What is HSTS?
HSTS, which stands for HTTP Strict Transport Security, is a web security policy mechanism that instructs browsers to only use HTTPS (secure HTTP) when communicating with a website.
How does VergeCloud support HSTS?
At VergeCloud, we help you keep your website secure by making sure visitors always use a safe, encrypted connection. When you turn on HSTS in your settings, we automatically make sure your site tells browsers to always use HTTPS instead of HTTP. This helps protect your visitors from certain types of attacks and keeps their data private. You can also choose to apply this rule to your subdomains or ask browsers to remember this rule for a longer time. It’s simple to set up—just turn it on in your dashboard and we’ll take care of the rest.
Does HSTS impact website performance?
No, in fact, we’re helping your site load a little faster for returning visitors. Once someone visits your site, their browser remembers to always use a secure connection, so it skips the extra step of switching from an insecure link to a secure one. This not only keeps things safer but can also save time. There’s no extra work for your server, and it won’t affect how quickly your content loads. So, with HSTS, we’re adding protection without hurting performance.
