Ivano (ID: 00000048a1223709) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/29/2015 Provides some useful information but doesn't detect the headers properly: often flags the headers as "Not returned" even though they are.

Royce Williams (ID: 0000007f02acf0d0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/26/2014 A one-stop shop for a variety of web-development security checks. A work in progress, and great work so far!

Carlos Fernandez San Millan (ID: 00000076b35034de) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/17/2013 I really found it helpful . I strongly recommend it. I agree that having it integrated with Chrome DevTools would make it even better. Thank you and keep up the work!

Jason Karns (ID: 0000002fdbddec58) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/13/2013 Would be better if it used a panel in Chrome DevTools. The information provided is quite useful, but the toolbar popup is clunky. Hard to really digest the info in such small screen real estate.
