ICANN Domain Metrica Checker
ICANN's aggregated abuse-feed and popularity data for this domain.
Queries ICANN's Domain Metrica Community API for reported abuse (Spamhaus, SURBL, PhishTank, URLhaus, APWG, and other feeds) and Tranco popularity history over the last 90 days. This is one independent signal used by the Domain Security Score, and can also be run on its own for any domain.
Based on: ICANN Domain Metrica — Community API Documentation

SEOTechTests methodology: Data source: a live ICANN Domain Metrica Community API query covering the last 90 days of reported abuse plus Tranco ranking history. Only feeds not already checked directly elsewhere on this site (APWG, wmcphishfeed) drive this signal's own PASS/FAIL status; hits on sources this site also queries directly (Spamhaus, SURBL, PhishTank, URLhaus) are shown as corroborating context, not counted a second time, so ICANN never doubles a detection already scored by this site's own Spamhaus/SURBL/PhishTank/URLhaus checks.
Standards and vendor-documented behavior can change. This reflects the source as last reviewed above, not a permanent guarantee.
FAQ
What is ICANN Domain Metrica?
It's ICANN's own measurement platform for domain registration and DNS abuse activity, offered as a public dashboard and Community API covering gTLD registries and registrars.
Why is ICANN Domain Metrica included in Domain Security checks?
It's ICANN's official aggregation of several independent abuse feeds (including ones this site doesn't otherwise have direct access to, like APWG's phishing feed) plus Tranco popularity history, in one authoritative source.
What abuse signals does Domain Metrica provide?
For a domain, it returns reported-abuse entries by source (Spamhaus, SURBL, PhishTank, URLhaus, APWG, and others) and type (phishing, malware, botnet C&C), plus a Tranco popularity-rank history.
Does an ICANN result determine whether a domain is safe?
No. It's one aggregated evidence source among many on this site -- a clean result means none of Domain Metrica's feeds reported abuse in the lookback window, not an independent safety guarantee.
Why doesn't a Spamhaus hit reported by ICANN also fail this check?
This site already queries Spamhaus directly and scores it as its own signal -- letting ICANN's report of that same underlying Spamhaus listing also drive a FAIL here would count one detection twice. Only feeds this site has no other access to (APWG, wmcphishfeed) drive this check's own status.
