   Below are some tests in regards to the settings of my server as well
   as the validity of the HTML and CSS used on this website. These are
   tests with the scores that I would like to see on every website and
   webserver, if only to tell your visitors that you care about them,
   that you care about yourself and that you want to set an example to
   the world.

   Not caring about these scores is basically not taking the internet
   seriously, not taking your own content seriously and you are there
   only for the money. So in the end you should always demand from your
   host to have many settings by default, without having to pay for
   them. And then it is up to you to work on your .HTACCESS file to
   ensure that your visitor has a safe, secure and happy visit to your
   website.

   Note: Using nearly any CMS, SEO Script or API will prevent you from
   reaching high scores and taking your visitors serious. The same goes
   for those websites offering free hosting, like Neocities. The best
   practice is to get your own domain and your own host provider.

   Title : W3C HTML Validator
   URL   : https://validator.w3.org/

   Description:
   This is the HTML validator from the W3C organization that brings us
   the standards in terms of the HTML code, ranging from XHTML 1.0
   Strict to HTML 5!

   If you are serious about your HTML code and proper implementation of
   it, then check your website using their validator.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Title : W3C CSS Validator
   URL   : https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

   Description:
   This is the CSS validator from the W3C organization that brings us
   the standards in terms of CSS coding, ranging from CSS Level 1 to
   CSS Level 3.

   Same as above, if you are serious about your CSS code and proper
   implementation of it, then check your website using their validator.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Title : W3C RSS Validator
   URL   : https://validator.w3.org/feed/

   Description:
   Now this is a recent discovery as I never really bothered with RSS
   feeds in the past. Having said this, during the remake of this
   website I decided to investigate many aspects further. I realized
   that my site should have an RSS file.

   So the best way to approach this is to use the RSS Validator in
   order to ensure the RSS feed to adhere to the standards.

   Title : The MDN Observatory
   URL   : https://observatory.mozilla.org/analyze/www.storin.nl

   Description:
   This is the Mozilla Developer Network Observatory, which runs
   several checks to see if you have implemented several aspects of
   your server and .HTACCESS file well. It checks whether you have
   HTTPS enabled, whether your CSP settings are correct, whether you
   have the (now defunct) X-XSS enabled or disabled and much more.

   To me their score has always been a benchmark. I have an A+ as of
   the moment of this writing and I see it as a sport, a goal, to have
   the highest score possible.

   Title : Internet.nl Checks
   URL   : https://internet.nl/site/www.storin.nl/2792995/
   URL   : https://internet.nl/mail/storin.nl/1141590/

   Description:
   This is a site developed by the Dutch government and the Dutch IT
   community, those who are serious I should add, running many checks
   on your server, similarly to the MDN Observatory actually, but they
   go beyond this. They offer solutions in Dutch and English to the
   issues they may have discovered and it goes all the way to the
   security.txt file.

   On this site it is also possible to check your email connection.
   That's where this site scores a 97% rather than a 100% perfect
   score. For me it has to do with me having a Let's Encrypt
   certificate being prolonged every three months, meaning I'd have to
   reactivate DANE at that time as well. Perhaps I should buy a
   permanent certificate instead to reach the 100% score.

   Title : Security Headers
   URL   : https://securityheaders.com/?q=storin.nl&followRedirects=on

   Description:
   This website, created by Scott Helme originally, solely checks on
   your security headers, like the CSP stuff. To me this was also,
   together with the MDN Observatory, an original benchmark. Reaching
   an A+ means you have done a good job in your settings!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Title : HTST Preload
   URL   : https://hstspreload.org/?domain=https://www.storin.nl

   Description:
   This site checks to see if you are eligible to be in the list of
   HTST Preloads, hard-coded in several browsers, though it began with
   Chrome but now also includes other browsers such as Firefox. The aim
   is to ensure that the sites eligible to be preloaded are a
   declaration of being loaded over a secure connection, HTTPS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Title : Crypt Check
   URL   : https://cryptcheck.fr/tls/storin.nl:443
   URL   : https://cryptcheck.fr/https/storin.nl
   URL   : https://cryptcheck.fr/smtp/storin.nl

   Description:
   This site checks various protocols; TLS, HTTPS, SMTP, on whether
   they are encrypted enough. To me the A+ applies on the three
   protocols with relative ease.

   There are more tests, such as a XMPP scan and others. I don't have
   my own XMPP server and therefore it isn't checked and added to this
   list.

   Title : Qualys SSL Checks
   URL   : https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.storin.nl

   Description:
   This site checks your SSL connections, showing how well the Secure
   Sockets Layer protocol has been implemented on your server. Getting
   high grades is only possible if your host takes you seriously.
