Right now Base44, with a median score of 92 out of 100 across the sites checked.

Do builder sites track visitors before they agree?

On 0 of 4 builders, at least one checked site loaded advertising or analytics trackers before the visitor clicked anything.

Is this a full security audit?

No. It checks what every site on a builder gets by default, from the outside, the same way for every builder. It doesn't try to break in. RankDude never tests sites for weaknesses without permission.

How safe are the sites each builder makes?

Base44 sites score best, 92 out of 100. Every day I check the sites I built on each builder I review for HTTPS, security settings, and the trackers they load before a visitor agrees to anything.

What is checked, and what it’s worth

The same sites as the page speed test: the café, photographer and shop I build on each builder I review, hosted by the builder. Each site gets a score out of 100, and the builder gets the median of its sites:

Security and privacy points
Check	Points	Why it matters

http:// sends you to https://	15	Someone typing the address without https still gets the safe version.
HSTS	10	Browsers remember to use HTTPS only, even on public Wi-Fi.
Clickjacking protection	8	Other sites can't hide this page inside theirs to trick clicks.
No content sniffing	6	Browsers won't treat a file as something it isn't.
Content Security Policy	6	Limits which scripts can run, which blunts many attacks.
Referrer policy	3	Controls what the page tells other sites about where visitors came from.
Permissions policy	2	Switches off camera, microphone and the like when the site doesn't need them.
No trackers before consent	15	No advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor agrees (8 points if trackers load but a cookie banner is shown).

Privacy is checked by opening each site in a fresh browser and not clicking anything, then counting the cookies set and the advertising or analytics services contacted. A site owner can often change these settings, so this shows what the builder does unless you change it.
