Why this matters

Security issues often sit quietly until something goes wrong: an exposed config file, a missing security header, an outdated library, or a subdomain that can be taken over by someone else. Most site owners never check for these things because it takes time and know how. This tool runs the full checklist for you and tells you plainly what needs attention.

What it checks

The 47 checks cover several areas:

  • Transport and header security, like HTTPS redirects, security headers, and TLS certificate expiry
  • Exposed files and attack surface, like config files, backup files, and admin panels
  • CMS and framework detection, including outdated libraries and version leaks
  • Malware and blocklist reputation, including hidden spam and cloaking
  • Bot and form abuse protection
  • DNS and email security, like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records
  • Front end and ad integrity
  • Compliance, like privacy policy and cookie consent presence

How it works

This tool is different from the rest of the line. Instead of crawling page by page, it runs a fixed checklist against your site using a handful of targeted requests, a light sample of pages, and some DNS lookups. The homepage, robots.txt, and up to 15 internal pages are fetched once and shared across every check. You can export the results as an Excel file or a styled PDF report.

How to install Full Site Security Auditor

It takes about a minute. You only do this once.

  1. Download the zip file with the button on this page and unzip it. You will get a folder called full-site-security-auditor.
  2. Open the extensions page. In Chrome, type chrome://extensions in the address bar and press Enter. In Edge use edge://extensions, in Brave brave://extensions.
  3. Turn on Developer mode with the switch in the top right corner.
  4. Click Load unpacked and choose the unzipped folder (the one that contains manifest.json).
  5. Pin the icon from the puzzle piece menu in your toolbar, so it is always one click away.

Good to know

A few checks are left out on purpose because there is no reliable, free way to run them from a browser extension, such as Google Safe Browsing lookups and raw TLS handshake inspection. Nothing this tool finds is ever actively tested or exploited, it only flags things for you to review. This tool works in English only.
