What this gap means

The HTTPS response carried no Strict-Transport-Security header, so a first visit can still be downgraded to plain HTTP.

Control: HTTP Strict Transport Security header. Rule: no_hsts over the census record (reachable sites only). Who buys this: Security teams, MSPs and hosting or CDN vendors serving government sites.

The obligation it maps to

HTTPS and HSTS on federal websites (OMB M-15-13): Federal agencies must serve public websites over HTTPS and send HSTS (OMB memorandum M-15-13, June 2015). The census records HSTS on the final response of the homepage fetch and counts domains that answer only over plain HTTP. Source

Atom feed: .gov domains that entered or left this list according to the live re-checks (every 6 hours a rotating slice, each domain at most once per 14 days; each entry says which way it moved and which field changed). no-hsts.top.json: the first 50 rows and the counts by state as JSON, CORS open.

Membership reflects the homepage and well-known files as fetched on 2026-09-30: a control that exists but was not found where the census looked counts as missing, and sites answering 403 to our one polite request count as reachable.
