What Is HTTP Observatory? A Useful Tool for Checking Your Website

HTTP Observatory is a simple tool that checks your website’s security headers and basic protection settings. It helps you quickly review important items like HTTPS, HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, Referrer-Policy, and other common security headers.

I added this tool to MTKits to make website security checks easier for developers and site owners.

You can try it here:

It is useful when you want to:

  • Check if your website sends the right security headers
  • Spot missing protections
  • Get a simple report without a complex setup

The goal is to keep things easy and practical. Instead of digging through raw headers manually, you can scan a site and understand the basics in a faster way.

If you manage websites regularly, this can be a helpful quick-check tool.
