The HTTP Observatory Report is a tool designed to analyze and report on the security features of web servers. It assesses various security-related HTTP headers and configurations, helping website administrators understand how well their sites are protected against common vulnerabilities.
When a website is scanned using the HTTP Observatory, it checks for:
- HTTP Security Headers: These include headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and others that enhance security.
- SSL/TLS Configuration: This checks the strength and configuration of the site’s encryption protocols.
- Best Practices: It evaluates adherence to security best practices and provides recommendations for improvement.
The report generated includes a score, along with detailed feedback on the current configuration and actionable steps to enhance security. It’s a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their web security posture.
