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.

Used to promote alternative communication protocols through which the same resource can be retrieved.
h2 stands for HTTP/2 over TLS. The browser and server can decide to upgrade from HTTP/1.1 to HTTP/2 over TLS.

Specifies whether the network connection stays open after the current request. keep-alive specifies that the browser would like to keep the connection open, while close indicates that the browser wants to close the connection.

private means the response can only be stored by the browser's cache, but not by CDNs, proxies, or any other shared caches.
no-cache means the response can be stored by any cache, but the stored response must be validated with the origin server before each reuse. If the origin confirms that the response hasn't changed, downloading of the full response body can be skipped.
Warning no-cache will cause a revalidation request to the origin server for every use of the cached response. Consider using public with appropriate max-age to improve caching efficiency.

A cookie that was sent from the server to the browser.
expires= sets the maximum lifetime of the cookie using a specific date.
max-age= sets the maximum lifetime of the cookie in seconds.
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.

httponly forbids JavaScript from accessing the cookie. Helps mitigate the risk of client side scripts accessing a protected cookie.

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

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.

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 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-Frame-Options header. The X-Frame-Options header prevents this URL from being embedded in an iframe. This protects against clickjacking attacks. Alternatively, set a Content-Security-Policy header with a frame-ancestor directive.

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