Registration runs until 14 March 2033.
The domain carries 1 registry lock, which blocks unauthorised transfer or deletion.

Where is bootbarn.com hosted?
The first address resolves to infrastructure in San Jose, United States.
The network is operated by AWS EC2 (us-west-1) (AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc.).
Hosting location describes where the responding server sits, not where the business is. A CDN will report its nearest edge rather than the origin.
What is bootbarn.com running on?
bootbarn.com exposes 2 identifiable technologies: Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare.
Cloudflare sits in front of the origin, so the server header, IP addresses and response timing describe the edge rather than the machine actually running the site.
Visitor tracking is present (Google Tag Manager), so this homepage is not cookie-free.
- Google Tag Manager
- Cloudflare
How does the homepage respond?
The server answered with HTTP 200 over
HTTPS.
At 1495ms to first byte this response is slow for a homepage measured from a single European location.
The HTML weighs 271KB, which is ordinary for a homepage.
The HTML is compressed with gzip.
| Server header | cloudflare |
|---|---|
| Compression | gzip |
| Page size | 277,027 bytes |
| Declared language | en |
| Mobile viewport | declared |
What does the homepage say about itself?
The title is 45 characters, inside the range that displays without truncation.
The meta description is 199 characters and will be cut short in most result layouts.
There are 6 H1 headings. One is conventional; several dilute the signal about what the page is primarily about.
2 of 66 images carry no alt attribute, which leaves them unreadable to screen readers and uninterpretable to image search.
| Title | Cowboy Boots, Western Wear & More | Boot Barn (45 chars) |
|---|---|
| Meta description | Find the latest styles in cowboy boots & hats, western wear, work boots and much more. Check out our huge selection from brands like Cody James, Ariat, Shyanne, Wrangler, Carhartt and more today! (199 chars) |

valid until 2027-02-05, which is 124 days from the date of this check. It covers
1 hostname.
- bootbarn.com
The certificate has 124 days left to run.
It covers 1 hostname, so it was issued for this site specifically.

2 of 6 are set (HSTS, X-Frame-Options). Absent: Content Security Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy.
With no Content Security Policy, any script that reaches the page — including one injected through a compromised third-party dependency — runs with full access to it.

|---|---|---|
| HSTS | yes | max-age=300 |
| Content Security Policy | no | — |
| X-Content-Type-Options | no | — |
| X-Frame-Options | yes | SAMEORIGIN |

| TXT records | 21 |
bootbarn.com resolves to 2 addresses, which indicates load balancing or a CDN rather than a single origin server.
Mail is handled by 2 exchangers.
An SPF record is published, giving receiving servers a rule for which hosts may send as this domain.
Reverse DNS resolves to ec2-52-9-213-249.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com, ec2-54-241-20-53.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com, which usually names the hosting provider.
Who runs DNS and mail for bootbarn.com?
DNS is operated by Amazon Route 53 rather than self-hosted name servers.
Mail is handled by Barracuda.
No AAAA records are published, so the site is reachable over IPv4 only.
What else is worth noting about bootbarn.com?
11 of 12 externally hosted scripts carry no subresource integrity hash. If one of those hosts were compromised, the replacement script would run with full access to the page.
Can bootbarn.com be spoofed in email?
DMARC is set to reject, the strictest setting: mail that fails authentication is refused outright. This is the configuration that actually stops domain spoofing.
CAA records restrict certificate issuance to 6 named authorities (issue letsencrypt.org, issue pki.goog, issuewild amazon.com, issuewild digicert.com), so no other CA should be able to issue for this domain.
The zone is not DNSSEC-signed. That is still the norm for most domains, but it means DNS answers cannot be cryptographically verified.
What else does bootbarn.com publish?
A security.txt file is published, giving security researchers a documented way to report vulnerabilities. Very few sites bother.
What does robots.txt allow?
robots.txt is 753 bytes and names
4 user-agent groups.
It does not blanket-disallow general crawlers.
Sitemaps declared:
- https://www.bootbarn.com/sitemap_index.xml
AI crawler policy
robots.txt names no AI crawlers specifically, so they fall under whatever rule
applies to User-agent: *.
What structured data does the homepage publish?
- Organization
- ContactPoint
- WebSite
- SearchAction
The homepage publishes 4 structured data types: Organization, ContactPoint, WebSite, SearchAction.
What does bootbarn.com load from third parties?

10 cookies are set before any interaction (dwac_30d03f8f7e0d83428425462287, cqcid, cquid, GlobalE_Data, sid).
The page links or refers to X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube.

Does bootbarn.com settle on one address?
Plain HTTP redirects to HTTPS, so visitors who type the bare address still land on the secure version.
Both bootbarn.com and www.bootbarn.com answer with 200 and neither redirects to the other. Search engines therefore see two complete copies of the site, and link equity is split between them unless a canonical tag resolves it.
How easily can bootbarn.com be crawled?
A sitemap index is served at https://www.bootbarn.com/sitemap_index.xml listing 12 entries.
The most recent lastmod date is 2026-10-04.
A deliberately invalid URL returns HTTP 410 rather than 404.
What tracking does bootbarn.com run?
1 tracking script detected: Google Tag Manager.
A consent platform is in place (OneTrust), so in the EU and UK these should only fire after the visitor agrees.
How does bootbarn.com look when shared?
No Open Graph or Twitter Card tags are present. Links shared to social platforms will fall back to whatever the platform can scrape, usually just a bare URL.
How are images, fonts and scripts handled?
66 images on the homepage, 7 of them lazy-loaded (11%).
Modern image formats are in use (1 WebP/AVIF references).
No srcset attributes are used, so every device is served the same image size regardless of screen.
Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which means every page view also contacts Google. Self-hosting removes that dependency.
The page pulls 4 external stylesheets and 27 external scripts, with 10 carrying defer or async.
Responses carry Cloudflare and Varnish/Fastly edge and edge cache edge headers, so content is served from a CDN rather than straight from the origin.
Is bootbarn.com accessible and current?
The page uses 9 landmark elements and 100 ARIA attributes.
The viewport tag disables pinch-zoom. That fails WCAG 1.4.4 and is a genuine problem for anyone who needs to enlarge text.
There are 11 form inputs but only 6 label elements, so some fields may be unlabelled for screen readers.
Can search engines index bootbarn.com?
Nothing on the homepage prevents indexing: no noindex is set in the robots meta tag or the X-Robots-Tag header.
The homepage carries 419 internal and 15 external links across 12 outside hosts.
Visible text is only 3.6% of the HTML, which indicates the page is assembled in the browser rather than served as content.
The heading outline skips 4 levels, which breaks the document structure screen readers navigate by.
How is bootbarn.com delivered?
The HTML is served with Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0.
Frequently asked questions
Does bootbarn.com set the usual HTTP security headers?
It sets 2 of 6. The ones not present are: Content Security Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy.
Does bootbarn.com allow AI crawlers?
robots.txt names no AI crawler specifically, so they fall under the wildcard rule, which does not disallow them.
What is bootbarn.com built with?
The homepage exposes these fingerprints: Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare. A site behind a CDN or rendered server-side may use more than it reveals.
Where does this data come from?
Every figure was measured by our own server on 4 October 2026: DNS lookups, one HTTPS request to the homepage, a TLS handshake and a request for robots.txt. No third-party SEO API is involved.
Is any of this traffic or authority data?
No. Traffic, authority and ranking figures cannot be measured by inspecting a domain, only modelled. Everything here is a direct observation.
I own bootbarn.com and want this page removed.
Ask through the contact page on this site, from an address at the domain, and the report will be taken down. It only ever shows what the domain already serves publicly.
