Security.txt, UX and performance update

This week's update has quite some impact on three fronts. The first is that there is quite a performance update. The GUI is notably faster and more snappy.

The second is that the User Experience has improved. There are copy icons next to almost all ip addresses, urls, and hashes. Most of these are clickable and lead you to some other page in the GUI, meaning they are hard to copy. Typically you do want to copy them for checks in other systems, and that has become much easier now. Some layouts have improved, and on the website and certificate pages there is an external link icon allowing you to easily open the website in a new tab for visual inspection. There is an external link icon for the security.txt files too.

The third and last is the improved syntax check on security.txt. For every website, there are three new fields available: security_txt_exists, security_txt_valid, and security_txt_errors. To help you find your way around these, there are two new reports available in the report library: the "Security.txt validation report" showing all websites with a problematic security.txt file, and the "Missing security.txt report" showing all websites that do not have a security.txt file.
