Security headers checker with letter grade, severity levels, batch scan, site compare, fix snippets, and shareable report card. Security Headers is a fast, privacy-first Chrome extension that inspects the HTTP response headers on any website and gives you an instant letter grade. v1.3.0 fixes three grading accuracy bugs and adds a 58-test regression suite — making it the most accurate header checker in the marketplace. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Open any website 2. Click the extension icon 3. Hit "Scan This Page" — get an instant letter grade (A+ to F) 4. Expand any header for a deep dive: what attack it prevents, a real-world breach example, and a ready-to-paste fix snippet for Nginx, Apache, Express, or Cloudflare WHAT'S NEW IN v1.3.0: CSP Evaluator Tightened — Either 'unsafe-inline' OR 'unsafe-eval' alone now correctly flags as weak (previously required both keywords to appear). Aligns with Mozilla Observatory and securityheaders.com baselines. Most sites with React/Vue/Tailwind defaults will see a more accurate CSP score. Referrer-Policy Bug Fix — Permissive values like 'origin' and 'no-referrer-when-downgrade' now correctly show as weak. Previously these were incorrectly marked as good, hiding real referrer-leakage risk. Permissions-Policy Parser — Replaced the length-based heuristic with a real parser. Wildcard directives like 'camera=*' now correctly flag as weak. Strict policies like 'camera=()' correctly show as good. 58-Test Regression Suite — Every evaluator now has unit tests so future updates can't silently break what's working. Some sites may see grade adjustments — these are corrections to previously-misreported scores, not changes in your security posture.
