging Google Maps and third-party hotel data. The site is developed using modern web technologies including Vue.js, jQuery, and Google APIs, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the absence of a CMS or hosting details limits deeper infrastructure insights. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS usage is implied but no security headers are detected, and no privacy or cookie policies are present, which reduces compliance maturity. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, common for small websites, with no suspicious indicators. Overall, the site is functional and safe but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

2 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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

The website operates in the hospitality sector, providing a niche service for travelers seeking hotels near their location. It is positioned as a small, independent service created by two individuals, as indicated in the footer. The business model likely relies on affiliate commissions or advertising revenue, supported by Google Ads and tracking tools. The target audience is general travelers, and the site offers a straightforward user experience with location detection and hotel sorting features. Partnerships appear limited to the creators' personal sites. Growth potential depends on expanding hotel data sources and improving user trust through transparency and compliance. The lack of contact information and formal policies may hinder credibility with some users.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS implied by external script sources but lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR. Incident response and security policy information are not provided, limiting readiness assessment. The use of Google Analytics and Ads introduces moderate user tracking without clear privacy disclosures. Overall, the site is functional but should improve security headers, privacy policies, and transparency to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including email or phone to improve business credibility and facilitate incident reporting.
  4. Regularly update all third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to demonstrate security maturity and encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript framework (likely Vue.js) with jQuery and integrates Google services such as Analytics, Tag Manager, and Maps API. The site loads CSS and JS assets from its own domain, indicating self-hosting or dedicated hosting. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization is good with responsive meta tags and scalable fonts. SEO is supported by meta description and Open Graph tags. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA attributes in datepicker components but could be improved. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident. The site lacks explicit security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms, representing technical debt and modernization opportunities.
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.
