Security-header grade

A live check of the HTTP security-response headers vercel.com sends, the same class of signal as securityheaders.com. Present headers score points; missing ones do not.

HEADER HYGIENE
A
90/100
✔Content-Security-Policy
✔Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS)
✔X-Content-Type-Options
✔X-Frame-Options
✔Referrer-Policy
✖Permissions-Policy
What this is, and is not. This grade reflects only the publicly observable HTTP response headers of vercel.com, measured automatically. It is a hygiene indicator, one signal among many. It is not a security audit, not a penetration test, and says nothing about Vercel's internal systems, code or data handling. Many secure sites score below A because headers like Content-Security-Policy are commonly omitted.

What Vercel is used for

  • Deploying Next.js and other frontends
  • Preview deployments
  • Edge functions
