Free web tools — what each one does

Everything at https://valpero.com/tools is free, no signup, fair-use rate-limited. You don't need a Valpero account to use any of it. Below is a one-line summary of each tool and when you'd reach for it.

SSL Check — /tools/ssl

Quickest answer: is my certificate valid, and when does it expire? Returns issuer, days remaining, and whether the chain is sane. Good for a quick smoke test.

TLS Audit — /tools/tls-audit

Goes much deeper than SSL Check. We probe which TLS protocol versions your server still accepts (TLS 1.0/1.1 are broken in 2026), what cipher suite you negotiated, whether HSTS is set, and grade the result A–F like SSL Labs.

Reach for this when:

  • Your auditor or a customer asked you to prove TLS 1.2+ only.
  • A browser flagged your site as "not secure" but the cert looks fine.
  • You're hardening a public-facing service before a launch.

Ping / Availability — /tools/ping

Fires a single HTTP request from our infrastructure and reports the status code + latency. Tells you whether the site is reachable from a neutral viewpoint, not just from your office Wi-Fi.

DNS Lookup — /tools/dns

Standard A / AAAA / MX / NS / TXT / CNAME / SOA lookup. One resolver, one shot.

DNS Propagation — /tools/dns-propagation

The same lookup, but against 10 different public resolvers at once: Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, OpenDNS, AdGuard, Yandex, DNS.WATCH, Comodo, Level3, CleanBrowsing.

Use this immediately after changing a record. If all 10 agree, you're good. If they disagree, propagation is still rolling out — wait a few minutes and re-check.

HTTP Headers — /tools/headers

Dumps every response header for the URL plus a 0–6 security score based on whether HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy are present.

Mixed Content Scanner — /tools/mixed-content

Loads an HTTPS page and looks for any http:// resources — scripts, stylesheets, images, iframes — that would break the padlock. Common after a half-finished migration to HTTPS.

Sitemap Validator — /tools/sitemap-validator

Parses your sitemap.xml (or sitemap-index), counts URLs, validates the XML, and surfaces missing lastmod tags. The first thing to check when Google Search Console says it can't read your sitemap.

Port Checker — /tools/port

Is TCP port 22 / 80 / 443 / 5432 open on this host? We support a short whitelist of well-known ports — random-port scans are not allowed.

WHOIS Lookup — /tools/whois

Domain registrar, creation date, expiry, nameservers. Useful for checking whether you actually own a domain you think you own.

Speed Test — /tools/speedtest

Streams a 5–50 MB payload from our origin and measures real download bandwidth. Useful when you want to compare your connection against the route Valpero takes to your server.
