Analyze any URL safely using the Cloudflare Radar URL Scanner

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has introduced early access to its new Radar URL Scanner, a free tool that compiles a comprehensive report about any given URL. The scanner provides various technical details including phishing and SSL certificate information, HTTP request and response data, page performance metrics, DNS records, and more. It can also indicate whether cookies are set securely or if they're HttpOnly to mitigate potential XSS attacks. The technology tab enumerates the technologies used in a webpage, while the network tab shows all HTTP transactions along with associated DNS records. The DOM tab lists hyperlinks and global JavaScript variables from within the page. In the future, Cloudflare plans on adding more features such as API endpoints for private scans, security recommendations, and integrations with its Security Center. This tool aims to make the internet more transparent and secure by enhancing threat modeling and providing insights from aggregate trends observed.
