Frequently Asked Questions

What are HTTP response headers and why should they be analyzed?
HTTP response headers are metadata sent by a web server alongside web content. They govern caching policies, content compression, security controls (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options), cookies, and server architecture details.
Which security headers does this tool audit?
The inspector evaluates critical web security headers including Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), Content-Security-Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options (clickjacking defense), X-Content-Type-Options (MIME sniffing defense), and Referrer-Policy.
Does this tool follow HTTP redirects?
Yes. It captures the initial HTTP status code and displays any 301/302/307/308 redirect chains to verify that canonical HTTPS and domain redirects are configured properly.
Why does this tool use a secure backend proxy route?
Web browsers enforce Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), preventing direct client-side inspection of external server response headers. Our lightweight server route fetches headers safely over TLS without logging your requested URL.
