Free Website Security Scanner — Protect Your Site in Seconds

Most websites have at least one critical security misconfiguration that they don't know about. AuditAI checks your HTTPS setup, security headers, and exposed paths — instantly, for free.

Security Headers We Check

These six HTTP response headers are the industry-standard baseline for web security. Many sites are missing at least three of them.

Content-Security-Policy (CSP)

High risk if missing

Prevents XSS attacks by whitelisting which sources can load scripts, styles, and media. Without CSP, any injected script can run with full page permissions.

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)

High risk if missing

Forces browsers to only connect over HTTPS for a set period. Prevents protocol downgrade attacks and cookie hijacking on open Wi-Fi networks.

X-Frame-Options

Medium risk if missing

Blocks your page from being embedded in an iframe on another site — prevents clickjacking attacks where a malicious overlay tricks users into clicking hidden buttons.

X-Content-Type-Options

Medium risk if missing

Tells browsers not to MIME-sniff responses. Without this, a browser might execute an uploaded image file as JavaScript if an attacker renames it.

Referrer-Policy

Low risk if missing

Controls how much referrer information is sent when users click links off your site. Prevents leaking sensitive URL parameters to third-party analytics or ad networks.

Permissions-Policy

Low risk if missing

Restricts access to browser APIs like camera, microphone, and geolocation. Especially important if you embed third-party scripts or iframes.

Why Security Headers Matter for Every Site

Security headers are one line of server configuration that take minutes to add but meaningfully reduce your attack surface. Google, Mozilla, and OWASP all recommend them as a baseline for any public-facing website — not just e-commerce or banking.

Without HSTS, a visitor connecting from a coffee shop can have their session hijacked even if your site has an SSL certificate. Without CSP, a single compromised ad script can steal form data from your contact page.

For sites using shared hosting, missing headers are especially dangerous — a vulnerability in another tenant's site can sometimes be exploited to inject malicious content into yours.

Common Exposed Paths We Detect

Misconfigured deployments often leave sensitive files publicly accessible. AuditAI probes these common paths and flags anything that returns a 200 response.

/.env

Environment variables — API keys, database credentials

/wp-admin

WordPress admin panel — brute-force target

/.git/config

Git config — may expose repo URLs and credentials

/phpinfo.php

PHP configuration dump — reveals server internals

/admin

Generic admin panel — common attack surface

/.DS_Store

Mac OS directory listing — reveals file structure

Frequently Asked Questions

What security headers does AuditAI check?+
We check for Content-Security-Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy. These are the six headers Google and security researchers consider most critical.
Does AuditAI perform penetration testing?+
No. AuditAI scans HTTP response headers and checks publicly visible configuration signals. It does not attempt to exploit vulnerabilities or inject payloads. For pen testing you need a dedicated security firm.
Why do security headers affect SEO?+
Google's Safe Browsing service flags sites with poor security configurations. Chrome shows 'Not Secure' warnings for HTTP-only sites, which increases bounce rate. A missing HSTS header means returning visitors can be intercepted by man-in-the-middle attacks.
My site uses Cloudflare. Will headers be accurate?+
Yes. AuditAI scans the actual HTTP response headers as delivered to a browser, so Cloudflare-injected headers (like HSTS) are included in the results.
