Web Security Headers

Web security headers are HTTP response headers that enhance website security. Cloudflare allows you to easily configure these headers to protect against common attacks. Key headers include:

  • Content Security Policy (CSP): Controls resources the browser can load.
  • Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS): Enforces HTTPS connections.
  • X-Frame-Options: Prevents clickjacking attacks.
  • X-XSS-Protection: Enables XSS filtering in browsers.
  • Referrer-Policy: Controls referrer information sent with requests.

Cloudflare simplifies setting these headers, improving website security with minimal effort.
