Explanation

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=2592000 specifies that the alternative service information is fresh for 2592000 seconds.

private means the response can only be stored by the browser's cache, but not by CDNs, proxies, or any other shared caches.
max-age=0 with must-revalidate means caching is disabled and all requests must be validated with the origin server.
no-transform indicates that no transformations or conversions should be made to the page (e.g. it prevents shared caches from converting image formats in order to save cache space or bandwidth).

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

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.

Instructs a browser to selectively allow or deny certain browser APIs and features. It helps improve security.

A cookie that was sent from the server to the browser.
path= indicates the path that must exist in the requested URL for the browser to send the cookie.
Notice samesite=lax instructs the browser not to share the cookie with third-party sites (e.g. when loading images, videos or frames from other sites), with one exception. The cookie will be sent when a user is navigating to the origin site from an external site (for example, when following a link). To improve protection against cross-site request forgery attacks, set to samesite=strict.
secure instructs the browser to only send the cookie back when HTTPS requests are used, making it more resistant to man-in-the-middle attacks.
httponly forbids JavaScript from accessing the cookie. Helps mitigate the risk of client side scripts accessing a protected cookie.

max-age= sets the maximum lifetime of the cookie in seconds.

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.
includesubdomains instructs the browser that all subdomains are HTTPS-only as well.
preload recommends the domain for inclusion in browsers' preload lists. If accepted, the domain would get hardcoded into browsers as HTTPS-only.

The Via header tracks how a page is forwarded from proxy to proxy. Beware, not all proxies append themselves to the Via header.

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.

X-Frame-Options prevents this URL from being embedded in an iframe. This protects against clickjacking attacks.
sameorigin means that this page can be displayed in a iframe, but only on the currrent origin. It can't be displayed on another domain. Consider setting this to deny for added security.

The size of the message body, in bytes.

missing Add a Content-Security-Policy header. The Content-Security-Policy header helps browsers prevent cross site scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks.

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.

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.
