What are HTTP headers?

HTTP headers are metadata sent with every web request and response. They control caching, security policies, content encoding, and more. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options protect against common attacks like XSS and clickjacking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which security headers should my site have?

At minimum: Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. Our checker flags missing security headers automatically.

What does the security analysis show?

We check for the presence and correctness of security headers and flag potential issues like missing HSTS, permissive CORS, or exposed server version information.

Do HTTP headers affect SEO?

Yes. Cache-Control headers affect page speed (a ranking factor). X-Robots-Tag controls indexing. Proper headers improve both performance and search visibility.
