Why Check Security Headers?

Security headers protect your website against common attacks like XSS, clickjacking, and MIME sniffing. They're set by your web server and cost nothing to implement. Missing security headers are one of the most common findings in security audits.

Frequently Asked Questions

HTTP headers are metadata sent between browser and server with every request/response. They control caching, security, content type, compression, cookies, and more. They're invisible to users but critical for how websites work.

Key security headers: Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), Content-Security-Policy (CSP), X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy. Missing security headers leave your site vulnerable.

The score rates your site's security headers on a scale. It checks for the presence and proper configuration of recommended security headers. A higher score means better header-level security.

Enter your URL and look for Content-Security-Policy in the response headers list. If it is present, the tool shows the full policy so you can confirm the directives. A missing or overly broad CSP is flagged as a security gap to fix.

HSTS fails when the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent or its max-age is too short. Add the header on your HTTPS responses with a long max-age (such as 31536000 for a year) so browsers always connect over HTTPS for your domain.
