Half of surveyed small-business sites fail basic security headers
Original: Security headers on 4,688 small-business websites: 49.7% met none of 7 criteria
A new analysis of 4,688 small-business websites reports that 49.7% meet none of seven standard HTTP security header criteria, highlighting widespread gaps in basic web security hygiene among smaller firms. The findings are drawing attention in developer and tech communities, where commenters argue many small businesses lack the expertise or resources to harden their sites against common attacks.
Why now: The scale of the gap — nearly half of thousands of sites failing every security header check — makes the study a striking reminder of small-business exposure to online threats.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 4 snapshots from 5 h ago to 1 h ago.
