Detailed checks

HTTPS availability

The site is reachable over HTTPS.

Why it matters: HTTPS encrypts traffic and protects user data.

HTTP to HTTPS redirect

Requests to HTTP are redirected to HTTPS.

TLS & CertificateA

You entered youtu.be. After redirects, browsers use www.youtube.com. The same certificate covers both hosts.

ValidYes
IssuerC=US, O=Google Trust Services, CN=WR2
Expires2026-12-03
Days until expiry61 days
OCSP staplingNo

Why it matters: A valid, non-expired certificate ensures encryption is trusted by browsers.

  • •For A+: add HSTS preload.

Security headers5/6

  • HSTS
  • CSP
  • X-Frame-Options
  • X-Content-Type-Options
  • Referrer-Policy
  • Permissions-Policy

Score: 5 of 6 headers effective. For the grade factor (5 pts), 4+ headers and Content-Security-Policy (CSP) are both required.

Cache-Control includes no-store on the HTML response. Browsers will not cache the document; ETag and conditional requests (304) are effectively disabled. Often intentional for authenticated pages; for public pages consider private with max-age or removing no-store if you want HTTP caching.

HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security)Enabled

  • EnabledYes
  • Max-Age365 days
  • PreloadNo
Submit or verify on hstspreload.org

Why it matters: HSTS tells browsers to use only HTTPS for this site. Preload allows inclusion in browsers’ built-in HSTS lists.

We check Chromium’s built-in list. hstspreload.org checks eligibility for submission (HSTS header, redirect chain). Results may differ for domains that are preloaded but no longer meet current eligibility rules.

Redirect chain324ms total

When you visit the site over HTTP, the server may send you through one or more redirects until you land on the final HTTPS URL. Shorter chains are faster and better for SEO.

Recommendations for youtu.be

Based on this scan, here are the 3 next steps that would most improve security and SEO for youtu.be.

  1. Add 1 missing security header

    Recommended

    youtu.be sends 5 of 6 recommended security headers — missing: Referrer-Policy. Most take one line of server config and protect against clickjacking, MIME sniffing and data leaks.

  2. Disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1

    Recommended

    youtu.be still accepts TLS 1.0 and/or TLS 1.1. Modern browsers have removed those versions; leaving them on costs grade points and fails many compliance scans. Restrict the server to TLS 1.2 and 1.3.

  3. Enable OCSP stapling

    Nice to have

    youtu.be did not staple an OCSP response on the TLS handshake. Stapling saves a round-trip for visitors and keeps revocation checks off the CA. Informational — it does not affect the SSL grade.
