User reviews

Provides some useful information but doesn't detect the headers properly: often flags the headers as "Not returned" even though they are.

A one-stop shop for a variety of web-development security checks. A work in progress, and great work so far!

I really found it helpful . I strongly recommend it. I agree that having it integrated with Chrome DevTools would make it even better. Thank you and keep up the work!
