HTTP Security Headers Analyzer — Grade Your Server's Security

HTTP response headers are the first line of defense for any web application. Security headers likeContent-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, andX-Content-Type-Options tell browsers how to safely handle your content — blocking XSS attacks, preventing clickjacking, enforcing HTTPS, and stopping MIME type sniffing.

This analyzer parses raw HTTP response headers and gives you an instant security grade from A+ to F. Each header gets an individual assessment: ✅ secure, ⚠️ needs improvement, or ❌ missing. The Config Generator tab produces ready-to-paste server configurations for Express.js, Nginx, and Apache.

How it works

Analyze Your Headers in 30 Seconds

01

Grab your headers

Open DevTools → Network → any request → Response Headers. Or run curl -I https://yoursite.com in your terminal.

02

Paste & analyze

Paste the raw header block and click Analyze. The tool parses every header and runs security checks instantly.

03

Read your grade

Get an A+ to F letter grade with per-header details: what it does, current value assessment, and recommended value.

04

Fix with config

Switch to Config Generator and copy production-ready Express.js, Nginx, or Apache config to fix all missing headers.

Use cases

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1What are HTTP security headers?
HTTP security headers are response headers that instruct browsers how to handle your content. They protect against XSS, clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and more. The most important are: Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy.
2How do I get my site's response headers?
Open Chrome/Firefox DevTools (F12) → Network tab → click any request → scroll to "Response Headers". Or use curl: curl -I https://yoursite.com. Copy the output and paste it into this analyzer.
3What is Content-Security-Policy?
CSP is the most important security header. It defines which sources can load scripts, styles, images, fonts, and other resources. A properly configured CSP prevents XSS attacks. Avoid 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' directives which weaken CSP significantly.
4What does HSTS do?
Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) forces browsers to use HTTPS for your domain, preventing SSL stripping attacks and mixed content issues. Set max-age=31536000 (1 year) minimum. Adding includeSubDomains and preload provides maximum protection.
