Frequently Asked Questions
What are HTTP response headers?▾
HTTP response headers are metadata sent by the server along with a response. They provide information about the server, content type, caching, security policies, and more.
Which security headers should my site have?▾
Key security headers include Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), Content-Security-Policy (CSP), X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy.
What is a good security header score?▾
A score of 80%+ means your site has most important security headers. 100% means all standard security headers are present. Even with all headers, make sure the values are properly configured.
Does this tool make a GET or HEAD request?▾
This tool makes a HEAD request, which returns only the headers without the full page body. This is faster and uses less bandwidth.
How does this tool fetch headers?▾
Our servers send an HTTP HEAD request to the URL you provide and capture the response headers. This server-side approach shows the same headers that browsers and search engines see.
What is Content-Security-Policy (CSP)?▾
CSP is a security header that tells browsers which sources of content (scripts, styles, images) are trusted. It helps prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by blocking unauthorized scripts.
Can I check headers for private or internal sites?▾
No. The tool can only check publicly accessible URLs. Internal, localhost, or private network domains cannot be reached by our servers.
