What is kick.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:
- allshow ×9
Does kick.com publish the usual trust pages?
All four of the pages a established business normally publishes were found:
about, contact, privacy and terms.
These were checked at conventional paths only, so a site using different URLs may
publish them elsewhere.

When was kick.com registered?
kick.com was registered on 1 May 1995, which makes it about 31 years old.
A registration this old means the domain has been renewed repeatedly, which costs money every year and is not something abandoned or disposable projects tend to do.
The registrar of record is MarkMonitor Inc..
Registration runs until 2 May 2036.
The domain carries 6 registry locks, which blocks unauthorised transfer or deletion.
| Registered | 1 May 1995 |
|---|---|
| Expires | 2 May 2036 |
| Registrar | MarkMonitor Inc. |
| Registry status | client delete prohibited, client transfer prohibited, client update prohibited, server delete prohibited, server transfer prohibited, server update prohibited |
Where is kick.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 kick.com running on?
kick.com exposes 3 identifiable technologies: Next.js, Cloudflare, Google Analytics.
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.
Visitor tracking is present (Google Analytics), so this homepage is not cookie-free.
- Next.js
- Cloudflare
- Google Analytics
How does the homepage respond?
The server answered with HTTP 200 over
HTTPS.
At 76ms to first byte this response is fast for a homepage measured from a single European location.
The HTML alone is 503KB before images, stylesheets or scripts are counted, which is heavy for a document that browsers must parse before anything renders.
The HTML is compressed with gzip.
| Server header | cloudflare |
|---|---|
| Compression | gzip |
| Page size | 515,000 bytes |
| Declared language | en |
| Mobile viewport | declared |
What does the homepage say about itself?
The title is only 4 characters, which is short enough that it probably is not describing the page so much as naming it.
A meta description of 96 characters is present.
No H1 heading was found, so the page offers no single top-level statement of what it is.
All 5 images on the homepage have alt attributes.
| Title | Kick (4 chars) |
|---|---|
| Meta description | Kick is a streaming platform that makes it easy for you to find and watch your favorite content. (96 chars) |
| H1 | — none — (0 on the page) |
| Canonical | https://kick.com |
| Open Graph title | Kick |
| Headings / images | 3 H2s, 5 images (0 without alt text) |
Is kick.com served over a valid certificate?
The HTTPS certificate is issued by Google Trust Services and is
valid until 2026-12-28, which is 84 days from the date of this check. It covers
2 hostnames.
- kick.com
- teamwater.kick.com
The certificate has 84 days left to run.
It covers 2 hostnames, so it was issued for this site specifically.
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 | — |

| IP addresses | 162.159.235.122, 172.64.235.133, 2606:4700:4b::a29f:eb7a, 2606:4700:4b::ac40:eb85 |
|---|---|
| Reverse DNS | 162.159.235.122, 172.64.235.133 |
| Name servers | kyree.ns.cloudflare.com, leia.ns.cloudflare.com |
| Mail (MX) | au-smtp-inbound-1.mimecast.com (pri 1), au-smtp-inbound-2.mimecast.com (pri 1) |
| SPF | v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:amazonses.com include:au._netblocks.mimecast.com ~all |
| TXT records | 10 |
kick.com resolves to 4 addresses, which indicates load balancing or a CDN rather than a single origin server.
Mail is handled by 2 exchangers.
An SPF record is published, giving receiving servers a rule for which hosts may send as this domain.
Reverse DNS resolves to 162.159.235.122, 172.64.235.133, which usually names the hosting provider.
Who runs DNS and mail for kick.com?
DNS is operated by Cloudflare rather than self-hosted name servers.
Mail is handled by Mimecast.
The domain publishes AAAA records and accepts connections over IPv6.
What else is worth noting about kick.com?
66 of 66 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.
25 email addresses appear in the homepage markup, where address-harvesting crawlers will find them.
Can kick.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 kick.com publish?
A security.txt file is published, giving security researchers a documented way to report vulnerabilities. Very few sites bother.
An ads.txt file is published with 85 entries, which means the site sells programmatic advertising and has declared who may resell its inventory.
An app-ads.txt file is also published, which indicates mobile app inventory alongside the website.
What does robots.txt allow?
robots.txt is 201 bytes and names
1 user-agent group.
It does not blanket-disallow general crawlers.
Sitemaps declared:
- https://kick.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
- Place
- PostalAddress
- ContactPoint
- CreativeWork
- WebSite
The homepage publishes 6 structured data types: Organization, Place, PostalAddress, ContactPoint, CreativeWork, WebSite.
What does kick.com load from third parties?
The homepage pulls resources from 4 third-party hosts (cdn-au.onetrust.com, datadoghq-browser-agent.com, google.com, googletagmanager.com). Each one sees the visitor IP and user agent on every page load.
2 cookies are set before any interaction (__cf_bm, _cfuvid).
The page links or refers to X/Twitter, Instagram.
| Cookie | Secure | HttpOnly | SameSite |
|---|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | yes | yes | none |
| _cfuvid | yes | yes | none |
Does kick.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 address redirects to https://kick.com:443/, so the site settles on one canonical hostname.
How easily can kick.com be crawled?
A sitemap index is served at https://kick.com/sitemap.xml listing 3 entries.
A deliberately invalid URL returns HTTP 200 rather than 404. That is a soft 404: every mistyped or stale link becomes an indexable page, which inflates the site with duplicates.
What tracking does kick.com run?
1 tracking script detected: Google Analytics.
A consent platform is in place (OneTrust), so in the EU and UK these should only fire after the visitor agrees.
How does kick.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?
5 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.
No srcset attributes are used, so every device is served the same image size regardless of screen.
The page pulls 3 external stylesheets and 67 external scripts, with 66 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 Cloudflare edge headers, so content is served from a CDN rather than straight from the origin.
Is kick.com accessible and current?
The page uses 4 landmark elements and 35 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 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 kick.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 47 internal and 5 external links across 5 outside hosts.
Visible text is only 0.2% of the HTML, which indicates the page is assembled in the browser rather than served as content.
How is kick.com delivered?
The HTML is served with Cache-Control: private, no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate.
HTTP/3 is advertised via alt-svc, so modern browsers will upgrade to QUIC after the first visit.
The TLS certificate also covers 1 subdomain: teamwater.kick.com.
- teamwater.kick.com
Frequently asked questions
Does kick.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 kick.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 kick.com built with?
The homepage exposes these fingerprints: Next.js, Cloudflare, Google Analytics. 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 kick.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.
