Want to check a website trust score online without installing security tools, buying a scanner, or signing up for a trial?

This howtoany guide shows how to get a free trust-focused score on MyWebsiteScore: paste a public URL, read HTTPS and credibility findings, then fix what makes visitors hesitate.

What a trust check should tell you

A useful score maps to real credibility problems, not a vanity badge. MyWebsiteScore looks at:

  • Transport security — HTTPS and HSTS signals that browsers expect on a modern site
  • Security headers — Content Security Policy and related headers that reduce injection and mixed-content risk
  • Credibility gaps — trust issues that sit next to weak SEO, slow pages, or unclear UX
  • Related health — SEO, speed, UX, and conversion findings that often appear beside trust problems

You are scoring a website people can open in a browser, not hardware. Use a real public page.

Steps

  1. Copy the homepage or landing page people actually open — a public URL, not a logged-in dashboard.
  2. Open MyWebsiteScore and paste that URL into the Website URL field.
  3. Click Analyze your website. The report appears in a few seconds with no account required.
  4. Review the trust section for HTTPS and HSTS gaps, missing Content Security Policy, and other credibility issues ranked by impact.
  5. Ship the highest-priority trust fixes, then run the same URL again to confirm the score moved.
