What is soaps.com about?
The words appearing most often on the homepage, excluding common filler, are
a rough indication of subject matter rather than a description of the business:
- news ×17
- soaps ×13
- spoilers ×11
- beautiful ×9
- hospital ×9
- bold ×8
- general ×8
- days ×7
- lives ×7
- young ×7
Does soaps.com publish the usual trust pages?
None of about, contact, privacy or terms could be found at their usual addresses.
That is common for small or single-purpose sites, and it is also what a disposable
site looks like, so it is worth noting rather than concluding from.
These were checked at conventional paths only, so a site using different URLs may
publish them elsewhere.

What is soaps.com running on?
soaps.com exposes 5 identifiable technologies: WordPress, jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, X-Powered-By: WordPress VIP <https://wpvip.com>.
WordPress is identifiable from its asset paths, so the platform is public knowledge regardless of whether the version is hidden. That matters mainly for patching discipline: known-platform sites are scanned automatically and constantly.
Visitor tracking is present (Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager), so this homepage is not cookie-free.

| Name servers | ns-902.awsdns-48.net, ns-1445.awsdns-52.org, ns-161.awsdns-20.com, ns-1955.awsdns-52.co.uk |

soaps.com resolves to a single address, so there is no DNS-level redundancy.
Mail is handled by 1 exchanger.
An SPF record is published, giving receiving servers a rule for which hosts may send as this domain.
Reverse DNS resolves to 151.101.52.204, which usually names the hosting provider.
Who runs DNS and mail for soaps.com?
DNS is operated by Amazon Route 53 rather than self-hosted name servers.
Mail is handled by Microsoft 365.
No AAAA records are published, so the site is reachable over IPv4 only.
What else is worth noting about soaps.com?
47 of 47 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.
The server discloses software detail in x-powered-by, which tells an attacker what to target without them having to probe for it.
Can soaps.com be spoofed in email?
No DMARC record is published, so there is no instruction telling receiving servers what to do with mail that fails authentication. In practice that means forged mail from this domain is likely to be delivered.
No CAA records are published, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate 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?
No robots.txt was served. Crawlers treat a missing file as permission to crawl
everything, so this is an open crawl policy by default rather than a blocked one.
What structured data does the homepage publish?
- Organization
- WebPage
- ImageObject
- Person
The homepage publishes 4 structured data types: Organization, WebPage, ImageObject, Person.
What does soaps.com load from third parties?
The homepage pulls resources from 19 third-party hosts (ads.blogherads.com, cdn.cookielaw.org, cdn.parsely.com, deadline.com, gmpg.org, googletagmanager.com). Each one sees the visitor IP and user agent on every page load.
1 cookie is set before any interaction (h2-2139eda45bc4653aa9de216713873dcf). 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 X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram.
| Cookie | Secure | HttpOnly | SameSite |
|---|---|---|---|
| h2-2139eda45bc4653aa9de216713873dcf | no | no | none/unset |
Does soaps.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 hostname does not respond at all, so anyone typing www.soaps.com reaches nothing.
How easily can soaps.com be crawled?
No readable sitemap was found, so crawlers have to discover every page by following links.
What tracking does soaps.com run?
3 tracking scripts detected: Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar.
A consent platform is in place (OneTrust, Quantcast), so in the EU and UK these should only fire after the visitor agrees.
How does soaps.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.
How are images, fonts and scripts handled?
37 images on the homepage, 0 of them lazy-loaded (0%).
All image references use JPEG, PNG or GIF. WebP or AVIF typically cut image weight substantially at the same visual quality.
The page pulls 7 external stylesheets and 48 external scripts, with 16 carrying defer or async.
No preconnect hints are declared despite third-party scripts being present, so each new origin pays a full connection setup before it can deliver anything.
Responses carry Varnish/Fastly edge and edge cache edge headers, so content is served from a CDN rather than straight from the origin.
Is soaps.com accessible and current?
The page uses 6 landmark elements and 0 ARIA attributes.
The viewport tag disables pinch-zoom. That fails WCAG 1.4.4 and is a genuine problem for anyone who needs to enlarge text.
There are 23 form inputs but only 0 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.
Can search engines index soaps.com?
Nothing on the homepage prevents indexing: no noindex is set in the robots meta tag or the X-Robots-Tag header.
The canonical points to a different host (https://soaps.sheknows.com/), which tells search engines the authoritative copy lives elsewhere.
The homepage carries 11 internal and 181 external links across 41 outside hosts.
Visible text is only 3.8% of the HTML, which indicates the page is assembled in the browser rather than served as content.
The heading outline skips 1 level, which breaks the document structure screen readers navigate by.
How is soaps.com delivered?
The HTML is served with Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0, no-store.

What is soaps.com built with?

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 soaps.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.
