Explanation
x-powered-by
php/8.2.16
Some of the software used to generate or serve this page.
Warning Sharing too many details about a server or web application makes it easier for hackers to target a website. Avoid specific version numbers such as 8.2.16, especially when running software that is end-of-life and/or has known security bugs. Consider removing this header. At a miminum, remove any version number.
content-type
text/html; charset=utf-8
The type of the message body, specified as a MIME type.
x-ua-compatible
ie=edge
Instructs Internet Explorer what compatibility mode to use to render this page. For example, ie=9 specifies that the page should be rendered as if the user was using Internet Explorer 9, even if they use Internet Explorer 11 or later. It's basically a hack for working around compatibility issues between different versions of Internet Explorer.
cache-control
public, max-age=604800
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.
expires
wed, 01 jan 2025 03:08:45 gmt
This Expires date is in the future: the page can be served from a cache. The page is set to expire in 475257 seconds. At that point, caches should be refreshed.
Notice Because there is a Cache-Control header with a max-age and/or s-maxage directive, the Expires header will be ignored. Consider removing Expires to save bandwidth and processing power.
etag
"117035-1735096125;;;"
A unique identifier that changes every time a page at a given URL changes. It acts as a fingerprint. A cache can compare Etag values to see if the page has changed and became stale. For example, a browsers will send the ETag value of a cached page in an If-None-Match header. The web server compares the ETag value sent by the browser with the ETag value of the current version of the page. If both values are the same, the web server sends back a 304 Not Modified status and no body.
x-litespeed-cache
hit
The page was served from LiteSpeed's cache.
date
thu, 26 dec 2024 15:07:48 gmt
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.

content-security-policy
upgrade-insecure-requests
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.
upgrade-insecure-requests instructs browsers to replace insecure URLs (HTTP) with secure URLs (HTTPS).
strict-transport-security
missing Add a Strict-Transport-Security header. The Strict-Transport-Security header or HSTS header is used to instruct browsers to only use HTTPS, instead of using HTTP. It helps enforce secure communication.
referrer-policy
missing Add a Referrer-Policy header. When a visitor navigates from one page to another, browsers often pass along referrer information. The Referrer-Policy header controls how much referrer information a browser can share. This is important to configure when private information is embedded in the path or query string and passed onto an external destination.
permissions-policy
missing Add a Permissions-Policy header. Restrict access to device features like the camera, microphone, location, accelerometer and much more.
cross-origin-embedder-policy
missing Add a Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy to specify how this page can be loaded by cross-origin resources.
cross-origin-opener-policy
missing Add a Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy header to opt-in into better browser isolation.
cross-origin-resource-policy
missing Add a Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy header to specify who can load this page.
x-permitted-cross-domain-policies
missing Add a X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies header to prevent Flash, Adobe Reader and other clients from sharing data across domains.
