CAA record

Share of domains publishing no CAA record to restrict which certificate authorities may issue for them.

Measured every Tuesday · last updated

How it is measured

Tier 0. CAA records at the apex. Denominator: any.

Why it matters

Without CAA, any public CA may issue a certificate for the domain, so mis-issuance has no technical backstop. Cheap to publish, almost nobody does.

The base rate

Two independent populations. The global, domain-anchored figure is unbiased; the company-anchored figures are built by matching company names to domains and skew toward more digitally-mature firms. Both are published, so the gap is visible.
