Frequently Asked Questions
What does HeaderCheckr scan?
The homepage Domain Check combines security headers, SSL certificates, redirects, and DNS records. The toolkit also includes focused checks for compression and HTTP protocol support.
Are the tools free to use?
Yes. HeaderCheckr tools are free to use and do not require an account.
Do I need server access?
No. The tools check public browser-facing responses and DNS records. You do not need to connect your hosting account or share credentials.
What does my score mean?
The score reflects how many of the checked security headers are present on the final response. It is a useful baseline, not a full security audit.
What grades can my site get?
HeaderCheckr grades scans from A+ down to F. A higher grade means more of the recommended browser security headers are present.
How do I get an A+ grade?
An A+ grade means the final response includes every security header HeaderCheckr currently checks for.
What headers do you check for?
HeaderCheckr checks Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy.
Do I need an account?
No. The scanner is free to use and does not require signup.
Does a perfect score mean my site is fully secure?
No. Security headers are one layer. You still need secure code, patched dependencies, and safe server configuration.
Can I identify HeaderCheckr scans by user agent?
Yes. HeaderCheckr sends an identifiable user agent string that includes HeaderCheckr when it fetches a site for analysis.
