publish them elsewhere.

Analysed domains sharing the same network (AS54113 Fastly, Inc.):
Sharing a network means sharing a host or CDN. It implies nothing about a
relationship between the sites themselves.
Other analysed domains served from the same country:
- 3d496.com

When was pinterest.com registered?
pinterest.com was registered on 26 November 2009, which makes it about 16 years old.
A registration this old means the domain has been renewed repeatedly, which costs money every year and is not something abandoned or disposable projects tend to do.
The registrar of record is MarkMonitor Inc..
Registration expires in 30 days (26 November 2026), which is close enough that a missed renewal would take the site offline.
The domain carries 6 registry locks, which blocks unauthorised transfer or deletion.
| Registered | 26 November 2009 |
|---|---|
| Expires | 26 November 2026 |
| Registrar | MarkMonitor Inc. |
| Registry status | client delete prohibited, client transfer prohibited, client update prohibited, server delete prohibited, server transfer prohibited, server update prohibited |
Where is pinterest.com hosted?
The first address resolves to infrastructure in Montreal, Canada.
The network is operated by Fastly, Inc. (AS54113 Fastly, Inc.).
Hosting location describes where the responding server sits, not where the business is. A CDN will report its nearest edge rather than the origin.
What is pinterest.com running on?
No platform, framework or analytics fingerprints were found in the homepage markup of pinterest.com. That usually means hand-written HTML, an uncommon stack, or a page assembled entirely at the edge.
No recognisable platform, framework or analytics fingerprints were found in the homepage markup.
How does the homepage respond?
The server answered with HTTP 200 over
HTTPS.
At 304ms to first byte this response is unremarkable for a homepage measured from a single European location.
The HTML alone is 1099KB before images, stylesheets or scripts are counted, which is heavy for a document that browsers must parse before anything renders.
The HTML is compressed with gzip.
| Server header | not disclosed |
|---|---|
| Compression | gzip |
| Page size | 1,125,258 bytes |
| Declared language | en |
| Mobile viewport | declared |
What does the homepage say about itself?
The title is only 9 characters, which is short enough that it probably is not describing the page so much as naming it.
There is no meta description, so the snippet shown in search results is assembled by the search engine from whatever text it considers relevant.
No H1 heading was found, so the page offers no single top-level statement of what it is.
| Title | Pinterest (9 chars) |
|---|---|
| Meta description | — none — (0 chars) |
| H1 | — none — (0 on the page) |
| Canonical | not set |
| Open Graph title | not set |
| Headings / images | 0 H2s, 0 images (0 without alt text) |
Is pinterest.com served over a valid certificate?
The HTTPS certificate is issued by DigiCert Inc and is
valid until 2027-02-26, which is 144 days from the date of this check. It covers
96 hostnames.
- *.pinterest.com
- *.pinimg.com
- *.pinterest.info
- *.pinterest.engineering
- *.pinterestmail.com
- *.pinterest.at
- *.pinterest.ch
- *.pinterest.de
- *.pinterest.dk
- *.pinterest.ie
- *.pinterest.jp
- *.pinterest.kr
The certificate has 144 days left to run.
It covers 96 hostnames, which is characteristic of a shared or platform-issued certificate rather than one bought for this domain alone.
Which security headers does it set?
5 of 6 are set (HSTS, Content Security Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy). Absent: Permissions-Policy.
| Header | Set | Value |
|---|---|---|
| HSTS | yes | max-age=31536000 ; includeSubDomains ; preload |
| Content Security Policy | yes | default-src 'self' blob: s.pinimg.com s1.pinimg.com s2.pinimg.com; font-src 'self' m.media-amazon.com *.amazon-adsystem. |

|---|---|
| Reverse DNS | 151.101.128.84, 151.101.192.84 |
| Name servers | ns6.pinterest.com, ns9.pinterest.com, ns10.pinterest.com, ns5.pinterest.com |

| SPF | v=spf1 redirect=_spf.pinterest.com |
| TXT records | 43 |
pinterest.com resolves to 4 addresses, which indicates load balancing or a CDN rather than a single origin server.
Mail is handled by 5 exchangers.
An SPF record is published, giving receiving servers a rule for which hosts may send as this domain.

Who runs DNS and mail for pinterest.com?
Mail is handled by Google Workspace.
No AAAA records are published, so the site is reachable over IPv4 only.
What else is worth noting about pinterest.com?
64 of 64 externally hosted scripts carry no subresource integrity hash. If one of those hosts were compromised, the replacement script would run with full access to the page.
Can pinterest.com be spoofed in email?
DMARC is set to reject, the strictest setting: mail that fails authentication is refused outright. This is the configuration that actually stops domain spoofing.
CAA records restrict certificate issuance to 1 named authority (issue digicert.com; cansignhttpexchanges=yes), so no other CA should be able to issue for this domain.
The zone is not DNSSEC-signed. That is still the norm for most domains, but it means DNS answers cannot be cryptographically verified.
What else does pinterest.com publish?
An ads.txt file is published with 8 entries, which means the site sells programmatic advertising and has declared who may resell its inventory.
An app-ads.txt file is also published, which indicates mobile app inventory alongside the website.
What does robots.txt allow?
robots.txt is 37,852 bytes and names
310 user-agent groups.
It disallows all crawlers from the site root.

AI crawler policy
robots.txt names no AI crawlers specifically, so they fall under whatever rule
applies to User-agent: *.
What structured data does the homepage publish?
- WebSite
- SearchAction
- EntryPoint
The homepage publishes 3 structured data types: WebSite, SearchAction, EntryPoint.
What does pinterest.com load from third parties?
The homepage pulls resources from 4 third-party hosts (accounts.google.com, c.aps.amazon-adsystem.com, chrome.google.com, s.pinimg.com). Each one sees the visitor IP and user agent on every page load.
4 cookies are set before any interaction (csrftoken, _pinterest_sess, _auth, _routing_id). 1 lacks the Secure flag.
1 resource is referenced over plain HTTP on an HTTPS page, which browsers block or flag as mixed content.
The page links or refers to Facebook, YouTube.
| Cookie | Secure | HttpOnly | SameSite |
|---|---|---|---|
| csrftoken | yes | no | lax |
| _pinterest_sess | yes | yes | none |
| _auth | yes | yes | none/unset |
| _routing_id | no | yes | none/unset |
Does pinterest.com settle on one address?
Plain HTTP redirects to HTTPS, so visitors who type the bare address still land on the secure version.
Both pinterest.com and www.pinterest.com answer with 200 and neither redirects to the other. Search engines therefore see two complete copies of the site, and link equity is split between them unless a canonical tag resolves it.
How easily can pinterest.com be crawled?
No readable sitemap was found, so crawlers have to discover every page by following links.
A deliberately invalid URL returns HTTP 200 rather than 404. That is a soft 404: every mistyped or stale link becomes an indexable page, which inflates the site with duplicates.
What tracking does pinterest.com run?
1 tracking script detected: Meta Pixel.
No consent management platform was detected alongside them. Where GDPR or the ePrivacy Directive applies, analytics and advertising scripts generally need consent before they load.
How does pinterest.com look when shared?
All five social preview tags are present, so links shared to social platforms and chat apps will render with a title, description and image.
The page declares 37 hreflang alternates (es-AR, de-AT, en-AU, pt, en-CA, en-CH, es-CL, es-CO, cs, de, da, es), so it targets more than one language or region.
How are images, fonts and scripts handled?
Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which means every page view also contacts Google. Self-hosting removes that dependency.
The page pulls 0 external stylesheets and 64 external scripts, with 64 carrying defer or async.
Is pinterest.com accessible and current?
The page uses 0 landmark elements and 0 ARIA attributes.
No skip-to-content link was found, which keyboard users rely on to bypass navigation.
Can search engines index pinterest.com?
Nothing on the homepage prevents indexing: no noindex is set in the robots meta tag or the X-Robots-Tag header.
No canonical URL is declared, which leaves duplicate addresses of this page to be resolved by the search engine.
The homepage carries 0 internal and 1 external link across 1 outside host.
Visible text is only 0.6% of the HTML, which indicates the page is assembled in the browser rather than served as content.
How is pinterest.com delivered?
No Cache-Control header is sent for the HTML, so caching behaviour is left to browser defaults.
HTTP/3 is advertised via alt-svc, so modern browsers will upgrade to QUIC after the first visit.
A web app manifest is declared, so the site is installable as a progressive web app.
Frequently asked questions
Does pinterest.com set the usual HTTP security headers?
It sets 5 of 6. The ones not present are: Permissions-Policy.
Does pinterest.com allow AI crawlers?
robots.txt names no AI crawler specifically, so they fall under the wildcard rule, which does not disallow them.
Where does this data come from?
Every figure was measured by our own server on 5 October 2026: DNS lookups, one HTTPS request to the homepage, a TLS handshake and a request for robots.txt. No third-party SEO API is involved.
Is any of this traffic or authority data?
No. Traffic, authority and ranking figures cannot be measured by inspecting a domain, only modelled. Everything here is a direct observation.
I own pinterest.com and want this page removed.
Ask through the contact page on this site, from an address at the domain, and the report will be taken down. It only ever shows what the domain already serves publicly.
