Hsts max age too shortQuick win
Increase your HSTS max-age directive to at least 31536000 seconds (1 year) so browsers enforce HTTPS connections for a meaningful period.
On Cloudflare (CDN/proxy used with any platform)
- Log in to Cloudflare → select your domain.
- Go to SSL/TLS → Edge Certificates.
- Scroll to 'HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)' and click 'Enable HSTS'.
- In the dialog, set Max Age Header to '12 months (31536000)', toggle 'Include Subdomains' on (if all subdomains use HTTPS), then click Save.
- Note: Do NOT enable 'Preload' until you have verified your entire domain and all subdomains are permanently on HTTPS — preload list inclusion is very difficult to reverse.
- Verify with securityheaders.com.
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomainsThis is an HTTP response header — it must be sent by your server, NOT as an HTML meta tag. The meta tag is not supported for HSTS.
