Explanation

Some of the software used to generate or serve this page.
Warning Sharing too many details about a server or web application makes it easier for hackers to target a website. Avoid specific version numbers such as 8.0.30, especially when running software that is end-of-life and/or has known security bugs. Consider removing this header. At a miminum, remove any version number.

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

The URL of the XML-RPC Pingback endpoint. Used to notify the site owner about a new post linking to this site. Webention is a newer alternative to Pingbacks.

rel="https://api.w.org/" is where you can learn more about WordPress' REST API. Applications can interact with this WordPress site by sending and receiving JSON objects.

Specifies a link that might be of interest to the browser.

rel="shortlink" specifies a shorter URL for the current page, to be used in space constrained interfaces and/or for manual entry.

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.

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 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.

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.
Notice Varying on user-agent can lead to low cache efficiency due to the high number of unique user agents. Only use this if you're serving significantly different content based on user agent.

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.
