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

OnlineWebFonts.COM operates as a popular online platform offering a vast catalog of over 8 million free desktop and web fonts for preview and download. The website targets designers, developers, and general users seeking font resources, providing additional tools such as font format converters and embedding code generators. The business model revolves around free font distribution and community engagement through font design job listings. Technically, the site is built on WordPress and leverages common web technologies including jQuery and JavaScript, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and secure form submissions, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response policies. Privacy compliance is addressed with a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, indicating GDPR awareness. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, impacting overall trustworthiness. The site is safe for general audiences with no adult or explicit content detected.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…
  2. 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

  3. 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

  • 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 holds a strong market position as a comprehensive free font resource with a large user base and active font designer community. Its competitive advantage lies in the extensive font catalog and integrated font conversion tools. Revenue streams are not explicitly detailed but likely include advertising and possibly premium services. The target customer segments include graphic designers, web developers, and hobbyists. Growth indicators include continuous addition of new fonts and active community features. The partnership ecosystem is not clearly defined, and no related or subsidiary domains were identified. Operationally, the site maintains a professional appearance but lacks transparent business contact information, which could hinder trust and partnership opportunities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Compliance with privacy regulations is partially addressed through privacy and cookie policies, but incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a significant red flag that may indicate domain registration issues or privacy protection misuse. Overall, the security culture appears minimal with room for improvement in transparency and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance security transparency.
  3. Provide explicit and verified contact information including support and security contacts.
  4. Investigate and resolve the domain WHOIS registration status to improve legitimacy and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard WordPress CMS platform with JavaScript and CSS for frontend interactivity and styling. It employs jQuery and custom scripts for UI components such as font selection and search functionality. Performance is moderate with preconnect and preload hints for font resources, indicating some optimization efforts. Mobile responsiveness is good, supported by dedicated mobile CSS. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph properties for social sharing. However, the absence of advanced security headers and limited visible backend infrastructure details suggest potential technical debt and modernization opportunities. Regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies are recommended to mitigate risks.
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.
