Upcoming Headers
Cross-Origin-Embedder-PolicyCross-Origin Embedder Policy allows a site to prevent assets being loaded that do not grant permission to load them via CORS or CORP.
Cross-Origin-Opener-PolicyCross-Origin Opener Policy allows a site to opt-in to Cross-Origin Isolation in the browser.
Cross-Origin-Resource-PolicyCross-Origin Resource Policy allows a resource owner to specify who can load the resource.
Additional Information
x-content-type-optionsX-Content-Type-Options stops a browser from trying to MIME-sniff the content type and forces it to stick with the declared content-type. The only valid value for this header is "X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff".
content-security-policyContent Security Policy is an effective measure to protect your site from XSS attacks. By whitelisting sources of approved content, you can prevent the browser from loading malicious assets. Analyse this policy in more detail. You can sign up for a free account on Report URI to collect reports about problems on your site.
access-control-allow-originThis is a very lax CORS policy. Such a policy should only be used on a public CDN.
x-xss-protectionX-XSS-Protection sets the configuration for the XSS Auditor built into older browsers. The recommended value was "X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block" but you should now look at Content Security Policy instead.
X-Frame-OptionsThe XFO header was not sent but frame-ancestors in Content Security Policy was used instead.
