Trend

Measured every Thursday since 2026-08-01 — 2 observations to date. Last measured 2026-08-13.

How this is measured

Tier 2, via the DomainAPI TLS endpoint, which tests each protocol version explicitly. Denominator: has_web.

Passive measurement: a single DNS lookup, TLS handshake, or homepage GET per domain. Aggregate-only; no individual company is named. 95% Wilson confidence intervals. Population: national company registries (Companies House, Brreg, SIRENE), sampled by size band and resolved to email-active domains. Parked domains excluded. Snapshot: sirene-france-per600-seed20260730.

Why it matters

Supporting a deprecated protocol version is invisible from the browser — the site loads over TLS 1.3 and looks modern — while the server remains willing to downgrade for anything that asks.

Limits of this measurement

Must be measured server-side. A modern client cannot detect this, because its own OpenSSL refuses to offer TLS 1.0/1.1.
