Frequently Asked Questions

What is the risk of missing HSTS?

Users might inadvertently connect via HTTP first, allowing attackers to intercept the connection before it switches to HTTPS.

What is 'includeSubDomains'?

This flag ensures that HSTS protection applies to all subdomains (e.g., blog.yoursite.com) as well as the main domain.
