Check how you're doing and inform yourself

When you are curious about how your website performs, or when you want to test the security measures that you have already taken, there are a lot of free scanners to be found, some only scan headers, others do a more thorough scan which can take up to 10 minutes.

And next to introducing measurements in your website, you also need to stay informed about new security-issues, I'll provide some links of good recourses for that purpose.
