Security Headers Checker
A comprehensive web application for analyzing and e HTTP security headers on any website. This tool helps de, security professionals, and website administrators identify missing or misconfigured security headers that could lea sites to common web attacks.
O
The Security Headers Checker is a defensi tool built with React, TypeScript, and Vite. It provides real-time analysis of critical HTTP security headers and generates detailed reports with actionable recommendations to impro security posture.
What It Does
Core Functionality
1. Security Header Analysis
The application performs comprehensi on se HTTP security headers:
Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) - Forces browsers to communicate with your site o only, pre man-in-the-middle attacks and protocol downgrade attemptsContent-Security-Policy (CSP) - Mitigates Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks by controlling which resources can be loaded and executedX-Frame-Options - Protects against clickjacking attacks by pre your site from being embedded in iframesX-Content-Type-Options - Prevents MIME-type sniffing attacks by forcing browsers to respect declared content typesReferrer-Policy - Controls how much referrer information is shared when users na away from your sitePermissions-Policy - Manages browser feature access like camera, microphone, and geolocationX-XSS-Protection - Legacy XSS filter that provides an additional layer of protection in older browsers2. Intelligent Scoring System
Each security header is e with:
Se Rating: Critical, High, Medium, or Low priority classificationStatus Assessment: Pass (properly configured), Warning (present but suboptimal), or Fail (missing)Weighted Scoring: Headers are scored based on their security impact, with critical headers having more weightO Grade: Excellent (90-100), Good (70-89), Fair (50-69), or Poor (0-49)3. Detailed Analysis Reports
For each analyzed website, the tool generates:
Security score out of 100 pointsO security status with color-coded indicatorsTimestamp of analysisDetailed breakdown of each header's statusSpecific recommendations for missing or misconfigured headersCurrent header for present headersSe badges highlighting priority issues4. Analysis History
The application maintains a local history of up to 10 recent scans, allowing users to:
Track security impro over timeCompare different websites quicklyRevisit previous analyses without re-scanningMonitor changes after implementing recommendations5. Export Functionality
Reports can be exported as JSON files containing:
Complete scan metadata (URL, timestamp, score)All header analysis resultsStatus indicators and se ratingsRecommendations for improPerfect for documentation, compliance audits, and team sharing6. Educational Resources

Technical Implementation
1. HTTP Header Fetching
When a user enters a URL:
1. The application normalizes the URL (adds https:// if missing)
2. the URL format
3. Sends a HEAD request to the target website using the Fetch API
4. Extracts all HTTP response headers
5. Handles CORS restrictions with informati messages
2. Header Analysis Engine
The analysis engine:
1. Compares recei against the security headers database
2. header against best practice standards
3. Checks for specific configurations (e.g., HSTS max-age )
4. Assigns status based on presence and configuration quality
5. Calculates weighted scores based on se
3. Report Generation
Results are compiled into a comprehensi including:
Calculated security scoreO status determinationIndi header analysis objectsTimestamp for record-keepingStructured data ready for export4. Data Persistence

CORS Restrictions
The application runs entirely in the browser and may encounter CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) restrictions when analyzing certain websites. This is a security feature of modern browsers that prevents unauthorized cross-origin requests. Websites that don't allow cross-origin requests will return an error.
Workarounds:
Use browser extensions that disable CORS for testingTest sites that explicitly allow cross-origin requestsDeploy the tool on the same domain as the target siteUse a proxy server for production deploymentsSecurity Header Detection
The tool only analyzes HTTP response headers and cannot:
