dictionary.com Overview

Description of dictionary.com

Dictionary.com appears to be a long-established online reference website focused on English-language definitions, meanings, pronunciation, synonyms, word origins, and related educational content. The page metadata and screenshot indicate that it offers a searchable dictionary interface along with editorial features such as a Word of the Day, articles, language tips, and links to related reference resources such as a thesaurus.

Based on the domain name, page content, and third-party categorization data, the site is widely associated with education and reference materials. Its very old domain registration date and strong traffic ranking suggest it is a well-known web property with a substantial user base rather than a newly created or obscure site.

Safety Assessment for dictionary.com

The available scan results appear favorable. At the time of this scan, 0 out of 91 security engines flagged the domain, the malware scan reported 0 flagged files out of 89 checked, and the listed threat-database checks did not report phishing or malware-related listings. Multiple web-classification providers also categorized the site as education or reference content, which is consistent with the visible page content.

Additional context also supports a lower-risk assessment: the domain has been registered for decades, has a strong traffic ranking, and the screenshot shows a functioning dictionary and reference portal rather than login harvesting, fake giveaways, or other common abuse patterns. Advertising and analytics-related third-party resources are present, which is common on large content sites and does not by itself indicate malicious activity.

Based on available data, no threats were detected at the time of this scan.

Technical Description

The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate issued by a mainstream certificate authority, and the observed infrastructure appears to be fronted by Cloudflare. The resolved server IP was 172.64.145.130, with hosting attributed to Cloudflare in Toronto, Canada. Nameservers are hosted through AWS DNS, indicating use of established cloud infrastructure.

DNSSEC appears to be unsigned, which is not uncommon but means DNS responses may not benefit from that additional layer of authenticity protection. No major technical security concerns were evident from the provided scan data, and blacklist checks were clean at the time of review.
