Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Security Headers Scanner tool.

Headers the server sends alongside the response that tell the browser to enforce additional security restrictions — blocking clickjacking, XSS, mixed content, and insecure content loading.

Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), Content-Security-Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy. HSTS and CSP are the two that matter most.

Content-Security-Policy restricts which origins the browser is allowed to load scripts, styles, images, etc. from. It's the #1 XSS defence but hard to deploy on legacy apps because inline scripts and event handlers break. Use `report-only` mode first.

Yes for production domains you control. It guarantees browsers never talk to your domain over HTTP. But it's hard to reverse — you commit to HTTPS-only for all subdomains for years. Only preload after you've verified every subdomain works on HTTPS.
