Welcome to Header Hound! We are passionate about making the web a safer place, one website at a time. Our mission is to provide an easy-to-use tool for website owners, developers, and security enthusiasts to check and improve their HTTP security header configurations.
Our Vision
We envision a web where security best practices are widely adopted, and common vulnerabilities related to HTTP headers are a thing of the past. We believe that by providing accessible tools and clear guidance, we can empower everyone to take control of their website's security posture.
What We Do
Header Hound analyzes the HTTP response headers of your website and provides a detailed report on its security configuration. We check for the presence and correct implementation of crucial security headers such as:
- Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS)
- Content-Security-Policy (CSP)
- X-Frame-Options
- X-Content-Type-Options
- Referrer-Policy
- Permissions-Policy
Our tool not only identifies missing or misconfigured headers but also offers actionable recommendations to help you strengthen your defenses against common web attacks like cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, and data injection.
Why It Matters
Properly configured HTTP security headers are a fundamental layer of defense for any website. They instruct browsers on how to behave when handling your site's content, significantly reducing the risk of various attacks. By using Header Hound, you can proactively identify and mitigate these risks, protecting your users and your reputation.
Thank you for using Header Hound. We are continuously working to improve our tool and provide you with the most up-to-date security insights.
