Reverse DNS resolves to a104-82-225-187.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com, g2a02-26f0-3500-038d-0000-0000-0000-24fe.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com, which usually names the hosting provider.
Who runs DNS and mail for fast.com?
DNS is operated by Akamai rather than self-hosted name servers.
The domain publishes AAAA records and accepts connections over IPv6.
Can fast.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 3 named authorities (issue thawte.com, issue entrust.net, issue pki.goog), 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 does robots.txt allow?
robots.txt is 41 bytes and names 1 user-agent group. It does not blanket-disallow general crawlers.
No sitemap is declared in robots.txt.
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?
No JSON-LD or microdata was found on the homepage.
What does fast.com load from third parties?
The homepage loads no resources from third-party hosts at all, which is rare and means visiting it tells no other company that you did.
No cookies are set on first load.
2 resources are referenced over plain HTTP on an HTTPS page, which browsers block or flag as mixed content.
The page links or refers to X/Twitter.
Does fast.com settle on one address?
Plain HTTP redirects to HTTPS, so visitors who type the bare address still land on the secure version.
The www address redirects to https://fast.com/, so the site settles on one canonical hostname.
How easily can fast.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 fast.com run?
No analytics or advertising trackers were detected on the homepage of fast.com, which is unusual for a commercial site.

How are images, fonts and scripts handled?
The page pulls 2 external stylesheets and 1 external script, with 0 carrying defer or async.
Is fast.com accessible and current?
The page uses 0 landmark elements and 2 ARIA attributes.
There are 7 form inputs but only 3 label elements, so some fields may be unlabelled for screen readers.
No skip-to-content link was found, which keyboard users rely on to bypass navigation.
The page does not open with the HTML5 doctype, which can put browsers into quirks mode.
Can search engines index fast.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 27 internal and 3 external links across 3 outside hosts.
Visible text makes up 10.4% of the HTML.

It sets 1 of 6. The ones not present are: Content Security Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy.
Does fast.com allow AI crawlers?

I own fast.com and want this page removed.
