Header
Value
Explanation
expires
fri, 25 apr 2025 04:11:33 gmt
This Expires date is in the past: the page is considered stale and will be removed from all caches.
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.
content-type
text/html
The type of the message body, specified as a MIME type.
cache-control
public, max-age=3600
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.
accept-ranges
bytes
Used by the server to advertise its support of partial HTTP requests. The browser can ask for a range or subset of the response body. It's a feature that allows a browser to resume an interrupted download. bytes is the only range unit currently supported. none means that the server does not support range requests.
date
fri, 25 apr 2025 04:44:27 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.
age
1974
The time in seconds that the page has been in the shared proxy cache. The maximum age is set by max-age or s-maxage in the Cache-Control header.
x-served-by
cache-chi-klot8100021-chi, cache-iad-kcgs7200127-iad
Fastly's shield and edge servers that were queried for the request.
x-cache
miss, hit
The page was served from a cache.
vary
accept-encoding
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.
strict-transport-security
max-age=31557600
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.
alt-svc
h3=":443";ma=86400,h3-29=":443";ma=86400,h3-27=":443";ma=86400
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.
ma=86400 specifies that the alternative service information is fresh for 86400 seconds.
ma=86400 specifies that the alternative service information is fresh for 86400 seconds.
content-length
1785
The size of the message body, in bytes.
content-security-policy
missing Add a Content-Security-Policy header. The Content-Security-Policy header helps browsers prevent cross site scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks.
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-frame-options
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.
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.
