When was lulu.com registered?

The registrar of record is MarkMonitor Inc..

Registration runs until 4 January 2028.

The domain carries 3 registry locks, which blocks unauthorised transfer or deletion.

Where is lulu.com hosted?

The first address resolves to infrastructure in Toronto, Canada.

The network is operated by Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.).

Hosting location describes where the responding server sits, not where the business is. A CDN will report its nearest edge rather than the origin.

What is lulu.com running on?

lulu.com exposes 3 identifiable technologies: Next.js, X-Powered-By: Next.js, Cloudflare.

The build output indicates a server-rendered JavaScript framework, which means the HTML served to crawlers is generated ahead of time rather than assembled in the browser.

Cloudflare sits in front of the origin, so the server header, IP addresses and response timing describe the edge rather than the machine actually running the site.

  • Next.js
  • X-Powered-By: Next.js
  • Cloudflare

How does the homepage respond?

The server answered with HTTP 200 over
HTTPS.

At 224ms to first byte this response is unremarkable for a homepage measured from a single European location.

The HTML weighs 286KB, which is ordinary for a homepage.

The HTML is compressed with gzip.

Server header cloudflare
Compression gzip
Page size 293,372 bytes
Declared language en
Mobile viewport declared

What does the homepage say about itself?

The title is 63 characters, inside the range that displays without truncation.

A meta description of 136 characters is present.

No H1 heading was found, so the page offers no single top-level statement of what it is.

All 40 images on the homepage have alt attributes.

Open Graph title Global Book Printing, Publishing, and Technology Company | Lulu
Headings / images 6 H2s, 40 images (0 without alt text)

Is lulu.com served over a valid certificate?

The HTTPS certificate is issued by Google Trust Services and is
valid until 2026-11-24, which is 50 days from the date of this check. It covers
9 hostnames.

  • lulu.com
  • *.it.lulu.com
  • *.test.lulu.com
  • *.lulu.com
  • *.sandbox.lulu.com
  • *.upp-integration.testing.lulu.com
  • *.experimental.lulu.com
  • *.production.lulu.com
  • *.testing.lulu.com

The certificate has 50 days left to run.

Which security headers does it set?

None of the 6 headers checked are set. That is the default state of most servers rather than evidence of a problem, but it means the browser is given no instructions it could otherwise act on.

Without HSTS, a browser that has never visited before will try HTTP first, which is the window a network attacker needs.

With no Content Security Policy, any script that reaches the page — including one injected through a compromised third-party dependency — runs with full access to it.

Header Set Value
HSTS no —
Content Security Policy no —
X-Content-Type-Options no —
X-Frame-Options no —
Referrer-Policy no —
Permissions-Policy no —

How is DNS configured for lulu.com?

IP addresses 104.18.12.232, 104.18.13.232, 2606:4700::6812:ce8, 2606:4700::6812:de8
Reverse DNS 104.18.12.232, 104.18.13.232
Name servers cecelia.ns.cloudflare.com, lakas.ns.cloudflare.com
Mail (MX) aspmx.l.google.com (pri 1), alt3.aspmx.l.google.com (pri 10), alt4.aspmx.l.google.com (pri 10), alt1.aspmx.l.google.com (pri 5), alt2.aspmx.l.google.com (pri 5)
SPF v=spf1 mx a ip4:160.72.45.1/24 include:shops.shopify.com include:_spf.google.com -all
TXT records 11

lulu.com resolves to 4 addresses, which indicates load balancing or a CDN rather than a single origin server.

Mail is handled by 5 exchangers.

An SPF record is published, giving receiving servers a rule for which hosts may send as this domain.

Reverse DNS resolves to 104.18.12.232, 104.18.13.232, which usually names the hosting provider.

Who runs DNS and mail for lulu.com?

DNS is operated by Cloudflare rather than self-hosted name servers.

Mail is handled by Google Workspace.

The domain publishes AAAA records and accepts connections over IPv6.

What else is worth noting about lulu.com?

The server discloses software detail in x-powered-by, which tells an attacker what to target without them having to probe for it.

Can lulu.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.

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 else does lulu.com publish?

A security.txt file is published, giving security researchers a documented way to report vulnerabilities. Very few sites bother.

What does robots.txt allow?

robots.txt is 1,777 bytes and names
12 user-agent groups.

It does not blanket-disallow general crawlers.

Sitemaps declared:

  • https://www.lulu.com/sitemap_index.xml
  • https://blog.lulu.com/sitemap.xml
  • https://help.lulu.com/support/sitemap.xml
  • https://developers.lulu.com/sitemap.xml

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?

  • Organization
  • Corporation
  • ImageObject
  • Brand
  • Service
  • Place
  • Offer

The homepage publishes 7 structured data types: Organization, Corporation, ImageObject, Brand, Service, Place, Offer.

What does lulu.com load from third parties?

The homepage pulls resources from 2 third-party hosts (fonts.gstatic.com, images.ctfassets.net). Each one sees the visitor IP and user agent on every page load.

1 cookie is set before any interaction (lulu_visitor_id).

The page links or refers to X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube.

Cookie Secure HttpOnly SameSite
lulu_visitor_id yes no none/unset

Does lulu.com settle on one address?

Plain HTTP redirects to HTTPS, so visitors who type the bare address still land on the secure version.

Both lulu.com and www.lulu.com answer with 200 and neither redirects to the other. Search engines therefore see two complete copies of the site, and link equity is split between them unless a canonical tag resolves it.

How easily can lulu.com be crawled?

A sitemap index is served at https://www.lulu.com/sitemap_index.xml listing 34 entries.

A deliberately invalid URL correctly returns HTTP 404, so missing pages will not be indexed.

What tracking does lulu.com run?

No analytics or advertising trackers were detected on the homepage of lulu.com, which is unusual for a commercial site.

How does lulu.com look when shared?

4 of 5 social preview tags are set. Missing: twitter:card.

The page declares 6 hreflang alternates (x-default, en, de, es, fr, it), so it targets more than one language or region.

How are images, fonts and scripts handled?

40 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.

Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which means every page view also contacts Google. Self-hosting removes that dependency.

The page pulls 1 external stylesheet and 8 external scripts, with 8 carrying defer or async.

Responses carry Cloudflare edge headers, so content is served from a CDN rather than straight from the origin.

Is lulu.com accessible and current?

The page uses 4 landmark elements and 91 ARIA attributes.

There are 1 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 lulu.com?

Nothing on the homepage prevents indexing: no noindex is set in the robots meta tag or the X-Robots-Tag header.

The homepage carries 71 internal and 20 external links across 9 outside hosts.

Visible text is only 2.4% of the HTML, which indicates the page is assembled in the browser rather than served as content.

The heading outline skips 6 levels, which breaks the document structure screen readers navigate by.

How is lulu.com delivered?

The HTML is served with Cache-Control: public, max-age=14400.

No favicon is declared in the markup.

The TLS certificate also covers 7 subdomains: it.lulu.com, test.lulu.com, sandbox.lulu.com, upp-integration.testing.lulu.com, experimental.lulu.com, production.lulu.com, testing.lulu.com.

  • it.lulu.com
  • test.lulu.com
  • sandbox.lulu.com
  • upp-integration.testing.lulu.com
  • experimental.lulu.com
  • production.lulu.com
  • testing.lulu.com

Frequently asked questions

Does lulu.com set the usual HTTP security headers?

It sets 0 of 6. The ones not present are: HSTS, Content Security Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy.

Does lulu.com allow AI crawlers?

robots.txt names no AI crawler specifically, so they fall under the wildcard rule, which does not disallow them.

What is lulu.com built with?

The homepage exposes these fingerprints: Next.js, X-Powered-By: Next.js, Cloudflare. A site behind a CDN or rendered server-side may use more than it reveals.

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 lulu.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.
