The HTTP Security Header Scanner is a tool that analyzes the security headers of your website and provides an overall security score. It helps identify vulnerabilities and ensure your site is protected against common cyber threats.
The scanner evaluates the presence and configuration of key HTTP security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security, Content-Security-Policy, and others. Each header's status and adherence to best practices contribute to the overall security score.
Grades represent the security level of your website based on its HTTP header configuration:
A+: Excellent security setup.
A: Good security, but could improve.
B or lower: Needs attention to ensure adequate protection.
HTTP security headers provide an additional layer of protection against common vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, and protocol downgrade attacks. They ensure safe communication between browsers and servers.
The scanner evaluates several important headers, including:
Review the detailed report provided by the scanner. Implement or update the missing or misconfigured security headers. For detailed guidance, you can refer to the documentation linked in the "HTTP Security Headers Information" section.
This section shows whether key security headers are present on your website. A "Present" status indicates the header is configured, while a "Missing" status highlights areas for improvement.
