❌ Three website clues
Before you trust a website you don’t know, do three quick checks.
- Look up its whois dates (new + short-term can be risky).
- See where its server is located (odd countries are a warning).
- Check archive.org history (stable over the years feels safer).
- Remember, no test is perfect; this is just quick data to factor into your decision.
