What are security headers and why audit them?

They're HTTP response directives—think HSTS for HTTPS enforcement, CSP to lock down scripts—that block common attacks like XSS or clickjacking. Auditing spots gaps frameworks miss.

Head to https://oleant.net/security-tools/headers-audit, paste your URL, hit enter. Instant breakdown with fix suggestions.

Does Laravel automatically set secure headers?

Nope—core protections exist, but headers need explicit middleware or server config. Tool proves it every time.
