CSP

Abbreviation for Content Security Policy

In short and in plain language

The CSP is a security setting for a website.

With it, the site talks to the browser. It says where scripts, images and other content may come from.

This can make it harder to slip in foreign scripts. If the setting is too strict, some parts of the page may not work.

Definition
The CSP is a security setting with which a website tells the browser from which sources scripts, images and other content may be loaded. It can help to make injecting foreign scripts harder. An overly strict setting can restrict functions of the page.
