Is This Website Legit? How Our Website Trust Check Works

By Personpages Editorial · October 1, 2026 · 6 min read

Before you pay a new online shop, broker or service, you want to know two things: is it real, and who is behind it? Our website check answers both.

What a website report contains

  • Trust score (0–100) built from domain age, review platforms, company records and scam reports.
  • Owners and key people — click any name to run a people search on them.
  • Ratings from Trustpilot, BBB, Google and G2, with review counts.
  • Revenue and funding when publicly reported.
  • Red flags such as brand-new domains, hidden WHOIS, copied content or regulator warnings.

Why it beats single-signal scam checkers

Most "is it legit" tools look at one thing — usually domain age or a blacklist. A brand-new legitimate startup fails those, while an old scam domain passes. We combine every public signal and show the evidence, so you can judge for yourself.
