What We Check

Every check comes with a pass/fail result and specific fix instructions.

Sec Strict Transport Security

HSTS tells browsers to always use HTTPS. Prevents protocol downgrade attacks.

Sec Content Security Policy

CSP controls which resources can load on your page. Prevents XSS attacks.

Sec X Frame Options

Prevents your page from being embedded in iframes on other sites (clickjacking).

Sec X Content Type Options

Prevents MIME type sniffing. Always set to nosniff.

Sec Referrer Policy

Controls how much referrer information is sent when navigating away.

Sec Permissions Policy

Controls browser features like camera, microphone, geolocation access.

Sec Cross Origin Opener Policy

Isolates your window from cross-origin popups (prevents tabnabbing).

Sec Cross Origin Resource Policy

Controls whether other origins can read your resources.

Cache-Control

Cache-Control header determines how browsers and CDNs cache your content.

Compression

Gzip or Brotli compression reduces transfer size by 60-80%.

Server Leak

Server header with version info helps attackers find known vulnerabilities.

X-Powered-By

X-Powered-By reveals your tech stack. Hide it to reduce attack surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this tool and how to use the results.

What are HTTP headers?
HTTP headers are metadata sent with every web request and response. They control caching, security, compression, and how browsers handle your content.
Why check response headers?
Misconfigured headers can expose security vulnerabilities, slow down your site, or prevent proper caching.
What is the most impactful header for speed?
Cache-Control for repeat visitors, and Content-Encoding (gzip/brotli) for reducing transfer size on every request.
