Enhancing HTTP Headers in Drupal with Dries' Analyzer Tool
Ricardo Sanz, CTO of Metadrop, recently shared insights on improving HTTP headers in Drupal sites using Dries Buytaert's HTTP Header Analyzer. This tool, tailored specifically for Drupal, evaluates headers from HTTP responses, offering recommendations on security and performance improvements.
Sanz detailed how the tool helped his team achieve a 10/10 score for their homepage by addressing issues related to caching and security headers, such as Strict-Transport-Security and Content-Security-Policy. He also highlighted challenges with headers like Expires and Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy, particularly when working with external resources like YouTube. Despite minor obstacles, including a bug in the tool that was quickly resolved by Dries, Ricardo emphasized the tool's effectiveness in enhancing web security in Drupal environments.
