help SecurityHeaders FAQ
What are SecurityHeaders used for?
Security headers are HTTP response headers that tell browsers how a website should handle security-sensitive content. They can control areas such as encryption, content loading, and cross-site scripting risks.
Which security settings can SecurityHeaders reveal?
A header review can reveal whether a site uses policies such as Content-Security-Policy and transport-security settings. It can also show whether the server gives browsers useful protection instructions.
Are SecurityHeaders a replacement for HTTPS?
No. Security headers can strengthen a site's browser-side defenses, but they do not replace an HTTPS certificate or correct server and application vulnerabilities.
Where do SecurityHeaders appear?
They appear in the HTTP response sent by a web server to a browser or other client. Developers can inspect them in browser developer tools or with an HTTP request.
