What is a security headers audit ?

It's scanning your site's HTTP response headers for security gaps—like missing CSP or weak HSTS—that expose you to attacks.

How do I audit my own security headers?

Use free tools like Oleant's at https://oleant.net/security-tools/headers-audit: paste URL, get instant report on X-Frame-Options, CSP, and more.

No—frameworks like Laravel secure the backend, but frontend/Nginx headers need manual config or tools to verify.
