insteady

scan.insteady.net checks DNS, hosting, and email infrastructure for any domain - no signup, no HTML rendering, no HTTP request to the site itself. Just public DNS/WHOIS records, in seconds.

We built it because "trust us, we're GDPR-compliant" isn't good enough on this topic. So the whole thing is open source (EUPL-1.2, Codeberg) - scoring formula, provider database, every classification decision.

The more interesting part: we ran it on ourselves and found two real mistakes in our own scoring logic that made insteady.net look better than the raw data supported. Both documented and fixed in the public repo.

Try your own domain, read the methodology, or open an issue if something looks wrong: scan.insteady.net

Curious what you find.

Why does insteady have no cookie banner?

Because we don't use cookie-based tracking. There's nothing we'd need your consent for.

Reach measurement runs without cookies, the entire infrastructure sits in the EU, and privacy isn't a box we tick afterwards - it's part of the architecture.

Leaving out a banner is easy. Building a platform so you don't need one is the actual work.

We're building a professional network that works differently - built on integrity, not engagement metrics. Concretely, that means:

• No tracking banners. We don't use cookie-based tracking.
• No engagement algorithm. Your feed follows your interests, not an engagement curve.
• End-to-end encrypted messaging, in both one-to-one and group chats.
• Infrastructure hosted entirely in the EU, built to comply with the GDPR.

We're starting small and we're glad to have everyone who's here from the beginning.
