Frequently asked questions

What does this website security scanner check?

It checks basic website security and technical signals such as HTTPS, redirects, common security headers, robots.txt, and sitemap availability.

Is this a full vulnerability scanner?

No. It is a lightweight configuration and signal checker, not a deep vulnerability assessment platform.

Can this tool detect missing security headers?

Yes. It helps identify whether key security-related headers appear to be missing or weak.

Why does the tool check robots.txt and sitemap.xml too?

These files are not security controls, but they are useful technical website signals that often matter during launch reviews and technical audits.

Can I use this tool for SEO audits?

Yes. It is useful for technical SEO checks because HTTPS, redirects, robots.txt, and sitemap availability often overlap with audit workflows.

Why does my site show weak headers?

That usually means one or more important headers are missing, incomplete, or not configured consistently.

Does this scanner check malware or deep vulnerabilities?

No. It focuses on common visible website configuration checks rather than deep exploit or malware scanning.

Can I scan client websites with it?

Yes. It works well for quick reviews and first-pass checks before deeper technical analysis.

What should I do after finding issues?

Review each result, fix the configuration on the site or server side, and run the scan again to confirm the improvement.

What is the difference between this tool and a header checker?

A header checker focuses mainly on HTTP headers, while this scanner combines headers with HTTPS, redirect, robots.txt, and sitemap checks in one place.

When should I use Website Security Scanner?

Website Security Scanner is useful for quick network checks, validation, and troubleshooting when you want a simple browser-based result.
