Checks

The script bases its functionality from SecurityHeaders project.

• Content-Security-Policy: Content Security Policy is an effective measure to protect your site from XSS attacks. By whitelisting sources of approved content, you can prevent the browser from loading malicious assets.

• X-Frame-Options: X-Frame-Options tells the browser whether you want to allow your site to be framed or not. By preventing a browser from framing your site you can defend against attacks like clickjacking. Recommended value "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN".

• X-Content-Type-Options: X-Content-Type-Options stops a browser from trying to MIME-sniff the content type and forces it to stick with the declared content-type. The only valid value for this header is "X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff".

• Referrer-Policy: Referrer Policy is a new header that allows a site to control how much information the browser includes with navigations away from a document and should be set by all sites.

• Permissions-Policy: Permissions Policy is a new header that allows a site to control which features and APIs can be used in the browser.
