Free HTTP Header Checker

Inspect every HTTP response header, get a security grade (A+ → F), and see exactly which security headers are missing or misconfigured.

How it works

01

Paste a URL

We follow redirects and fetch the final response, capturing every header.

02

Score security headers

HSTS, CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy — each rated and explained.

03

Read the grade

A simple A+ → F grade based on what's present, plus the full header dump for debugging.

Frequently asked questions

What grade should I aim for?+

A or A+. Most production SaaS sites get there by setting HSTS, CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and a Permissions-Policy. Frame-ancestors in CSP can replace X-Frame-Options.

Why does my page have HSTS but get a warning?+

max-age below 6 months (15552000 seconds) downgrades the rating. Bump to a year (31536000) for production.

What about caching headers?+

We show every response header in the bottom section — Cache-Control, ETag, Age, Vary, etc. The security grade focuses specifically on the headers that affect attack surface.

Does this follow redirects?+

Yes. We follow up to the default redirect limit and grade the headers on the FINAL response (the one the browser actually renders).
