How I Automated My Website Security Scanning (And Saved Hours)

How I Automated My Website Security Scanning (And Saved Hours)

Every developer knows they should test their website for vulnerabilities. But manually checking security headers, SSL certs, CORS misconfigurations, and open ports for every site is tedious.

I built a Python tool that does it all in one command.

What it checks:

  • Security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.)
  • SSL certificate validity & expiry
  • CORS misconfigurations
  • Open ports
  • Information disclosure
  • Clickjacking protection

The best part? It runs in under 30 seconds and gives you a clear risk score with actionable fix recommendations.

I've been using this for all my client projects and decided to package it up as a Pro version with additional features:

  • Unlimited scans
  • Detailed PDF reports
  • API access for CI/CD pipelines
  • Priority updates on new vulnerability checks

Try it out:

Whether you're a solo developer or running a production app, a few quick scans can prevent costly security incidents down the line.
