wikihow.com Overview

Description of wikihow.com

wikiHow appears to be a long-running reference and how-to website that publishes instructional articles, quizzes, and educational content across a wide range of everyday topics. The homepage branding, page title, and metadata indicate that its primary purpose is to help users learn practical tasks and general knowledge through step-by-step guides.

Based on the domain name, visible content, and third-party categorization, the site is generally associated with reference materials and advice content rather than commerce or software distribution. Its strong web popularity ranking and multi-language subdomains also suggest an established publishing platform with a broad audience and substantial content library.

Safety Assessment for wikihow.com

The available scan data is broadly favorable. At the time of this scan, 0 out of 91 security engines flagged the domain, and the checked blacklist and threat-database entries were clean. The domain is also more than 21 years old and ranks highly in web traffic data, which tends to be more consistent with an established content platform than with short-lived abusive infrastructure.

One malware scan referenced a generic suspicious-object heuristic tied to a script-loading URL and an IP-like string, but this appears to be an isolated, low-confidence pattern match rather than a corroborated threat finding. No scanned files were flagged, and there were no supporting detections from security engines or blacklist providers. Based on available data, no threats were detected at the time of this scan.

Technical Description

The site presented a valid SSL/TLS certificate at the time of testing, with certificate validity extending to 2026-06-22. It appears to be hosted on Fastly infrastructure using the IP address 151.101.1.91, which is consistent with a large content-delivery setup used by established websites. The exact web-server software and protocol details were not identified in the provided scan.

DNSSEC appears to be unsigned, which is not uncommon but means DNS responses may not benefit from that additional layer of authenticity protection. Aside from the isolated generic heuristic noted in one malware scan, no major technical security concerns were evident from the provided data.
