Header
Value
Explanation
server
nginx/1.20.1
date
sat, 21 dec 2024 14:51:43 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-type
text/html; charset=utf-8
The type of the message body, specified as a MIME type.
content-length
28797
The size of the message body, in bytes.
x-frame-options
sameorigin
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.
pragma
no-cache
Warning The page can't be cached by any shared caches such as Varnish or a CDN. If the page is something everybody can access, this behavior is not desired.
Notice Pragma is a HTTP/1.0 header. This request uses HTTP/1.1. In HTTP/1.1, Pragma is deprecated and superseded by the Cache-Control header. Remove Pragma to save bandwidth and processing power.
cache-control
no-store
Warning no-store means the response may not be stored in any cache, including the browser's cache.
strict-transport-security
max-age=31536000; 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.
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-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.
