how to audit your website's configuration without pain and manual checks

the problem

maintaining a secure and compliant website often involves manually checking multiple configuration files and headers, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. missing a small misconfiguration could lead to security leaks or compliance failures.

the solution

introduce the web-configuration-audit api, which performs an in-depth review of your site's configuration. it checks robots.txt, sitemap.xml, headers, meta tags, and even the presence of sensitive files like .env. the result helps you identify misconfigurations and security issues in one go.

curl -s https://web-configuration-audit.apimesh.xyz/check?url=https://yourwebsite.com
// output example
{
  "misconfigurations": [
    "missing sitemap",
    "exposed .env file",
    "missing security headers"
  ],
  "status": "pass" // or fail
}

how it works

this api performs a series of checks: it fetches and analyzes robots.txt for crawl directives, verifies sitemap.xml accessibility, inspects response headers for security features, scans meta tags for security or indexing issues, and checks for the presence of your .env file or similar leaks. it combines these insights into a comprehensive assessment.
