Frequently asked questions

Why does it show a different status than my browser?

The tool makes a server-side request without cookies or authentication. You may see a redirect or 403 that your browser handles transparently.

Can I check localhost URLs?

No. Only publicly accessible URLs are supported for security (SSRF protection).

What security headers should I look for?

At minimum: Strict-Transport-Security, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy.
