Verified by Noxtica badge

Anyone can ask the public page Verify a website whether a website belongs to a verified Noxtica customer. When you opt in, that page answers “Verified Noxtica customer” for your verified domains. The badge is a link from your site to that answer. This page shows how to opt in, copy the snippet and what the badge does and does not say.

Key points

  1. Opt in, off by defaultPublic verification confirms your verified domains only after you switch it on in Backoffice.
  2. The badge asserts nothingThe image is generic and anyone can copy it; the answer on noxtica.com/verify is what counts.
  3. A limited statementA result covers domain ownership and Noxtica customer status, nothing about the site’s business.

What it is

Availability: Availability depends on your plan, role and the modules enabled for your organisation.

  • Public verification is an opt-in setting of your workspace. It is off by default. When it is on, the public page confirms your verified domains as belonging to a Noxtica customer. When it is off, your domains get the same answer as any unknown website: “Not a verified Noxtica customer”.
  • The badge is one static image, verified-by-noxtica.svg, 160 by 40 pixels, with the text “Verified by Noxtica”. It is the same file for every customer and carries no domain name.
  • The link around the badge points to https://noxtica.com/verify/?d=<your domain>. That page runs a read-only check against Noxtica’s records and shows the result. It does not fetch your website and it asks for no email address.
  • The badge asserts nothing. The image is not proof of anything, because anyone can copy it. The answer on noxtica.com/verify is what counts. A visitor who follows the link from a site that is not a customer sees “Not a verified Noxtica customer”.
  • What a result covers. Verification covers domain ownership and Noxtica customer status only. It says nothing about the site’s business practices, products or legal standing.

The badge snippet:

<a href="https://noxtica.com/verify/?d=example.com"><img src="https://noxtica.com/badges/verified-by-noxtica.svg" alt="Verified by Noxtica" width="160" height="40"></a>

Replace example.com with one of your verified domains.

Prerequisites

  • The Admin role in the workspace, and the authenticator app that you use for sensitive changes. See Roles and permissions.
  • A domain registered in Backoffice whose ownership you have verified. Only a verified domain can be confirmed publicly. See Domains, site keys and the install card.
  • Permission to edit your website’s HTML, or a person who has it.

Steps

1. Turn on public verification

  1. Open Backoffice → Administration → Domains.
  2. Open the Public profile panel.
  3. Switch on Show my verified domains in public verification and enter your authenticator code when asked.

Read the consent text next to the switch before you confirm it. The change is recorded in your audit log.

2. Copy the badge snippet

When public verification is on and at least one domain is verified, a badge card shows the snippet with your domain filled in. Select Copy.

3. Add the badge to your site

Paste the snippet into the page where you want the badge, for example the footer. Keep the link: the image alone says nothing. Keep the width and height values so the page does not shift while the image loads.

Select the badge on your live page. You should land on noxtica.com/verify/ with your domain filled in and the answer Verified Noxtica customer, with the date from which your domain has been verified.

5. Turn it off when you no longer want it

Switch off Show my verified domains in public verification on the same panel. The public page then answers “Not verified by Noxtica” for your domains at once. Remove the badge from your pages too, because the image keeps loading.

  1. Turn on public verification

    Administration → Domains → Public profile; confirm with your authenticator code.

  2. Copy the snippet

    The badge card shows the link and image with your domain filled in.

  3. Add it to your site

    Paste the whole link, image included, where you want the badge.

  4. Open the link

    Select the badge on your live page and read the answer on noxtica.com/verify.

Turn on public verification and add the badge

Verify it works

  • The link on your page opens noxtica.com/verify/?d=<your domain> and shows Verified Noxtica customer.
  • The same address with another of your verified domains also shows Verified Noxtica customer.
  • After you switch public verification off, reloading the link shows Not verified by Noxtica.
  • The result card always ends with the sentence “Verification covers domain ownership and Noxtica customer status only.”
