Website Security

1st Domains
failed icon
Secure cookies not used
When secure cookies are not used, there is an increased risk of third parties intercepting information contained in these cookies. The website configuration should be changed so that all 'Set-Cookie' headers include 'secure'.
failed icon
CSP is not implemented
No valid Content Security Policy is implemented. This increases the risk of XSS and clickjacking attacks.
failed icon
HttpOnly cookies not used
When HttpOnly cookies are not used, the cookies can be accessed on the client, which enables certain type of client-side attacks. The website configuration should be changed to enforce HttpOnly cookies.
passed icon
Server information header not exposed
Ensuring the server information header is not exposed reduces the ability of attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.
passed icon
X-Powered-By header not exposed
Information about specific technology used on the server is obscured.
passed icon
X-Frame-Options configured to prevent clickjacking
Browsers are prevented from displaying this website's content in frames. This helps mitigate clickjacking attacks.
