westelm.com resolves to a single address, so there is no DNS-level redundancy.
Mail is handled by 1 exchanger.

Who runs DNS and mail for westelm.com?

Mail is handled by Microsoft 365.
No AAAA records are published, so the site is reachable over IPv4 only.

1 email address appears in the homepage markup, where address-harvesting crawlers will find it.
Can westelm.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.
CAA records restrict certificate issuance to 3 named authorities (issue digicert.com, issue amazonaws.com, issue letsencrypt.org), so no other CA should be able to issue 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 does robots.txt allow?
No robots.txt was served. Crawlers treat a missing file as permission to crawl
everything, so this is an open crawl policy by default rather than a blocked one.
What structured data does the homepage publish?
- WebPage
The homepage publishes 1 structured data type: WebPage.
What does westelm.com load from third parties?
The homepage pulls resources from 3 third-party hosts (js.klarna.com, player.vimeo.com, westelm.co.uk). Each one sees the visitor IP and user agent on every page load.
No cookies are set on first load.
The page links or refers to Facebook, Instagram.
Does westelm.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://www.westelm.co.uk/, so the site settles on one canonical hostname.
How easily can westelm.com be crawled?
No readable sitemap was found, so crawlers have to discover every page by following links.
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 westelm.com run?
No analytics or advertising trackers were detected on the homepage of westelm.com, which is unusual for a commercial site.
How does westelm.com look when shared?
No Open Graph or Twitter Card tags are present. Links shared to social platforms will fall back to whatever the platform can scrape, usually just a bare URL.
How are images, fonts and scripts handled?
76 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 4 external stylesheets and 10 external scripts, with 1 carrying defer or async.
Is westelm.com accessible and current?
The page uses 4 landmark elements and 1 ARIA attribute.
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 westelm.com?
Nothing on the homepage prevents indexing: no noindex is set in the robots meta tag or the X-Robots-Tag header.
The canonical points to a different host (https://www.westelm.co.uk/), which tells search engines the authoritative copy lives elsewhere.
The homepage carries 474 internal and 90 external links across 7 outside hosts.
Visible text makes up 5.6% of the HTML.
How is westelm.com delivered?
The HTML is served with Cache-Control: max-age=194, s-maxage=300.
The TLS certificate also covers 1 subdomain: aktest-secure.westelm.com.
