Thank you kindly. I used this + one more resource to get my startups site all green (I thought HTTPS redirect was enough) - hopefully it doesn't cause any bugs/issues this busy week but it's now done :) Cheers

#42Hey, I'm the main author of this. Happy to see that people like it! As I wrote elsewhere in the comments we're planning to redesign the results page and rewrite all the text later this year. The current page hasn't changed much since mid-2016. Need to refresh/expand technical advice, be more clear about the limitations of the service, etc. I'll note down all suggestions here. I'd also like recommend a similar project…
Thanks for making this - I like to think that my blog is at least privacy conscious, but there are tips on here that I didn't know about.
Will definitely be doing a few updates this week.

#44@andersju Thanks for making this web site. I have used this site in the past, and it helped me make my Hugo generated static site more secure.
Your site is very informative, and easy even for a non-webdev like me to grasp.

#45This is a great tool! I have used it to check government websites. Government websites typically have a monopoly on the service they provide. As a citizen you can not easily choose to take you business elsewhere.
For a government website you could argue that there should be no third parties using the information about the visitor's interaction with the government. But a lot of government websites still use 3rd party scripts that specifically use information about your for ad targeting.
