Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security to force HTTPS connections.
Quick Fix
# Nginx:
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains" always;
# Apache (.htaccess):
Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains"
# Next.js (next.config.js headers):
{ key: 'Strict-Transport-Security', value: 'max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains' }HSTS forces browsers to use HTTPS, preventing downgrade attacks and cookie hijacking.

Quick Fix
# Nginx:
add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';" always;
# Apache (.htaccess):
Header set Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';"
# Next.js (next.config.js headers):
{ key: 'Content-Security-Policy', value: "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'" }Content-Security-Policy prevents XSS attacks by controlling which resources the browser can load.

Missing Referrer Policy headerwarningSecurity~2 min fix
Add a Referrer-Policy header to control information leakage.
Quick Fix
# Nginx:
add_header Referrer-Policy "strict-origin-when-cross-origin" always;
# Next.js (next.config.js headers):
{ key: 'Referrer-Policy', value: 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin' }Controls how much referrer information is sent with requests, protecting user privacy.
Missing Permissions Policy headerwarningSecurity~2 min fix
