Proof websites

Be aware that the images may look a bit different than actually presented on the real website, due to changes and your personal configuration.

Read the dashboard list documentation for the generic use of the configured website proof list.

Website verify URL

Before you get a chance to proof the ownership of a website, you firsst have to verify that the website really is yours.

There are over 60 verification rules, to ensure the best quality URL is being used. This includes DNS lookups and a query to the webserver.

Only when your URL is validated, you will get to see the proof options. Clicking on the check mark will show you the check trace displayed on the left.

Website proofs

Various proofs are provided. These all mimic existing practices by other website ownership verfication tools.

	Proof by creating a DNS record Actually, this proof tells us that your DNS administrator approves your website; indirectly your organization. DNS-admins have god-like power over anything what happens in your domain.
	Proof by adding a specific file The /.well-known/ directory is used by a large variation of standards and tools to publish information about the website. You, as website owner, do not need access to DNS to proof your ownership.
	Proof by inserting text into the HTML This is the least desired but perfectly healthy proof: add some text into your frontpage. This text will be sent to everyone who visits your page, which is a waste of bandwidth. Use this method only when the other two options are not available.
