Server Status Autor: Teal Dulcet

Quickly view basic information about every HTTP/HTTPS webpage that browsers either do not show or make difficult to find. The popup includes:

• Server location
• IP address(es)
• HTTP status code and version
• Load time, time to first byte, first paint and largest paint
• Transfer size
• *Last modified
• Certificate issuer and expiration date
• SSL/TLS protocol
• HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) status
• Number of requests and a Requests table with a row for each hostname/domain:
  • Number of connections
  • Icon(s) representing the classification by Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) feature
  • Icon representing the security state
  • Days left until certificate expiration
  • SSL/TLS version
  • HSTS max age in days
  • Icon representing the HTTP status code(s)
  • Hostname/Domain
  • IP address(es)
  • Flag for country of server location(s)

All of this information is determined offline and locally in the browser. Users can hover over almost everything in the popup, especially in the Requests table, to see tooltips with much more information. See here for descriptions of all the icons/emojis used. The toolbar icon is configurable and can show:

• Flag for country of server location (default)
  • Badge: Country code
• Internet Protocol version
• Days left until certificate expiration
• SSL/TLS version
• HTTP status code
• HTTP version
• Load time
• Largest Contentful Paint time

Users can hover over the toolbar icon to see a tooltip with the HTTP status line, IP address, Server location, Certificate issuer and expiration date, SSL/TLS protocol and HSTS status.

ℹ️ Note that this add-on requires around 100 MiB of memory (RAM) by default to store the IP geolocation database for offline location lookups. Users with limited memory can instead select one of the much smaller “Country only” databases from the options page, which just require about 5 MiB of memory. These databases only provide the country instead of the full location, similar to other add-ons such as FlagFox.
