Security headers

Strict-Transport-Security header

HSTS tells browsers to only ever connect to your site over HTTPS for the given time, even if someone types http:// or follows an old link.

Recommended value

Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains

What it protects against

SSL-stripping and downgrade attacks on public Wi-Fi, and accidental plain-HTTP requests that leak cookies.

Before you turn it on

Only send it once HTTPS works on every subdomain if you use includeSubDomains. Add preload and submit to hstspreload.org only when you are sure, because removal takes months.
