Header
Value
Explanation
date
wed, 20 aug 2025 03:53:32 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
.cache-control
public, max-age=0, s-maxage=300
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.etag
w/"273050b37b56b8119cb91bac7e01d304"
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. This particular Etag
value starts with w/
which means that it is a weak identifier; while unlikely, multiple pages might have the same identifier. Weak identifiers are used because strong identifiers can be difficult and costly to generate.last-modified
thu, 31 jul 2025 18:39:36 utc
The date and time at which the origin server believes the page was last modified.
Notice Because there is an
Notice Because there is an
Etag
header, Last-Modified
is likely to be ignored. The ETag
hash is more accurate than the date/time in Last-Modified
. Consider removing Last-Modified
to save bandwidth and processing power.strict-transport-security
max-age=315360000; includesubdomains; preload
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.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.vary

nosniff
The
The value
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.cf-cache-status
expired
The page was found in Cloudflare's cache but was expired. Cloudflare asked the origin web server for an updated copy.
server
cloudflare
cf-ray
971ef1b88c330658-iad
The
cf-ray
header provides a unique identifier for each request through Cloudflare. It's useful for troubleshooting and tracking requests in Cloudflare logs.alt-svc
h3=":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.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.Questions or feedback? Email dries@buytaert.net.
