Overview

The Web Security Header Analyzer (WSHA) is a web-based platform designed to assess the security posture of websites by analyzing their HTTP response headers. These headers play a vital role in protecting web applications from threats such as cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, and data exposure.

WSHA simplifies this process by automatically scanning target URLs, grading security configurations, and providing clear recommendations. Its modern design and interactive results make it suitable for developers, students, and cybersecurity practitioners.

Challenges in Web Security

Despite the availability of tools, many websites still lack proper security headers due to:

❌ Complexity
Existing tools can be overly technical and difficult for beginners to use.
❌ Limited Features
Many tools lack scan history, user accounts, or report generation capabilities.
❌ Lack of Awareness
Developers may not fully understand the role of headers in web security.

WSHA solves these problems by offering a simple, insightful, and secure way to assess and improve web header configurations.
