HttpFixer vs security header checkers — Why Fixers Beat Checkers
Most security header tools give you a grade. You see a red row, Google the header name, read three blog posts, and eventually paste something into your nginx.conf that may or may not be right for your setup.
HttpFixer skips the research step. It fetches your live headers, detects whether you're on Nginx, Cloudflare, Vercel, or Express, and outputs the exact block to paste. Same audit — just with the fix attached.
How they compare
| Header checkers | HttpFixer | |
|---|---|---|
| Output | Letter grade | Grade + copy-paste config |
| Config | None — you research it | Nginx, Apache, Cloudflare, Vercel, Express |
| Scope | Headers only | Headers, CORS, CSP, OAuth, cache, PageSpeed |
| Price | Free | Free (MIT) |
If you already know which header is missing, you don't need another checker. You need the fix. That's what HttpFixer is for.
