Security
HSTS
Abbreviation for HTTP Strict Transport Security
In short and in plain language
HSTS is a setting on a web server.
With it, a site tells the browser what to do. From then on, it should open the site only in encrypted form.
This can make it harder to intercept or redirect connections. The browser remembers this for a set time.
