The scorecard contains everything you need to know about a website, domain name, or IP.
Scorecard colors
To help bridge across language barriers, colors are used for immediate identification of the overall trustworthiness (safety) of a website. The color range is:
| Reputation | Color and symbol | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent |  = dark green
|
This site has a good reputation and the community considers it a safe and pleasant experience. |
| Good |  = light green
| |
| Unsatisfactory |  = yellow
|
Cautionary advisory, unsatisfactory or mixed ratings. |
| Poor |  = orange
|
This site has a poor reputation and the add-on will bring up the warning screen, or blocking screen, when settings are at their default values. If you choose to proceed, do so with a high amount of care and concern; you have been warned. |
| Very poor |  = red
| |
| Unrated |  = grey
|
There are not enough ratings to compute a reputation for this website, as referenced by the example scorecard provided |

Thumbnail
The thumbnail is a captured image of the index page of a website. The purpose is to help visually identify the site in revue. The image may be clear or it may be out of focus depending upon the rating level of the Child Safety indicator. When there are poor to very poor ratings for child safety, the image is blurred to prevent viewing of possible pornographic material. The provided image displays both clear and blurred areas for example.
