What You Need to Know
• What This Tool Does
Security Headers Check analyzes HTTP response headers to identify missing or misconfigured security headers like HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, and others that protect against common web attacks.
• Why It Matters
- → XSS Protection: Content-Security-Policy prevents cross-site scripting attacks
- → Clickjacking: X-Frame-Options stops your site being embedded in iframes
- → HTTPS Enforcement: HSTS ensures users always use secure connections
- → Compliance: Many security standards require proper header configuration
• How to Read the Results
- ✓ Present: Header is configured (check the specific policy)
- ✓ Missing: Header not found - potential security risk
- ✓ Grade: Overall security rating (A+ is best)
- ✓ Recommendations: Specific improvements for each missing header
