Website Overview

An established domain and managed infrastructure suggest continuity of operations and may support dependable delivery, although neither guarantees service quality. Several search or sharing settings need attention. Together they may make snippets, preview images or preferred URLs less consistent across platforms.

Domain and Registration

Registered in 1997, this domain has about 29 years of history. That suggests continuity, although ownership and purpose may have changed. Transfer-protection status is present, helping reduce the risk of unauthorized domain transfers. The domain uses .gov, a restricted namespace whose registration normally has eligibility requirements. Registration contact information is publicly available through RDAP.

DNS and Email

The lowest TTL is 30 seconds, supporting rapid record changes at the cost of more frequent lookups. Nameservers are provided by Cloudflare, indicating managed DNS hosting. MX records point to the Microsoft 365 email service. DNSSEC is enabled, allowing validating resolvers to authenticate signed DNS data. SPF and DMARC are configured. DKIM status is unknown.

TLS and Certificates

The certificate includes the organization field U.S. Geological Survey. The certificate issuer is DigiCert Inc, a commercial certificate authority. The certificate uses an RSA 2048-bit public key, offering broad client compatibility. The server supplied a complete certificate chain. The certificate is valid for about 186 days in total, with 152 days remaining.

HTTP and Browser Security

The response lacks these common security headers: CSP, Permissions-Policy. No X-Powered-By header was found, reducing one common source of backend fingerprinting information. The x-cache, via response header indicates a CDN or caching proxy in the delivery path. No obvious internal addresses or debug information were found in the headers. The Server header identifies nginx without an exact version.

Technology Stack Analysis

The public page identifies Drupal 10 (https://www.drupal.org), Drupal, Google Tag Manager, Amazon CloudFront, nginx without precise versions, leaving fewer clues for version-specific scanning.

Search and Social Sharing

The meta description has 375 characters and may be shortened in search results. The Generator tag identifies Drupal 10 (https://www.drupal.org), making the publishing system easier to fingerprint. Open Graph is partially configured; og:description is missing. The title has 39 characters, within a common display range. The observed directives allow indexing and link following.
