More about Handig Web and robots.txt

  • Public only, entered by you

    Handig Web only reads pages that anyone can see without logging in, and only the address you enter. It skips login pages.

  • No email addresses or phone numbers

    Handig Web refuses to collect them. Links to mailto: and tel: are only counted, never shown or exported.

  • Copyright stays

    Texts, tables and images belong to whoever made them. Use them to check or to quote with a source, not to copy.

  • One page at a time

    No scraping of sites. Handig Web reads what you give: a page, a short list or the sitemap a site offers itself. It follows robots.txt and keeps the pace low.

How it works

View HTTP headers in three steps

  1. Paste the address

    Of a public page, with or without https://.

  2. Follow the route

    Handig Web shows every redirect with its code, up to the final address.

  3. Read the grade

    From A+ to F, with what each security header does and whether it is set well.

Questions

Good to know

  • Why can’t I see the value of cookies?

    A cookie can carry a session. Handig Web only shows the name of each cookie the server sets, never the value, and never sends cookies itself.

  • How is the grade worked out?

    Six points count: HSTS, CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy and protection against framing. Without https it is always F.

  • Does Handig Web read the page itself?

    No. For this tool Handig Web requests the page, reads the headers and closes the connection before the content arrives.
