Explanation

The date and time at which the request was made. A browser uses it for age calculations rather than using its own internal date and time; e.g. when comparing against Max-Age or Expires.

The type of the message body, specified as a MIME type.

The cf-ray header provides a unique identifier for each request through Cloudflare. It's useful for troubleshooting and tracking requests in Cloudflare logs.

Warning The dynamic status indicates that Cloudflare did not cache the requested HTML page, similar to a "cache miss". By default, Cloudflare caches static assets such as images, CSS, and JavaScript but excludes HTML due to its dynamic nature. To cache HTML content, change the 'Cache Level' setting from dynamic to cache everything in Cloudflare. This adjustment allows HTML pages to be cached, leveraging Cloudflare's global network for faster and more efficient content delivery.

public means the response may be stored by all caches, including browser caches, CDNs, and shared caches.
max-age specifies the maximum amount of seconds a page is considered valid. The higher max-age, the longer a page can be cached.
Because max-age is set to 0 seconds, browser caching is disabled. However, shared caches (like CDNs) will still cache according to the s-maxage value.
stale-if-error instructs the browser to accept a stale response if the check for a fresh one fails. The value is the number of seconds the browser will accept a stale response for. This is good for reliability; e.g. when the origin goes down.

rel="preconnect" informs the browser that the page intends to establish a connection to the specified server. To reduce latency and optimize performance, the browser is encouraged to establish an HTTP connection as soon as possible. Preconnecting is used when the hostname is known, but the exact URL not yet.

The Strict-Transport-Security header (HSTS) instructs browsers to only use HTTPS for future connections to this domain, enhancing security by preventing downgrade attacks and cookie hijacking.
max-age specifies the time, in seconds, that the browser should remember to use HTTPS only for this domain.

The Vary header specifies a list of headers that must be considered when caching responses. For a cached response to be used, these headers must match between the cached response and the new request. This ensures that the appropriate version of a resource is served based on factors like language, encoding, or device type.
Notice This request has many Vary headers. More headers decrease the likelihood of a cache hit.

The Content Security Policy (CSP) header helps prevent cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, and other code injection attacks by specifying which dynamic resources are allowed to load.
default-src sets the default policy for fetching resources like JavaScript, images, CSS, fonts, AJAX requests, frames, HTML5 media.
script-src specifies valid sources for JavaScript. This includes not only URLs loaded directly into <script> elements, but also things like inline script event handlers (onclick) and XSLT stylesheets which can trigger script execution.
base-uri defines what URLs can be used in the <base> URL.
object-src defines what <object>, <embed> and <applet> elements are allowed to be loaded and executed.
style-src defines what CSS stylesheets are allowed to be loaded.
img-src defines what images and favicons can be loaded.
font-src defines what fonts can be loaded using CSS's font-face.
frame-src defines what <frame> and <iframe> elements can be loaded.
frame-ancestors defines what parents may embed a page using <frame>, <iframe>, <object>, <embed> or <applet>.
form-action defines what URLs can be used for form submissions.
Notice Consider adding the upgrade-insecure-requests directive to automatically upgrade HTTP requests to HTTPS, helping to prevent mixed content issues.

This header is part of the Reporting API specification. They are used to configure the reporting of network errors and other issues to a specified endpoint.
The NEL (Network Error Logging) header configures the reporting of network errors.
report_to defines the reporting group that reports for this NEL policy will be sent to. The reporting group details are specified in the Report-To header.
max_age defines the number of seconds the browser should remember these settings. Prevents the browser from having to parse the JSON on each request.
success_fraction defines the sampling rate that should be applied to reports about successful network requests. Its value must be a number between 0.0 and 1.0: 0 means no successful requests should be reported, and 1 means that every successful request should be reported.

When a visitor navigates from one page to another page, browsers often pass along referrer information. The Referrer-Policy header controls how much referrer information a browser can share. This is important because private information can be embedded in the path or query string.
no-referrer-when-downgrade means that the protocol, host, port, path and query string are shared. It is only shared when the protocol security level remains the same (HTTP → HTTP, HTTPS → HTTPS) or improves (HTTP → HTTPS). When the protocol becomes less secure (HTTPS → HTTP), nothing is shared.

This header is part of the Reporting API specification. They are used to configure the reporting of network errors and other issues to a specified endpoint.
The Report-To header specifies where reports should be sent.
group defines the reporting group. Groups allow reports to be grouped logically; e.g. there could be a group for network errors and a second group for browser feature deprecation reports.
max_age defines the number of seconds the browser should remember these settings. Prevents the browser from having to parse the JSON on each request.
endpoints defines one or more URLs where the reports need to be send to. Multiple URLs can be specified for failover and load-balancing. Endpoints can be assigned a weight to distribute load, with each endpoint receiving a specified fraction of the reporting traffic. Endpoints can also be assigned a priority to set up fallback collectors.

The X-Content-Type-Options header, when set to nosniff, prevents MIME type sniffing. This enhances security by ensuring browsers respect the declared Content-Type of the response, mitigating MIME confusion attacks.
The value nosniff is correctly set, providing protection against MIME type sniffing attacks.

Some of the software used to generate or serve this page.

The alt-svc header advertises alternative services for accessing the same resource, enabling protocol negotiation and potential performance improvements.
h3 indicates that HTTP/3 is supported. Variants like h3-29 refer to specific drafts of the HTTP/3 protocol.
ma=86400 specifies that the alternative service information is fresh for 86400 seconds.

missing Add a Permissions-Policy header. Restrict access to device features like the camera, microphone, location, accelerometer and much more.

missing Add a Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy to specify how this page can be loaded by cross-origin resources.

missing Add a Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy header to opt-in into better browser isolation.

missing Add a Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy header to specify who can load this page.

missing Add a X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies header to prevent Flash, Adobe Reader and other clients from sharing data across domains.
