About craigslist.org

We reviewed craigslist.org and found a strong trust profile with some mixed public feedback. Current checks lean more legitimate than deceptive, and the current trust score is 95/100. Key signals include popular site, a long-term domain history, and a long-term SSL certificate (13 months).

FAQ

Is craigslist.org safe?

Based on current analysis, craigslist.org leans generally safe with a 95/100 trust score. Key trust factors include 28.8-year domain history and public traffic rank; mixed review signals should still be checked.

What supports the trust score for craigslist.org?

Key factors include registrar information (MarkMonitor, Inc.), hosting in US, a domain age of 28.8 years, and presence in public traffic rankings. Major malware and phishing engines did not report active blacklist detections at the time of review, but reputation-related warning signals were still present. The trust score blends security detections, domain and infrastructure signals, on-page behavior patterns, and public review history when available. The overall assessment remains mixed because third-party reputation sources do not point to a fully consistent trust profile.
