TaskRabbit is a same-day service platform for skilled taskers. Taskrabbit offers handyperson, moving, and mounting services.
ALTERNATIVES
Similar sites to TaskRabbit include Handy, Airtasker, Zaarly, Domystuff, Squareup, Shop (app), Fancyhands, and Klaviyo.
DESCRIPTION
The homepage of taskrabbit.com emphasized that the site was to be used for tasks. It reminded me of the review I did for airtasker.com. Notably, they are competitors (listed above). Above the fold was a search box that asked what do I need help with. I could enter the task I needed done and a same-day handyman would be there to do it (according to the site description). The first category to choose from in the manu was “assembly” and the background image beneath the search field was of a man assembling a series of drawers. It gave me the impression that one of the most popular tasks to request is for a handy person to assemble things around your home for you. I know that today’s furniture often needs assembling after you buy it and that could be one of the things people request help with. When I clicked on a category, the subcategories would be listed as icons that reminded me of tags. They were visible on the homepage without the need for more clicks; when the main category was clicked, the subcategories would appear beneath it on the same page. This web development requires some skill and is not a default feature on most platforms, so it was impressive. Further down on the homepage was a popular projects section that showcased projects that had been done complete with pictures for reference. Beneath the popular projects was a testimonials section where users had left five-star reviews. For SEO purposes, a testimonial section on a site like this does add value and is useful to do. At the bottom of the testimonials was the Trustpilot score.

Is taskrabbit.com Safe?
Here, I analyzed taskrabbit.com for malware and malicious content to check if it was legit or a scam:
I checked taskrabbit.com on Sucuri, and it returned as a low security risk.
Security hardening flaws:
- Missing security header to prevent
Content Typesniffing. Affected pages:
https://www.taskrabbit.com:443/404javascript.js
https://www.taskrabbit.com:443/404testpage4525d2fdc
I then ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on taskrabbit.com, and it is clean.
I also checked taskrabbit.com on VirusTotal, and it is clean.
URLVoid says taskrabbit.com passed all blocklist engines.
In conclusion, we graded taskrabbit.com as safe, but numerous security header issues need to be addressed (ClickJacking Protection, Content Type sniffing, Strict-Transport-Security, and Content-Security-Policy), including on 2 specific pages. OVERALL GRADE: Safe.

Task Rabbit received a big boost in Google Search lately because people find it helpful. It is as big if not bigger than Handy.com. Their services are comparable to Handy. Task Rabbit has a more extensive range of services than its competitors. These will become monopoly industries because the sites you can trust the most will get the customers. I would have no problem using Task Rabbit today. It's as reliable as it gets for delegating handyman tasks.
