HTTPS & HSTS Check — Does Your Site Force Secure Connections?
DevMeth checks the 48 known AI-code failure patterns — not a penetration test or a security guarantee.
What the issue is
A site that does not redirect HTTP to HTTPS, or that omits a long-lived HSTS header, lets traffic run in the clear and lets browsers make insecure first connections.
Why AI tools generate it
Local dev often runs on http, and AI-generated deploys can surface the insecure origin or fail to send HSTS, leaving the hardening gap in place.
How DevMeth detects it
A read-only live probe checks whether an http request to your site redirects to https (301) and whether https responses carry a long-lived HSTS header.
HTTP traffic isn't redirected to HTTPS and security headers are missing
WHAT WE FOUND
http:// → https — no 301 redirect; no HSTS header
The fix, in three steps
Force HTTPS at the host/CDN with a 301 redirect and add a long-lived HSTS header. Three steps.

Why does HSTS matter?
HSTS tells browsers to always connect over HTTPS, preventing downgrade and first-request attacks once a user has visited.
How is this tested?
A read-only probe checks that http:// redirects to https and that https responses include a long-lived HSTS header.
What is the fix?
Redirect all HTTP to HTTPS with a 301 at the host or CDN and send a long-lived HSTS header on HTTPS responses.
DevMeth checks the 48 known AI-code failure patterns — not a penetration test or a security guarantee. A clear result means each known pattern was checked and found clear or not applicable for your app; it is not a guarantee of security.
