It is about how random the BIG number is. If it is random enough and you have not left any trace, then it is as secure as any other wallet.

If they haven't stolen your coins yet, then it means you probably have the good keys but getting the keys from that website wasn't a good idea in the beginning and now it is known that they are compromised, be safe and get rid of all of them. If you need new keys get them from electrum or core wallet.

Ok i want to generate new keys to continue staking sats and never spend.

step0:  find a clean pc go to electrum website and download the wallet verify its gpg signature and fingerprint
step1:  go to always offline airgaped pc  recent clean install windows and install electrum
step2: make a new standard wallet 12 word seed with a custom word extention. and keep these safe
step3: notedown the address for stacking sats
step3: reinstall windows on pc used in step1

Verified code? You mean you verified the signature of the source code? As far as I know, having the source code of bitaddress.org is enough to generate keys. You just open the html file in a browser.

If you did, then you're fine. Bitaddress.org uses a secure source to get the entropy, using Crypto.getrandomvalues(). Same Iancoleman does.

step1:  go to always offline airgaped pc  recent clean install windows and install electrum
Just a recommendation: Burn a Linux OS in a CD and then boot from it. Once you're done with this procedure, remove the CD.

step3: notedown the address for stacking sats
You should actually note down the master public key instead of just one address.

i verified the pgp signature only

edit: i also have some seeds generated from iancoleman(gpg verified) too i use them for storing alts as coldstorage
