Is .blue safe? The state of .blue domain security
.blue is riskier than the internet average. Across 15,307 graded .blue domains, 82.4% score an F — worse than the 78.3% global average — heavier on exposed domains than the web as a whole. 1.9% earn a B or better. Most .blue domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
Of 12,812 graded .blue domains, 72.7% earn an F — below the 73.8% internet-wide average. Only 0.4% reach an A or A+ — the highest protection tier in the census.
How do .blue domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .blue domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 10 | 0.1% |
| A | 36 | 0.2% |
| B | 250 | 1.6% |
| C | 754 | 4.9% |
| D | 1,639 | 10.7% |
| F | 12,618 | 82.4% |
Does .blue make a domain secure?
No — and that's the most important thing to know. A domain's grade is decided by how it is configured (SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS), not by its ending. Choosing .blue doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .blue domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .blue safe?
On average, .blue is riskier than the internet average: 82.4% of its 15,307 graded domains score an F as of 2026-08-16, against a 78.3% global average. Most domains on every ending are exposed — the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade.
How secure are .blue domains?
17.6% of .blue domains score above an F and 1.9% earn a B or better. The rest fail the basic externally observable protections, most importantly enforced SPF and DMARC, so they can be impersonated in email.
Does choosing .blue make my domain secure?
No. A domain's grade comes from how it is configured — SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS — not from its ending. A well-configured domain earns an A on any ending; an unconfigured one sits at F on .blue too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .blue domain?
It fails the basic protections we can observe from outside — above all, it has no enforced SPF and DMARC, so its email can be forged and its customers targeted with convincing fakes.
