Trust

Your certificate, the response headers a browser uses to decide how far to trust the site, and anything still loading over HTTP. The fixes here usually belong to whoever runs your servers.

How to get there#

Explore → Trust.

  1. 1

    Open Trust in the sidebar

    Last under Explore.

  2. 2

    Start on Overview

    Two cards: the certificate on the left, header coverage on the right.

app.pixyscan.com/w/…/s/…/trust

The Trust screen's Overview: a configuration badge and page count, a certificate card with issuer, soonest expiry and pages expiring, and a header coverage card listing HSTS, CSP, clickjacking, referrer policy and insecure content.
The Overview tab: the certificate and its expiry date on the left, missing response headers on the right.

The three tabs#

A summary, the detail per page, and the insecure files.

FieldShowsWhat it does
OverviewTwo cardsThe certificate and header coverage, with a badge showing how many different configurations were found.
TablePer pageWhich headers each page actually sent, including their values.
Insecure contentPer assetScripts and files loaded over HTTP from an HTTPS page. Usually the shortest list here, and the most urgent.

The five headers#

Most sites send none of these. Very few send all five.

FieldIf missingWhat it does
Strict-Transport-SecurityDowngrade possibleThe browser tries HTTP first on a new visit. This is one header, set once, on your server or CDN.
Content-Security-PolicyNo injection defenceThe hardest of the five to add, because a wrong policy breaks the site. Do it carefully.
Clickjacking protectionFramableYour page can be embedded inside somebody else's site.
Referrer policyLeakyThe full URL is sent with every outbound click, which can reveal private paths.
Mixed contentBroken padlockNot a header, but counted here because it has the same cause: a file reference nobody updated to HTTPS.

Watch the certificate expiry

An expiring certificate is the one thing on this screen that becomes an outage if you ignore it. Put the site on a schedule and turn on scan-completed alerts so you are reminded.
