Internet standards compliance test suite
Internet.nl is an initiative of the Dutch Internet Standards Platform that
helps you to check whether your website, email and internet connection use
modern and reliable Internet Standards. And if they don’t, what can you do
about it?
With the test tool Internet.nl users can easily check whether their internet is
‘up to date’ i.e. if their website, email and internet connection use modern
internet standards. The tool provides detailed background information on the
test results with (pointers to) how-to’s and manuals.
The test tool Internet.nl is an initiative of the Dutch Internet Standards
Platform which is a collaboration of partners from the internet community and
the Dutch government. The platform’s mission is to jointly promote the use of
modern internet standards keeping the internet reliable and accessible for
everybody. ECP provides for the administrative home of the
platform. NLnet Labs laid the foundation for
Internet.nl and the underlying tooling.
From 1 April 2021 onwards, maintenance and further development will be carried
out by the project team of the Internet Standards Platform.
Currently the following modern internet standards are considered within scope:
Web standards (such as HTML) or identity standards (like SAML or OpenID
Connect) are out of scope.
Although many of the tested internet standards contribute to a higher security
level of your website, mail service or internet connection, a 100% score does
not mean that an online service is fully secure. There are more aspects which
are important for the security of your online services. But these are out of
scope for Internet.nl. Please keep in mind that Internet.nl is foremost
intended as an internet standards compliance test and not as a security test.
To develop or run your own instance, see the
documentation overview.
Internet.nl was made possible by using and combining other open source software.
