Security Checks / Referrer Policy Check

Referrer Policy Check

Ensure referrer information is not over-shared.

Check a Website

Enter a URL to run a scan and review relevant security signals.

What It Is

Referrer-Policy controls how much of the URL is sent in the Referer header.

Why It Matters

It reduces leakage of sensitive paths and query strings to third parties.

How to Fix

  • Set Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin (common default).
